Oh I'm sure a whole chapter could be devoted to this. And most of it could be devoted to the "gourmet" varieties that are left smoldering on hot-plates for hours while everyone just pours the standard brew. After all, coffee is like any fast food - high turnover is the key.
But I'm thinking back to our recipe for "pancake batter" back when we were about twenty and felt like partying all night back in the days before crystal meth. The ingredients are a large cup, coffee, a couple packets of cappucino mix, and a few of those flavored creamers. Now the flavored creamers are an insult to anybody who enjoys black coffee, but we were looking for candy, not coffee.
The end result was really best described as maple syrup. So I don't know why we called it pancake batter and not pancake syrup.

Seems everything has gone gourmet. And though there is something to be said for the poetry in wine, coffee has a different poetry. Bad coffee, especially. It's that special horrid flavor that sticks in your mind for years, till you think back to that day you pulled an all nighter and thought you were getting an ulcer. This blog is devoted to that unsung hero, the bad cup of coffee.
