The coffee thread

So for someone that doesn't want to get their tongue burnt what do you suggest as an alternative to frappes because that's all I've been drink recently lol

Iced coffees/teas (chai tea) ... authentic frappe ... if caffeine is an issue you can get most coffees prepared half/half, or decaf (but what's the fun in that?)
 
Well I don't think i've ever really drunken coffee before, unless Coffee Ice Cream counts or Bolthouse Farms Arabica Coffee Flavored Protein shakes count! lol

I'll be up in Montreal next month and am looking forward to frequenting both of these establishments (although the last time I had coffee from Second Cup it was burnt beyond tasteful recognition).

Blame it on the barista not the shop. A nice Second Cup location is on Rue Ste. Catherine, close to Le Musée d’art contemporain. Good place to people watch.

Dumb question because I've never been much of a coffee person (have to avoid caffeine with my condition), but are things like lattes, espressos, cappuccino, frappuccino, etc are they all considered coffee or part of the coffee family?

I had my first ever frappuccino from starbucks the other day... it was glorious. Can't believe I've been alive almost 24 years and I avoided them.

Espresso is part of coffee family but the beans are usually a darker roast and it's prepared differently (with high pressure steam). The Greeks & Turks approach it over a burner. Capuccino is just espresso with frothed milk.
 
I have to recommend Atlanta Coffee Roasters. First, freshly roasted fresh coffee is just a different thing, period. Second, their Italian Roast and Vienna Roasts are enough to make a man weep openly. I buy my coffee there. Or have it shipped when I don't have the time top drive all the way to Toco Hills.
 
I have my Aeropress. Using it for a week or so and I really like it so far. I've only used it with one type of coffee but it definately makes a great cup of coffee. My wife loves it too. She hardly uses the espresso maker any more.
It makes a better iced latte than espresso imo.
Glad I got it. Can't wait to try other blends with it.
