Vanilla - so that's what it was! Thank you. Coffee's ready - here you are. Sugar & milk on the tray if you need them.

Jeremy? Jeremy - get your head out of the bucket!

Coffee? can i have some? early mnornings dont agree with me!

Thank you. Oh, no sugar - it's the white death.
*smells*
It's the best scent I know. Fresh coffee gives life almost a new meaning.
btw I happened to see Monty Pythons Meaning of Life on TV last night. One of my favourites.

Yes ... *almost tempted away from alcohol* Well, there's plenty in the pot - here you are , Hezher - a cup for you.
*puts a choc. mint in the saucer*

*with his head still in the bucket*

I knew that I couldn't drown. Somebody was about to brew some excellent coffee, and the heat made all the water disappear.

Can I have some, too, please? Preferably with at least 3 spoons of white death!

*gets his head out of the bucket*

Here you are. But be careful with sugar.
Nice to see you still alive

All this coffee is very healthy .... but I think my liver is starting to complain ...

Why, too little alcohol in the coffee?

... or too much coffee in your alcohol?

Too little? None at all! Any more coffee and I might wake up. Last time I looked at the world without an alcohol filter, I did not like what I saw ...

That's exactly my point of view:

Reality is just an illusion, caused by lack of alcohol.

If your coffee is too strong, just thin it with some brandy, grappa, whisk(e)y. Never use water internally. It's only good for cleaning and for the breeeding of .

*Adds brandy, grappa and whisky to coffee*

*walks in after being away for awhile.* Hi guys I'll take a cup of coffee if your serving *starts to clean up the mess left around*

*Pours coffee*

Do you want some alcohol in that?

I can tell you of one thing I have learned in Italy: Don't pour grappa into your espresso. Just drink your espresso and pour the grappa in the (still warm) empty espresso cup. The heat of the cup will enhance the aroma of the grappa, and, as a side effect, the cup will be clean afterwards.

I have tried it many times, believe me, it's great.

Ah, by the way, can I have a of espresso and a Y of grappa, please?

Thanks for the coffee Hez I'm all set with the alcohol for now

*hands of espresso and Y of grappa to Jeremy*

*sips his espresso with a delighted look in his face*

That's an excellent brew, Courtney, thanks a lot!

*looks into his emty espresso cup finding the rests of the "crema" of the espresso sticking to the china. After having poured his grappa into the hot cup, he swivels it gently, causing the grappa and the leftovers of the espresso to mix to a tepid drink, which he drinks slowly*

I know, that looks kind of disgusting, but it's the only real way to combine espresso and grappa.

The last time I drank grappa I don't remember what happened. I told after you should not drink it in excess

Hmmmmm...... Is "Irish Coffee" really from Ireland? And could someone please mix me up a very lage one, please?

This is most excellent sherry... '51, is it?
