My wife got me some "Savannah Seduction" from Paula's Dean's line. It has a "French Vanilla" flavor to it.
As a full time student, I can only find employment in the summer months. Therefore, I've been using my stove top espresso maker to make some quick shots to get me out the door. Yes, it lacks sophistication, but I'll do just about anything to beat the rush hour traffic!
a rusty nail (1/2 Johnie Walker red and half Drambuie)
Very updosed double cappuccino from El Salvador Matalapa.
The green is quite aged, and the circuit that the roaster was on the last time I roasted (since moving) was weaker than expected. This means slower roasting, even during the summer. This also means slower cooling. It's almost like I was working with an Alpenroast. Little to no control.

Columbia Finca Buenavista - Carlos Imbachi microlot. Very nice cup, with some interesting tropical fruit and hazelnuts. Very sweet coffee.

Some excellent Mexico Chiapas, the last of my stash from early last year. It has been vacuum packed, but is slowly losing its character. Still an excellent cup, though.
Kenya Kariana. Its getting to be "that time of the year" when the good new Kenyas start coming available.
Black coffee...hot strong and wet! 
It's definitely "that time of year" when I need to restock on my green. Now to work it into the budget somehow.
Freshly roasted Idido Misty Valley. Meh again.
In Seattle for the day, so naturally a fern-adorned latte from Espresso Vivace's new location on Broadway.

Double shots of a 50/50 mix of Brazil Ipanema tree dried and Uganda Bugisu. Complex tasting shot, and delicious.
Gunpowder and a pinch of lemongrass.
Costa Rica Lourdes de Naranjo Genesis. This is a nice acidic Central that was sold in two-pound/customer lots.
Genmaicha (does that count?) 
Gevalia - By Appointment to His Majesty, the King of Sweden.
