How do you like your coffee?

[severine]

Gotcha.

I like my coffee so thick that I have to chew it. I mix nails in so that while I'm chewing my coffee I can spit the nails out like a nail gun to frame houses.

Do you ever get your boss in the forehead when spitting those nails?

My mail man was reading my copy of "How to pick up trashy women" when he delivered it...

Apparently it worked... look what you landed.

Of course, it could be worse...the mailman could be asking you about dating me.

Wow, you are on a roll today!

I'm hearing drum rolls and cymbals with every read.

Yeah, but he got over it. Now he cheers me on when I play in golf tournaments..

Who said he didn't... You know those strange calls on your cell and emails you've been getting, well....

As scary as it sounds I've actually only had 2 cups of coffee in my 36 odd years. It's not that I don't like the flavor (I like coffee ice cream and for a while I was a fan of the DD coffee coolattas). I just don't like hot beverages, and even weird enough iced coffee. First thing in the AM on the way to work, instead of coffee I get my caffiene fix via a Diet Pepsi. It's juts my thing.

On the flip side, I LOVE many a coffee drinker, as they have made not only myself, but many a colleague of mine in the dental profession ALOT of $$ over the years as folks sip away all day at their super sugar ladened super grande extra extra extra extra extra extra coffees all day long. All that sugar bathing the teeth all day is just the recipe that the bacteria that cause cavitities need to do their thing. If you want to avoid seeing my kind in the office for some "drill action" and you're a coffee addict, have them make it with either Splenda or Equal or any other non-fermenatable carbohydrate sweetener.

Thanks for the mention about "drill action"...I have a cleaning tomorrow. :roll:

Does anyone know where I can buy a mini bean grinder that runs off of 12V DC?

http://www.athenabrands.com/techdata/6972_pds.pdf Note that it draws 8 amps, which is getting near the limit of most car accessory ports.

You could also install an inverter, and then you could run the coffee maker, too. (I thinkg I have 600W one that i never installed.)

I usually fresh grind some Costa Rican Tarrazu, which is on the dark side. (Our local coffee shop owner recommended it, and I've been hooked on it for about 6+ years.) Course grind and into a press pot. Black. Great stuff.

Reading that, you might think I'm a coffee snob. I', not generally all that fussy. I drink the swill at the firehouse, but will opt for something better, if it's available.

Coffee is the energy drink. Why would I want anything else?

 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

I like my coffee like my women .. blond and sweet. I drink 2 to 6 cups a day plus several cups of hot tea.

I like your new Aviator...holla

Just out of curiosity Dr. Jeff, would rinsing with an antiseptic mouthwash after drinking coffee more or less kill the harmful bacteria that thrives on the extra refined white sugar?

Yeah, I've been thinking about getting an inverter for my laptop and USB GPS receiver...

Why is firehouse coffee always so bad? Well at least in our case, no one will spring for even milk, nevermind half and half, so we only have the powder stuff... *shudder*

I should buy a Keurig and a bunch of non refrigerated creamers and donate them. For everyone's sake.

 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

I thought you would like that .. love grilled cheese sandwiches.

Rye bread..cheddar..american bacon..and tomato makes for a mad steezy grilled steeze sandwich...or as more civilized people would call..a mo-fo panini..:beer:

 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Sounds good ... I was thinking of trying a cheese and peanut butter combo...

My late grandfather always liked all natural peanut butter on Jarlsburg cheese so it could be decent..definitely good energy for skiing/riding..

If it's just for your laptop, a DC-DC converter will do the job for less money and agrivation. (That's what I've been using and is actually why I haven't installed an inverter. If you go the inverter route, be certain it's rated for the output power you need and that the wiring is too. One of my more memorable fires was caused by an impropperly installed inverter in the sleeper berth of a tractor trailer. No biggie, except that it was hooked to a trailer full of radioactive medical waste and it was parked next to the fuel pumps (diesel, Gas and Natural gas.)

PM if you have any questions.

Some but not all and thats the problem. Basically all of those literally 10's of thousands of type specific bacteria that cause decay once they get that snack of fermentable carbohydrate they quickly start releasing the by-product (acid) and continue to do so for roughly 30 minutes as long as you don't consume anymore carbohydrate in that 30 minutes. While an antiseptic rinse will lower the bacterial load, and also dilute the acid already released into your mouth, many of those bacteria will live on and keep oozing acid all over your teeth which if allowed to continue over an extended period of time will cause some drill time.

Short version, if you can't give up sugar in your coffee, chug it, not sip it! It's not how much sugar you have, its how OFTEN you have it

So my six cups of tea a day with 1 packet of sugar each is a bad thing, right?
Time to adjust the taste buds.

If you chug 6 cups at once, not a big deal, if your sipping all day long buy some splenda!

As I LOVE to explain to the teenagers that are addicted to soda and/or sports drinks that come to my office, basically everytime some sugar(carbohydrate) crosses your lips bcteria pee acid into your mouth for about a half hour I find more times than not that teens need the "gross out" explanation to get through to them

FYI, in one 20oz bottle of regular soda (Coke, Pepsi, Mt Dew, etc) there's just under the equivalent of 23 packets of sugar

I acquired a taste for artificial sweeteners for that reason...it's amazing how many calories you can cut back on by avoiding sweetened drinks.

I still can't take coffee black, but at least I can reduce the number of calories that are in each cup. The only downside is that I'm hopelessly addicted to the caffeine now...if only they could come up with a decent decaf.

 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

That's why I'm all about Sugar Free Red Bull...is beer bad for your teeth?
