That performance of Black Coffee is one of my favorite Rock n' Roll songs in history.

Little known fact (here) since i was 12 or 13 I have been a hardcore coffee addict. Hot strong and black. I drink more of it than anything else, carry a travel cup like Uncle Si does ice tea. Still know how to brew it in an old fashioned percolator even over a campfire.

Well known fact. What you get at Starbucks AIN'T COFFEE.

I'm also a big coffee guy.

I am bored of Starbucks, so I order their Americanos now.

There's a place called Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf that has some decent coffee.

I do NOT make coffee in a percolator. I have had good coffee in one of those French Press things. That's a good cup of coffee. Have you had it prepared like that?

Pastorius said...

Now, as far as REAL black coffee, you're the expert on that one. Although it looks like Steve Marriott knew how to light them up too.

I have had French Press coffee - my one kid makes it that way - and it is very good. I know how to use a percolator but make it in a Mr Coffee type drip machine. Kuerigs to me are an abomination. Starbucks Americanos are ok but here anyway seem all strength and no flavor.

Have you ever tried Cafe Bustelo coffee? Very strong nearly espresso.

Don't understand the Steve Marriot reference.

Steve Marriot was Keith Richards' choice to replace Mick Taylor. Mick Jagger refused for fear Marriot would upstage him.

And I'm sure he knew how to "light them up." Or maybe "fire them up." LOL.

Pastorius said...

Sure, whatever you want to call it. Marriott knew the secret and so does MR, though he's playing it as if he doesn't know what I'm talking about.

It was only very recently that I became aware that black chicks dig redheaded dudes.

Redheads go Grey faster than anyone else. True.
That's why you never saw Redd Foxx with red hair.
