Mixing Coffee Flavors

I went to go make a cup of my favorite coffee and noticed it was getting low. So I decided to mix it with another type of coffee; Vanilla Nut + Hawaiian Hazelnut = Hawaiian Vanilla Hazelnut.

Not bad at all. Its the Don Francisco's brand if you're interested.

I do this on occasion. I find that while I'm not a huge fan of either french vanilla or hazelnut, they can be pretty good mixed together.

The wife's most recent mix was Barnie's Coffee Cake (1/3), Creme Brulee (1/3), and Cool Cafe Blues (1/3).

It's pretty tasty. But ALL of Barnie's coffees are great. I highly recommend them.

Know what my favorite coffee flavor is?

COFFEE FLAVORED!

Sheesh, you kids and your crazy-ass flavored coffees!

(Not to be confused with a "crazy ass-flavored coffee." That's even nastier!)

Preach it brother - coffee should taste like...well, coffee. If I want French vanilla I'll go get some ice cream.

On one hand, taking away their weapons is a dead giveaway that they will need them. On the other hand, by the time conflict starts the players will already have opened the rulebooks and found the parts that deal with bare-handed combat, performing disarm moves, and using improvised weapons. Players may blunder through dialog with shocking ineptitude, forget the name of the country they are in, or get confused about which side they are on, but once it comes time to roll for initiative they all turn into Sun Tzu. - Shamus Young DM of the Rings

Problem for me is with the brand we buy, the coffee flavored coffee is way to strong for my taste.; and it always upsets my stomach. So I have to get a flavor compatable with my tummy. The French Vanilla when brewed just right is ambrosia for my tastebuds.

Dude, that sucks! After many years in the Military, I can't drink coffee unless a disembodied hand rises out of the cup and strikes me three or four times across the face and then forces me to drink it.

ROFL!! I gotta tell that to one of my friends that is fanatical about weird monsters. Hes a compendium the size of the 3 3E core rulebooks chock full of these things. His fave is the mini-tarrasques that this one npc breeds.

I agree with you in theory.

Think of it this way, chunky peanut butter defeats the purpose of peanut butter. Yet, I still prefer chunky to smooth.

Actually that makes it sound like I prefer flavored coffee to regular, which is not the case. Unless it's amaretto flavored beans/grounds and amaretto flavored creamer. It's like drinking almonds.

I appreciate the premise, as long as I can add small amounts of sugar and/or milk or cream to my coffee. If not, I withdraw my support.

I am in the same camp. The wife will only drink Barnie's flavored coffee,
but I prefer regular coffee. I prefer Ethiopian Yrgacheffe for medium roast
and Hatian Bleu for light roast (though, if I can SNAG actual 100% Jamaican
Blue Mountain, that is the best light roast).

What? No! Chunky peanut butter brings the peanut butter as close as possible to its noble progenitor, the peanut. Similarly, regular coffee unsullied with froufrou crap is closest to the coffee bean in its purest form. Thus, obviously the perfect meal is a peanut butter sandwich with plain black coffee. That's science, boys and girls!
