I just tried coffee about 2 weeks ago. I never had any idea that it would taste so good. But then again, It was a frappe ... It was not a real coffee. When I was little, I accidentally drank some milk my mommy put in the refrigerator. And it had some coffee in it. I thought it was hot chocolate. And I spit it all over the floor. My mommy told me to never ever ever drink coffee again because it will make you old. And druggies drink coffee. I thought about it a while and realized that it must be ok for adults to drink it though. Something about what she said kept me from ever drinking it. My parents made coffee off limits. If we drank it we would get in huge trouble. My brother was grounded for an entire month for being caught drinking it. And he was in high school. My parents also warned us about drugs. I never did drugs either. When I became an adult, I always had a negative feel about coffee and always felt it was "bad" and must taste horrible - and not like hot chocolate. But 2 weeks ago at a coffee shop the waiter convinced me to take a sip. I always go in there and order a glass of water and maybe a cookie when I am not on a diet. He noticed I never had coffee. So, I finally took a sip of frappe coffee loved it !!!! Now I drink frappee coffee !!! YAY !!!!AND I AM NOT A BAD PERSON OR A HOOD ! I'M A VERY GOOD GIRL. AND EVEN IF COFFEE SHOWS THAT YOU ARE BAD PERSON, I ONLY DRINK IT LIKE ONCE A MONTH. IT'S BAD FOR YOUR TEETH AND BONES I LEARNED. Anyways, if anyone wants to take me out on a date, i have not been on one in many years. We could actually go get coffee. And I would even drink it too !!!!!! My name is Vyikktoiriyjiah Khuansttauncss. OH !! p.s. I will not go out with a stranger. I know that strangers can harm a girl or even rape me. So, if you are a stranger, I won't go out with you.

That is WAY too much to read, but....YAY!!

Hello "nice-one-for-you".

Thank you for your very thoughtful words :-) I'm excited about coffee.
also, the same day I tried coffee, someone finally talked me into actually eating a mushroom. It was good because It was fried in olive oil and garlic and spices ... I almost was not able to swallow it due to the texture. But I got it down. And I liked it. The other day, I made a few of them myself and I enjoyed them on a salad.

YAY!!....lol

Coffee

Punk Bunny,

If you have not tried a frappe, you have not lived yet. It tastes like a milk shake that has whipped cream on top. It has a very very slight coffee flavor to it depending on how much coffee flavor you want in it. It's super yummy on your tummy ! Try it. What will it hurt? They only cost about 3 dollars. That is all you will be out. And if you really like them, you can make them at home for next to nothing in cost.

go on be daring.....have a full strength flat white....

welcome newbie.....

Hi Mikey,

I did try that. It was not too bad. I did not even put sugar in it till the second sip.

I got some coffee at Wal Mart - the wall mart brand. Why does it taste so weak compared to the coffee I get at McDonalds or any coffee place? Am I making it wrong at home? I put the filter in. I put in 2 scoops. And I fill up the coffee pot with water. I dump it in and turn it on. That's how I make it. And it does not taste as good as the stronger coffee you get most any place at a restaurant.

What am I doing wrong? Do I need to put 4 scoops in ?
