You're right. This is actually Dan. It's time you all knew the truth...
You see, following the summer of 2011, I became increasingly aware that loneliness was turning me in to a sad, bitter, rough husk (much like the green shell that wraps so tightly around the corn of my precious homeland - the sparkling jewel of America that is Iowa). I had to do something. People didn't interest me anymore, but I didn't want to face the world on my own. So I invented... her.
Yes. Yes, it's true.
I set about weaving an elaborate mythology so thorough and so complete, that not even the keenest eye among you could find fault with it. I spent hours digitally rendering a lifelike imagine of the facade that was to become "My Terin." I knew that wouldn't be enough, though. Oh, no. I had to create a holographic interface with which people could interact in real space and time. When ICNY rolled around that winter, she was ready. No one ever even suspected. Not even my own mother.
After my deception was was complete and Terin's existence in peoples' minds was absolute... I invented the Lulz Wars. For you see, I could not handle my newfound peace. I needed to put Terin, really just a manifestation of my own self doubt and also secret vanities, in to battle. A battle where she would say things and react to things as I had heretofore only wished to. Her crushing defeat was the beginning of my realizing that Terin couldn't fight my battles for me forever. Indeed, I realized that I would have to get rid of her all together one day.
So, I feigned a proposal. The imagined "yes" was enough to make people care again. Suddenly the Lulz War did not seem such a sad, sad loss.
But now you know. Now you know everything.
... Ooooor, Terin's real, and just doesn't like coffee.

You are truly a master of disguise because it is simply not possible to not like coffee.

This thread makes me quite excited to try the Chazzano coffee @ expo. Since I mostly drink coffee at work, I've found it hard to actually go out and buy different types of coffee to try even though I do love me a good cup of coffee. Maybe I'll have to get something to brew some coffee at work.

Someone give me five things they love about coffee... Go. Gogogogogogogo...
Does anybody put butter in their coffee? I have some friends doing the bulletproof coffee thing (butter + some supplement). I tried a little butter in it this morning. My thoughts are I could barely taste it and I got an extra 50 fat calories in at breakfast.

I'm going to go out on a limb ... a really sturdy, low limb, with no risk ... and say that anyone who makes statements like "That’s because toxins in cheap coffee (Starbucks included) will steal your mental edge and actually make you weak, but clean coffee actually fights cancer and provides antioxidants." doesn't actually know what they're talking about, but are trying to sell a product. He specifically states "power of yak butter tea" which is a green tea and quite different from coffee. I would guess that it's pointless

My five reasons for loving coffee...
1. I love the aroma of a freshly brewed cup of coffee. There's just something about it that says to me, "ahhhh, grab a cup of me and relax on the patio, or by the beach, or at the cafe, or where ever." Tea is just, eh...
2. Coffee is better enjoyed in groups any time during any day in any weather. I don't feel the same towards tea.
3. I prefer the taste of alcohol with coffee than with tea. I really enjoy a good Irish Coffee done proper or Kentucky Coffee.
4. Coffee makes my mornings, just because. No coffee = a bad start.
5. When I work (school, side projects, professionally) coffee keeps me calm yet continuous. Tea calms me too much and makes me want to sleep.
I don't hate tea, I drink it often (green and chamomile mostly). But, not as often as coffee
Well yeah that's the company slinging stuff, but outside of the company that TMed the brand "bulletproof coffee" isn't a style of coffee? I'm not supporting the supplement, or any one brand of coffee. I use a local one named Boyers, and I just thought I'd see if anyone actually had coffee with butter that made it taste good.
My coffee/tea balance tilts WAY more towards tea, but my reasons for liking a good coffee are exactly the same as a good tea:
1. The aroma is awesome 2. The flavor is awesome 3. It's a great way to start the morning 4. It doesn't have sugar, carbonation, or calories 5. Getting one involves taking a short break from what I'm doing and moving around a bit

I just googled it and that was what came up. Here is a guy arguing sorta against the bulletproof coffee guy's forumla and recommending his own. I kinda doubt it's valid in general, but who knows. I just drink plain iced coffee in general, it's hot in TX.

I use my french press to make a full pot, enjoy nice hot cup in the morning and then chill rest down for later to make iced coffee. A friend told me using a french press is the dumbest way to make iced coffee, but I really like it, and that's all that's matters I guess...

I can only speak from my extensive experience paying my way through college as a Starbucks barista - but this is the first I've heard of "bulletproof coffee" as a concept. And we got asked for coffee made with a LOT of weird things....so, unlikely???

I can't help but agree with ALL OF THE ABOVE! Coffee is delicious, fantastic, and a part of my everyday routine.

coffe = life
It's only $1400 guys! Alternatively, there's one that is a table top model (this one is free standing in an iron housing) which is like $600.
I should really stay the hell out of antique markets.
EDIT: Also, Stumptown Coffee roasts some pretty baller beans.
