For Mrs. Delicious it would be some designer ground coffee with a flavor added like caramel. brewed at medium strength in a french press with some dark chocolate coconut milk added. For me it would be coffee freshly ground at home from a better grade of bean or bean blend (Dutch blends are great but from where do they get their beans?) with no other flavor added also brewed extra strong in a french press with a little milk or soy or almond milk added. Not a fan of Sumatran beans.
So we have heard that Dutch blends are mostly from Indonesian beans and Sumatra is in Indonesia but the two experiences are night and day. Any coffee experts? What is the secret to a Dutch blend?
Organic medium roast coffee beans, ground fresh immediately before adding hot water in a hand grinder with ceramic blades, pressed thru an Aeropress with a little Silk French Vanilla soy creamer and cinnamon added.
Or an extra shot mocha, no whip from Sips (THE best drive thru coffee shop in the entire fucking world!)
We're mocha snobs and have literally had them all over the U.S. and many foreign countries and nothing even comes close to Matt's blend of premium chocolate, steamed milk and premium espresso and coffee. Our special treat every Sunday morning to sit on the porch and watch the Mormons trudge off to church.

Monster Rehab! I like my caffeine cold.
Dutch blend has marijuana in it, duh!

Cool groovy beans plus cannabis then! Well that explains it.
We have used fresh ground organic coffee beans mixed with fresh ground organic cocoa beans brewed in a french press. Wonderful and a mixture that screams for real cream.
www.coffeefool.com is where I get most of my coffee. I like the Zack Larson's Brew and put it in my french press. Check it out they have all different kinds and grinds.

Interesting site. Thank you.
French press is SO 2000's. Try an Aeropress and you'll never go back. Yes it uses paper filters (you can buy reusable stainless steel ones) but they take out the cafestol which purportedly raises LDL...but others say that cafestol helps prevent Parkinson's. The only downside to the Aeropress is it's much smaller so you can't make as much all at once. We share an extra large mug every morning so it's perfect for us. Takes less time than a French press as it steeps for less time because it uses air pressure to help extract the flavor from the beans.
Oh, and I forgot, we also put in a small amount of Crio Bru with the fresh ground coffee beans. Where do you buy whole organic cocoa beans?

Sometimes they have them at the Cafe in the Dancing Crane or at Millcreek Coffee Roasters.
Oh please Evil Doers, you're stuck in the 90's if you're still thinking about only coffee and beverages for caffeine

Caffeine Powder! You could caffeinate steak! Ice cream! Kale! CAFFEINATED KALE. Yum. But don't go doing that before you read this: Web MD's Caffeine Powder FAQ
Crio Bru sells these: Chocolate Covered Cocoa Beans I imagine they'd start selling them plain to you if you asked nicely

We both have pretty low LDLs so we are not too worried about cafestol. How is the flavor compared to a french press? If we keep our carbohydrate consumption low it seems are HDLs go up are LDLs go down and pretty much every other number on our health screens hit optimal levels. Processed foods seem to be bad for the both of us to some degree but more so for Mrs. Delicious. It makes our food consumption mostly organic and fresh as possible and unfortunately kind of expensive.
Compared to a French press the flavor is the same but MUCH smoother and absolutely zero bitterness. Now I realize some people actually like the bitterness but we find we use less additions (sugar, cream, whatever) with Aeropress coffee because it's so rich and smooth. We've had the Crio Bru chocolate covered cocoa beans. Might add a few in the next batch. Also found several places online, including Amazon, where I can order them. So is coffee kosher (halal?) on your paleo diet?
Mrs. Delicious is a bit closer to paleolithic as in never a potato or a grain or any dairy or sugar (She uses some honey) or legumes of any kind (coffee is actually a seed) and really down to almost no alcohol at all but then she has negative reactions to most lectins. I really do not seem to have a the same sort of negative reaction to most of those things but too many carbohydrates do seem to have some effect on me so we mostly eat vegetables, yams, nuts fish poultry and meats and all organic. I can assimilate whey protein or pea and rice protein or any kind of protein so really I could get away with being a lacto-vegetarian or even a vegan and be healthy but she can't. We eat mostly around her needs.
Mrs Classypassion loves her coffee. However, when she takes caffeine in the form of Monster with tequila...great things happen!

Mrs will say yuck to the coffee but for me its just plain ol coffee and a raspberry/chocolate creamer, or almondjoy creamer.
Takes to long to make it the other way, taste is good but takes to long to make the amount I want to drink.and Starbucks will never get a dime from me.lol the girly coffee and myself dont see eye to eye, no foam or latee for me.just plain ol coffee by the gallon.
Damn!!! Someone already said coffee enema!!!!

Weasel (kopi Lusaka) coffee from Vietnam brewed in a stainless single cup coffee filter. Wonderful rich mocha flavor, very smooth. Sells for about $90 for 1/2 pound on internet, can be bought on the street in Hanoi for less.
The Mrs. doesn't like coffee or any other form of caffeine that I can think of save for the occasional migraine meds. I on the other hand pretty much survive on coffee. Not to picky as long as I get to grind the beans fresh every morning. I did pick up some 100% Kona beans while in Hawaii and I must say that if I could find a way to get them local and fresh they would be worth the cost.

My favorite caffeine delivery system is a vente mocha triple shot before 7 am.
This will be extremely disappointing to the coffee aficionados, but my delivery system is a spoon. A little 1/16th tsp spoon. I dip it in the 200gm bag of lab grade caffeine I got from Amazon and then dump it in my mouth, or whatever I'm drinking....
Works great, but not as stylish, for sure

Okay so the very day you posted this Mrs. Delicious went out and had to get an Aeropress. We watched a bunch of videos as to how to use it. We did the taste test thing and after now using both we think the Aeropress works well if you want a more concentrated cup of coffee where you are adding some kind of milk be it cow, soy, almond whatever as a substantial portion of the liquid in the cup the clean up is easier and the coffee is more filtered. The advantage to our rather large french press is that you can make more and if you like a less filtered, stronger flavored cup of coffee, where you might have a few grounds at the bottom of the cup with just a splash of milk of some kind it makes a better brew. Mrs. Delicious is mostly using the Aeropress and I am using the french press. We both like using both systems.
We used our FP for years. Our son bought Ms. Evil an AP for her b-day a few years ago. We used it for about 6 months and then just for shits and giggles tried a pot of our fav fresh ground beans in the FP. Could definitely taste a big difference. I think for us it boils down to a smoother coffee that we don't have to use as much creamer or sweetener in. And yes you have to add more hot water after you press it or it will be EXTREMELY concentrated. We typically add about twice as much extra hot water as the amount that comes out of the AP. Happy belated International Coffee Day to all of our fellow bean heads.
How about 10mg/kg IV Caffine citrate. Just saying quick and easy.
Does it taste like a rich full bodied Kona or a robust Colombian dark roast? Then nope! 
We LOVE COFFEE!! B&B, SL Coffee Break and Kafeneio is our favorite places. Sounds like we should plan a Coffee date.
