You should switch to decaf, @pachyderm.

Decaf runs the risk of missing much of the point of coffee, which is caffeine.

Recently, an Italian colleague made me some decaf Italian coffee with a Bialetti moka coffee pot with the express aspiration that I would accept her intention that it "was just as good as real coffee" and hoping that I "couldn't tell the difference".

It was not "just as good as real coffee" and, to her surprise, yes, I "could all the difference."

It tasted pleasant enough, but lacked that "je ne sais quoi" - actually, I do know exactly - je sais, je sais, je sais - it lacked the bite and heft and wonderful lift of caffeine.

This whole thread is rather reminiscent of the old "dressing gown (or bathrobe) on back of door" which - when in that drowsy and blinkered and sometimes bewildered state between sleep and wakefulness - one imagines can be any number of things.

I brew a pot of Folger's Black Silk every morning. Delicious.

I'm having a cup right now. ;)

Folger's is not coffee.

Those of us who are denizens of the espresso thread have a beady eye on you.

I hope you'll forgive me if I seem a little edgy at work today. I psyched myself out this morning by accident. I woke up at 3:30 and either my wife's or the dog's stomach made a noise like the aliens from the movie Signs and I couldn't get that out of my head. Then I took the dog out around 4:00 and something scared her too! Probably one of those aliens from the movie Signs. Then when I got in the shower a few minutes later something knocked the soap off the rack, probably one of those aliens from the movie Signs... So, Like I said, I hope you'll forgive me if I seem a little edgy today at work...

;)


P.S. Yes, the water killed the aliens from Signs. But this is the same effect that you have when you are in the ocean and everything that touches you is a shark... ;) ;)
Is your house haunted?

Don't watch alien movies late at night :) I got out of the habitat of that, because all sorts of things give me the freaks.
