We are having coffee on the balcony,Ankara, with my university student friends,  it´s beautiful outside today!

Some of us from England, Germany, Italy and Greece.

We like coffee.

Today is our coffee day!Coffee talks day!

Do you know?

Which is the best quality coffee in the world?

Brazil, China, Chile, Colombia, Jamaica, sao Paula, etc…

I hope we’ll have coffee with you when you visit Ankara, maybe one day, who knows?Small World!

A Turkish proverb:

A cup of coffee commits one to forty years of friendship : Bir fincan kahvenin kýrk yýllýk hatýrý vardýr

Awww nice thread - it is nice to hear about YOU, instead of just a list 

I love coffee too Yilgun - my favourite is usually a Colombian/Brazilian blend and I love it freshly made in a cafetiere (or an expresso machine).  I like it black with no sugar please

 

The best coffee in the world is supposed to be Blue Mountain (from Jamaica) - it is rare and very expensive, so I have never tried it!

Enjoy!

I haven´t tried every coffee in the world so couldn´t possibly comment on which the best might be........but the coffee I drink every morning is Santos & Java from Whittards - it is delightful

Perhaps you should invite some of the people currently arguing away in your ´Religion´ thread to sit down and drink coffee together!

 

I like my coffee strong and I love Turkish coffee

Why limit it to people in the ´Religion´ Thread???

Perhaps everyone everywhere that is arguing over religion should sit down together and drink coffee.........maybe the world might be a significantly better place......

 I think that really depends on the quality of the coffee served

(PS. It sounds like a Michael Jackson song..... "people everywhere....sit down together...make the world a better place.... lol )

In that case maybe we should move ´coffee´ over to the ´What are you listening to?´ thread........

If you ever get a chance try some Cuban coffee...served in tiny cups.  I don´t drink caffeine typically, but several years ago in Miami had a couple of these.  I was up for 48 hours.....{#lang_emotions_razz}

We are having coffee with my student friends.

Some friends are having :

 

-Colombian/Brazilian blend

-Blue Mountain, Jamaica

-Turkish coffee

-Greek Coffee

-Cuban coffee

 

We have good movies while having coffees today.

1-“The Day The Earth Stood Still” , Starring Jennifer Connelly and  Keanu Reeves.This is an interesting film.”They are coming to save the earth from human.”

2-   "Yesterday´s Children”, Starring Jane Seymour.This is a wonderful film.”This is a tragic story about a  Irish family.”

Have you seen these movies?

I recommend!

reading this thread i literally got up (not minding my skinny bottom) and went to the kitchen to check the coffee i received two weeks ago. but since i dont drink hardly any coffee now almost two weeks nobody unpacked it and showed any interest in it.

its called dallmayr kaffee. and i quickly googled it. seems like a good coffee comparable to fortnum&mason. never heard of before.

 

i will try it as soon as i recover from my disgust to coffee

Enjoy your coffee.

A Turkish proverb:

"Bir fincan kahvenin kýrk yýllýk hatýrý vardýr"

"A cup of coffee commits one to forty years of friendship"

 I will be VERY careful about who I drink coffee with in future then!

TheAenigma , you are right.

But this Turkish proverb is about the really good and honest human in the past.

It is so hard to find good friends like them in the present time. 

You should see this new movie "The day The earth Stood Still" about the present human.

And you should see the film"Yesterday´s children" as well. Jane Seymour is a good actress.

My friend bought an espresso machine and was experimenting her own coffees. After drinking espressos everyday for a week, she couldn´t sleep for the next two...

 

I remember a few years ago when coffee beans that passed through the digestive system of a civet were all the rage. It was and still maybe about $150 per pound. I´ve never tried it. There´s just something really odd about drinking coffee that´s been collected from cat feces. Hmm...{#lang_emotions_puking}

This is just going to give thehandsom more ammunition in his (pathetic and ill-advised) attempt to close the Translation Lounge! {#lang_emotions_head_bang}
