Coca-cola? I would have thought Red States would prefer Dr. Pepper. But then, I’m in Texas.

I'm a conservative, and I buy Costa Rican, Tres Rios, Magnolia in Oct/Nov depending on the market. Green beans, in bulk.

I roast and grind my own.

It's what I've done for the last 15 years.

I don't trust any zipperhead that looks like he fell down in the lure section of a bait shop to make my coffee for me.

Black. Only women put cream and sugar in coffee.

DP is ok if you can't get Shiner. Beer doesn't solve any problems, but then again, neither does soda water.

Let’s just follow the narrative, here.

“You’re NOT a Democrat unless you’ve been on the ‘down low”.

**

Never put sugar in my coffee for the past 20 years. Always black. I actually thought coffee drinkers who need sugar were fags.

ROTFLMAO That was funny. I've bought whole bean for 25 years. Kona, Costa Rican peaberry, and (when I'm feeling flush) Jamaican Blue Mountain are three among those that I prefer. And a Braun bean grinder - I've never found one better. I've thought about home roasting, but the cost of the equipment can be off-putting, from some of the sites I've visited. Plus, I don't think we have the counter space for one more appliance.

I can't afford Kona anymore. I use to blend 1/4 Kona with the Magnolia, because I like it and it sells well with friends and customers.

I haven't had JBM for over a decade. My contacts can't get it green anymore.

And, Hero? I use a hot air popcorn popper to roast my coffee. It goes on a shelf when it's done.

I don't waste counterspace with microwave transmitters that I can't modulate. (Read that as a microwave oven).

I can afford Tres Rios when the market is a buyers market. October/November... Or so. Depends. Gotta follow the market.

I'll roast my own and everyone else can pound sand. ;)

To give any notice to such garbage says more about ones mindset than do the products.

E.g., I wear Birkenstock sandals, therefore right wingers wear Birkenstock sandals. I define who I am and not a bunch of group think morons.

In case the hot air isn’t enough to tell Democrats and Republicans apart, a new study has broken down the different kinds of things the two political camps apparently like.

False premise.

Except for RINOs (who are, after all, Democrats), conservatives do not align personal preferences with politics.

That very idea, however, sums up the DemonRat collective.

Tell a liberal that politics is not, in fact, life - and watch them get angry right in front of your eyes.

Because after all, to a liberal, politics is not only life, but anger is also truth.

And personal responsibility is death.

Home roaster here as well. I’ve burned out two Nesco roasters in the last five years. Lucky my son lives on the big Island. Buys green beans for me at the local farmers markets. Kona peaberry is the nectar of the gods........

Can someone please post text lists so I don’t have to try to crawl through their graphics with my dinosaur of a phone? Thanks!

PS From some Freepers’ comments here, this is drivel, but I’m still curious.

Are you pulling my leg? A hot air popper? You can actually roast green coffee beans in one? And I know Kona is a deep dent in the wallet. I only indulge occasionally due to the price. Kona blends don't cut it - gotta have 100% genuine. But Jamaican Blue Mountain makes Kona look like robusta Nescafe filler, price-wise. The good stuff runs $35 a pound anymore.

I aint particular, I’ll drink any lifer juice as long as it’s hot, black, and strong. My son thinks I am some kind of knuckle dragging primitive after he saw me scrape off 3 or 4 days worth of scum, reheat it and drink it down (we were out of grounds and about 80 miles from any town). That was about 27 years ago and he hasn’t changed his opinion since.
Coffee is coffee, a few floaters in it just adds protein.
