Well, sort of.
Actually thanks to the man from Ottawa and the man from a little farther away for bringing some Jamaican Blue Mountain to ourselves.
We are very and very much appreciative.
Cheers to both of you; mine's black.
munin ~ Echoing the above, thank you both so very much. Safe trip back.
Mine's with a touch of cream and sugar.
I just received some wonderful smelling coffee from a friend in Australia.

Posted by: dad on Agosto 23, 2004 09:28 AMGood coffee, should smell good, taste good and make you feel good.
Decent coffee will do two out of three with taste being hopefully one of those two.
The average cup of coffee I have does none of those things.
Sometimes the worst coffees are those that smell good and taste vile. I accuse most flavoured coffee of being in this category; although for a while I did enjoy a nice butter pecan flavoured coffee.
I generally can't stand flavour coffee primarily because they smell very nice (sometimes) but taste completely differently. Meaning that they have an independence of flavour, you can taste the water and then some form of chemical flavour, but they don't blend together.
In good coffee you can detect flavours within the coffee, not outside of it.
For example in a nice mocha java you can actually detect a chocolate flavour. Or maybe in a Sumatran coffee (a good harvest if you are lucky enough as they tend to wander in quality) you might detect a fruitiness or nutty quality.
Anyways.
Why can't you drink coffee?

Not can't - don't.
Still do not make a decent cuppa joe, so I have given up in disgust/frustration.
Drink Tea. Ha. Consistently mediocre, as opposed to consistently bad.
