I was gonna mention that you were the one that gave me my first taste of coffee. I still can't believe you drink that much coffee in a day. You're my coffee hero dad! One day, I hope to attain the high level of caffienated tolerance that you have achieved. And Joel, if Brazillian coffee tastes better then American coffee, then pass me that missionary pith helmet and those kahki shorts, cause I'm going South! Dad!

I think coffee generally smells okay. Although the coffee at the McDonald's that we always stopped at for breakfast on the way to New York always made me want to barf. It smelled nasty!

Actually, Grandma K was the big coffee drinker (Norse thing I guess) I'm a 35 to 40 cups a day man myself. Figure out how many cups I drink from the time I was around 13 till I went into the Navy where I really developed a taste of that wonderful brew and why I can still fall fast asleep at night and don't shake. By the way "decaf" isn't part of my coffee system. So go ahead and enjoy your coffee. It is the best. To Me, Coffee is the elixir of life — You and your sister get your love of coffee from me.

Though, I will admit that Starbucks isn't half bad if they doctor it with enough flavorings and stuff . . . the price, however, is absurd (though I still drink it occasionally).

She doesn't get it from me I swear :-) Hm, I will admit that most gas station coffee tastes horrible but usually smells pretty good. But that's because most of it has been sitting around all day and is scorched, burnt, stale, and has the last guys armpit sweat floating in it. We pretentious coffee purists know that there are 3 keys to a good cup of coffee: freshness, freshness, freshness! And, just so we're all clear on this, I, as an official representative for the Institute of Research and Proliferation of Yummy Yummy Coffee (the IRPYYC for short) Coffee does smell good and it tastes good. I could understand how the smells coming from a coffee factory would make you think it tastes bad. Mix the smells of a factory with anything and you have instant revulsion. But of course, I don't get my coffee from a giant factory vat. It comes in nice little containers that seal in all the fresh yummy goodness! MMMMM-MMMM! Besides, this is my website, so what I say goes around here ("right out the window!") Sorry, obscure joke. Boy, Karen, way to be blunt!!!

I kind of wish I liked it though, because I've always wanted to ask someone (anyone) if they wanted to go out for a cup of coffee. I would like to say, however, that not ALL women take up 1/2 the bed. I, for one, take up more like 3/4's of the bed! ;) I think coffee smells awesome, but tastes yuck.

And I really don't like it when people deny the truth: Coffee really does smell terrible in the morning, and it does taste atrocious. <b>YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!</b> Coffee is proof that if you say something enough everyone will start believing it.

I have a cup every morning! Joel and I get the south American instant stuff that's made by the same company that they get their coffee in Brasil. The coffe brand we use is Nes Caffe , at least I think thats how its spelled and there's an accent mark thingy over the e. It's really yummy to drink cold too. Just put a spoonful of instant coffee in a cup with 3 1/2 spoonfuls of sugar then fill about 1/4 of the cup full of hot water, stir to dissolve then fill the rest the way with cold milk and stir, stir, stir! Yum! Anywho...as my husband says "Coffee is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy!" Coffee is wonderful! I have a cup every morning!

Just a thought. :-) I think it smells wonderful in the morning, it usually tastes great, and I like to hang out with all the pretentious subculture people just to annoy them. I can imagine them sipping their $45 cafe mocha chai tea latte americano quad shot with extra foam and whip cream (note: that's not a real coffee and probably wold taste horrible), muttering into their finely groomed and equally pretentious companion's ear, "Who let THAT guy in? This place is going to the dumps". Hmmmm, I think you might not like coffee Ray.
