Thread: Iowadawg Boost

1. Put coffee in cup.
2. Put milk in cup (optional).
3. Sweeten with honey, molasses, or sugar (optional).
4. Stir.
5. Lift cup.
6. Bend elbow.
7. Say "Aah" and smile.

Lol, this made me smile.

Recipe for the real Iowadawg boost is:
Never use instant coffee (crappy shit no matter what you do with it).
Never use any additive (be a MAN, drink it hot and black and strong).

Oh, and except when visiting, I always use a MUG, not a girly cup.

But you have left out so many important details!!!

At first these instructions seemed idiot proof, but upon closer examination, I found many missing details: How much coffee grounds do I use? how much water? How long do I percolate for? and at what temperature?

I guess I will never learn how to make coffee!!:2005:

Step one, do not get a percolator, get a coffee maker (avoid mr coffee, they are the pits) that is good for 12 cups (avoid the 4 to 10 cuppers, those are for casual coffee drinkers).
Step two, fill up with cold water to the mark shown for 12 cups.
Step three, put in paper filter.
Step four, start with 3 scoops of coffee. If too weak, add more next time. If too strong, you are a certified girly.
Step five, turn on and wait a few minutes.
Step six, grab mug (the bigger the mug, the better, but at least a 20 ouncer).
Step seven, fill mug to the top (so if you spill some, it will wake your wife up to yell at you for doing so,,,,this is a fun part).
Step eight, start drinking.

^ the REAL IowaDawg Boost!

Coffee Drinking 101 goes into the real manly drinking of coffee.
Like types of coffee to avoid, why to be picky about getting coffee at other outlets like convenience stores, and to never drink anything that does not say BLACK COFFEE. (thus it makes you a not manly drinker of coffee to ever go to a starbucks and get their milkified, sweetened, drinks with names like latte du grande negrito sweeto).

I'm not a man so I don't have to worry about being manly, I think the males here prefer me to be womanly... women drink coffee too!

I made a coffee drinker out of my wife.
But like just about every woman I know, she has to use additives.
Some people use so much milk and sugar, I just wonder why they bother with a dip of coffee.

LOL

I have been a long time coffee drinker, I guess I started back in my ARMY days, as everyone else drank it!

People tell me I am a weird coffee drinker, I only drink it when its cold outside, and only till 10 or 11 never past that time, some of my friends drink it all day long, and I dont understand it, in my book, it is a morning drink

Same here, I don't much prefer hot drinks at any other time of day.

lol this recipe tickled me a little bit

My gf gave me decaf the other day. I usually think "what's the point of that" but it tasted pretty good. Pretty good, but not great. Having not drank much coffee for over a year now, my head did hurt a little, similar to coffee withdrawal headaches.

I'll stick with the licorice teas and chocolate soya milk for now though.

I plumb forgot!
Only additive to my coffee?
Good whiskey, brandy.
