Flavored coffee is in fact a hanging offense .

It all depends on the percentage of gay folks in your office staff.

thats what I like about this place - everyone is so subtle

Chuck Wagon rule #2 - right after Cookie is always right, in charge, and God.
Nothing goes into the camp (office) coffee pot but grounds, eggs and water (preferably clean water, but that is not a deal breaker). Sub rule 2a goes onto how often the pot shall be washed - Rarely if ever.
Flavorings ... Did they taste at all like buffalo chips or cow pies? If not ... ROPE !!!

I was being nice because it was the first offence.

Coffee already has a flavor!
HANG 'EM!

I must have a couple in my house, as there is all sorts of coffee flavorings in the fridge. And no, they ain't mine!
-
Two things.
One, its not a hanging offence IF, IF, they wash the pot and filter holder and wipe the grinder. If not, Get A Rope!
Two let me suggest a Keurig coffee maker. My old reliable drip maker died a few weeks ago. Penny's had the big Keurig on sale for $80 bucks. I will never go back.
It uses these individual serving coffee containers. Pop one in, and you've got a cup of coffee (3 size settings to adjust for strength) in 30 seconds. It goes right into your cup. No carafe, no burner to forget to turn off, no burnt coffee, no grounds to make a mess and nothing to clean but wiping out where the "K-cup container" fits with a dry paper towl. I'd avoided buying one because I thought your selection was limited. BS, there are over two hundred varieties of coffee tea and hot choclate from two dozen different companies (Green Mt., Gloria Jean, Tullys, Folgers, Bigelow, etc.). You can't beat it particularly if you are in an office. Just buy a few big variety packs from Sams or BJs and every one gets what they want with no mess, smell or squabbling. You can't beat this thing with a stick.

depends on whether it's flavored with whiskey, rum or any other acceptable coffee flavoring.. anything else deserves an old greasy manila rope to hang 'em with. or if you're just spiteful, buy some new manila and shave off some fibers to put down their necks. that sh!t itches!!!!!
hell today's flavor was pisco. (it's a Peruvian brandy). ;D

Burn 'em at the stake for their blasphemy!!! If they want to sin against man, tell them to do it in their own mug.
And coffee and booze shouldn't be mixed, they're companion drinks to be enjoyed back to back. You can get a little coffee flavor in you bourbon if you drink at work out of you coffee mug.

The only thing worse than flavored coffee in the regular pot is decaf in the regular pot—that's just evil.
I would be careful about posting about coffee additives of the alcoholic kind—the FDA might come after you for producing an alcoholic "energy" drink. ;D

If they do that, they'll have to come after me for putting lime in my tequila (or gin) as a "health drink claiming to cure scurvy". ;D

When the Cider is ready, take a healthy amount, freeze it to slush, strain out the ice, what's left is "Apple jack".
Think Apple vodka.

Which, when mixed with real butter, salt, pepper, and several other spices makes a great mopping sauce for smoking pork.

FQ's single serve coffee maker may be the only acceptable way to make hazelnut creaming Irish faggy froo-froo French weenie rainbow-flagged coffee. But both the machine and the individual serving-cups are too expensive for what you get. And, in my admittedly limited experience with these devices, even the un-sullied pure coffee versions available as single-serve are not as good as I can brew at home in my $15 Black and Decker Power Pot with some freshly ground beans.
AND, since the awful, perfumed residual aroma of those nasty flavored brews tends to stick around in both pot and cup even after diligent washing... I'd say let's look for the proper tree and a length of strong rope.
Offered by Crusader, a proud traditionalist when it comes to coffee.

Fresh ground beans lose flavor after 12 hours.
Fresh roasted beans lose flavor after about a week.
I roast green coffee beans to the "darkness" I prefer for that particular bean. I roast enough for about a week and grind what I will use each day that morning.
The characteristics of green beans will change after maybe two years. They don't go bad or acquire a poor flavor, just a different flavor.

So, to me, possession of flavored or decaf (Medical Exemption accepted) coffee in any form with the intent to brew is a capital offense. Evening thinking about it is getting borderline...but it's a free country....what can you do?
If you want your coffee flavored, pour something in it after it is brewed...like Bailey's or Bushmills.

Crusader
Trying to get the Tom award for Miss Congeniality? ;D I wil have you know that only "Irish faggy coffee" I've ever imbibed has been laden with Baileys and Bushmills and served by a gay bartender. ;D As to the single serving thing, it has three advantages.
No Mess
A fresh cup every time
And if there's more than one person? Brew what you want. No arguments or compromises over what roast, or caffinated versus decaf etc.
As far as taste, yeah I can do better if I spend $15 a pound from Peets. But as far as what I can buy locally? Its just as good. It comes to about $.30 per cup if I buy in bulk. I won't complain at that price since it hasn't been sitting on the burner for an hour.

