LOLEat smaller portions. No more acid reflux. That is all.
I didn't even know I had reflux (GERD) until I got an endoscopy -- for stomach pain and unexpected weight loss.
Portion size has nothing to do with it.

I never figured out why people hang out at starbucks, but the actual coffee is good.
Once in a while I buy a cup of their drip coffee. Learned the hard way that you've gotta give it a sniff to make sure it's fresh.
I've rejected at least a half dozen that were old & nasty. (I'm picky)
I’ve tried it a few different times, I figure a lot of people swear by it so it must be good, nope don’t like bitter coffee.. maybe it’s not fresh? Idk. I grew up on Folgers so maybe that’s it.. now I drink this at home..I never figured out why people hang out at starbucks, but the actual coffee is good.

I guess you won’t be stopping by for coffee..lol
I like Maxwell House Colombian blend. Hate any kind of Folgers. I love 8 coffee Columbian blend. I like to grind my own beans now and again but I don't get to do it too often anymore. My old tattoo artist shop was right beside a coffee shop and his wife worked there. She would bring me all kinds of dark roast beans and give them to me for free they were greatBlack is the only way for me, but I'm picky.
Cheap coffee like Folgers & Maxwell House is disgusting.
Tomorrow is the usual BFO Sunday market in Antwerp, the Vogelmarkt. Plan is I get out and about for mobility since the weather is supposed to be wonderful tomorrow so that also means a beer in the sun somewhere.I like Maxwell House Colombian blend.

Just a quick story I'm not a big coffee shop type of guy but I love coffee. Well whenever I was getting a tattoo one day I had my friend go next door to the shop and I told him I wanted a Colombian coffee. I gave him $20 cuz that's all I had on me four twenties. Told him to get him something to well I told him I wanted a large Columbian. 20 minutes later he comes in with this tiny little cup and hands it to me. I stare at him and say what the hell is this. He said this is what you ordered and so did my tattoo artist. Well my tattoo artist knew that I drink a lot of coffee. And he knew damn well I didn't ever order an expresso or anything of the sorts from his wife shop. Well come to find out a Colombian on that particular day and in that coffee shop what some sort of super caffeine shot that tasted like s*** and cost me $18 and it literally was about half of a drink of coffee. Thing is I've ordered from there before and just say Colombian coffee. I guess he just said Colombian and that's what I got. The tattoo artist said, oh man this is going to wake you up you're going to feel so good blah blah blah. Cuz I just got off of work from the coal mines mind you this is the morning I work night shift. Well 2 finish this long story I got ripped off almost $20 on some bulshit thing call the Columbian that absolutely did nothing for me except what to drink a coffee and wash the taste out of my mouth. And by the way where I live I literally can think of two coffee shops within 60 miles so we're not very well versed on the ins and outs of coffee around here LOLTomorrow is the usual BFO Sunday market in Antwerp, the Vogelmarkt.

I know there will be a kilo or two of beans bought from one stand that's there every week.
We don't have any instant coffee here, we have a grinder, a decent sized filter set and refillable pods for the Dolce Gusto (easy once you know how much to throw in and how to tamp it down) as well as the "day to day" pre-ground stuff that's decent wrt acidity/taste and cost at all times. minimum 4kg of coffee is the available norm here, mix of the "cheap but good enough" pre-ground and the "worth every cent at €15 per kilo" beans.
The one thing I will not allow is zero caffeine available, last time I tried that the cats in the place I was living in didn't want to come into the same room and they were at the least risk. Worst week of my life.
One supermarket chain had a Colombian blend that I got to the absolute perfect strength in a cafetiere, after mug number 4 it would release every pleasure chemical in my brain but without the "hyperactivity" associated with caffeine. Others would be bouncing around like jackrabbits on speed and acid with one mug, I'd be sitting there so chilled and relaxed.Just a quick story I'm not a big coffee shop type of guy but I love coffee.

Been there, wait until you waken up at 2am and can't get back to sleep without caffeine.Bro I make 4 cups of coffee ever night just to fall asleep...I thought I was the only one will I mety xs mom
Never could do iced coffee...I like frappuccino .. mocha...I think that's how it's spelled lol...but omg I love them...and Starbucks mocha...not really iced coffee imo but I guess it is...iv had actually iced coffee and gag..not for me....I need a quick flowering sativa that tastes like mocha fraps lol..who's down to help me breedI'm going to brew up right after I roll up, nothing special, store breakfast blend of Colombian
If it ever warms up in New England I take this morning ritual to the back deck, and eventually to the beach, often as iced coffee (but never my first cup)
Coffee is never a mere "ritual", it's a necessity.I'm with @jerryb73, the donut shop k-cups are my thing.
I walk past the head into the galley and turn it on, then back to the bathroom for AM constitutional and shower. I like my dugout and my coffee to both be on hot standby as soon as I emerge from the head.
I typically grab my mug and dugout then head out to visit my plants for feeding, tending, etc. Unless I'm on my scooter out on a run this will be how I spend every morning of the rest of my life. I think it's perfect.
Strange, the little rituals that we settle into.
That looks amazing BW!I love iced coffee! But only in the summer, I bring it down the beach often in a thermos tumbler, I love to sit there early with hot or cold, any kind of coffee really..View attachment 4124157..burning up a breakfast joint, I don't get there early much anymore but it's my favorite time at the ocean