You can get "My Cups" for Krupps style single shots. They are used in place of the K-cups and can be filled with the fresh ground coffee of your choice. Not as good as a french press or vacuum brewer, but quick (after you have loaded the days worth of cartridges) and tolerable. They are plastic and the tabs that hold the lids on can break off, so they are not the ideal solution.

This is what you get at my house. REALLY good coffee flavored coffee. Although I will add that this stuff is like crack in a bean. Pour in a little Irish Cream (the alcoholic kind) and whoa baby! You can get smashed and still be vibrating. ;D

:) There's a novel idea! Coffee flavored coffee. That's my favorite too! The stronger the better. After drinking coffee in Italy and Spain, I like a good strong coffee flavor and the ass whoopin' that goes with it.
-
Let's be perfectly clear:
I don't drink it because I like it, I drink it because I need it. ;D
Cowboy coffee in Canada, coffee with dates in the Gulf, coal tar bottoms in Romania, Dunkin Donuts stuff here in the USA.
Just give me the stinken mug in the morning and shut up till I'm done.

I buy from a local source here in Peru. they roast their own and if you want they will grind it for you, coarse, fine, whatever. good stuff. the best I've had though, came from Mombasa Kenya, fresh roasted, full body (strong) and REALLY tasty. Peru is a close second. maybe with a touch of amaretto and whiskey for the extra mmmmmmmmhhh. oh yeah, I use a french press just so I can get ALL the flavor out of the coffee grounds.

Fresh beans, ground right before brewing and a COFFEE press with approximately 205 degree water! I can't find a decent coffee place here so I've been buying "Peets" from the market. Pretty good brew, I leave the house every day with my go-cup and a industrial thermos filled to the top. It lasts most of the day...
(using the F word pisses me off, there is not proof they invented it...)

I agree, though had I just said 'press' many would scratch their heads and get confused. (the fru-fru croud) but pressing coffee is a good way to get all the flavor from the grounds (other than campfire coffee) ;D
I think it's time for another cup.....

-
If you haven't done so, check out vacuum brewing. As does pressing, it mixes all the water with all the coffee at the same time and a good brewer will have less grounds in the coffee cup (not that grounds are a bad thing) and you will feel like Mr. Science when you use it.
Pretty neat to see and hear the steam "percolating" through the water/coffee mix before the heat is removed.

I like my free coffeemaker from Gevalia. IMHO their coffee is quite good. It tastes great black. I can't say that about the coffee I used to get at the store. I like every kind I've tried except the flavored coffee. I like coffee flavor better. I'm currently on Costa Rican peaberry. Next is Kenyan. I'm going in alphabetical order. :)

I don't know about that. In my experience Kenyan is a little thin, lacks substance and is kind of winey. The last time I ordered Kenyan? It didn't work out so good. :-[ ;D

Yes. It is a hanging offense...but not with rope, use barbed wire.

I don't care for any of them except the chocolate ones , but I have to KNOW IT, since I drink my plain coffee black, but the flavored ones NEED cream/milk and sugar.
that being said, take one of those single serving packets of instant coffee (Sanka gives the best flavor but lacks the caffeine )and mix it with instant Hot chocolate mix. (No marshmallows, I made that mistake once ) If you need to stay awake it's double the caffeine with out souring your stomach with the acid of straight coffee.
-
Let's set the record straight here - I am personally banned from most modern coffee places. In fact, most Starbucks in the midwest have posters, like the old west wanted posters, with my picture and stating that I am not welcome ;D
I have been known to get a little loud when I need to repeat for the forth time that "all I want is a cup of black coffee!" At repeat number five pimple boy behind the counter will hear the proper pronunciation of the "F" word ... "All I want is a f'en large cup of plain black coffee!"
Even Micky D's has gone to offering frappie crappie when all you need is hot black caffine :'(

I make my coffee a bit stronger than most folks.
I serve it by the slice.
Would anyone care for another slice of coffee?

Now that's funny! And potentially profitable. I can see a good coffe shop doing it. A hot slice of coffe with a scoop of butter pecan. I'd try it. ;D Of course I also love dark chocolate espresso beans.

It balances the sweetness of the chocolate. Bitter and sweet and a good handful =enough caffiene and sugar to keep right on going. I'm honestly surprised the DOD hasn't commisioned something like them with an M@Ms type no melt shell to stick in with MREs for dessert.
