We Thought You’d Never Ask!
We have a Senseo machine at the office and we make one cup of our BRK Raspberry Latte at a time. Wash the cup between drinks, folks. Don’t be a slob.
And find the kitchen sink in your work-place, college, prison, whatever. Washing dishes in the bathroom is beyond disgusting.
Senseo Dark Roast pods, we believe, make coffee that stands up to the raspberry syrup best and allows you to have a raspberry-flavored coffee instead of coffee-flavored raspberry.
We have raided many a Starbucks in search of the original raspberry syrup. The new Juicy Raspberry makes us ill. We haven’t had to purchase it from eBay yet because we’ve found Barney’s raspberry to be a suitable substitute.
You’ll need 1/3 cup of skim milk from cows raised free from growth hormone. Are the hormones bad? We’re not going to get into that argument, but we do taste a difference when we drink straight from the bottle… we mean, when we pour a straight glass. Our favorite milk is, of course TG Lee fat-free.
Microwave your cup of milk for one minute on high.
Fire up the Senseo machine, pop in your dark roast pod and make one Regular cup, letting the coffee flow into the “steamed” milk.
What is a Regular cup? With a Senseo machine you can use one or two pods and make 8 or 16 oz of coffee. The more water, the weaker the coffee. The more pods, the stronger the coffee. The matrix looks thus:
Weak: 1 pod and 16 oz of water
Regular: 1 pod and 8 oz of water (BRK-style)
Lots of Regular: 2 pods and 16 oz of water (If you need two cups of Regular)
Strong: 2 pods and 8 oz of water
Once the brewing cycle ends, add two TBSP of raspberry syrup. Stir, relax, write a blog post.

/bind on equip?….
1 bag slot for the machine, 2 for the water, 2 more for the milk, another for the pods, and 1 for the cup..
and where are those pods from anyway, Zangermarsh?..
not a lot of bag space left, I hope Hobbes drinks that stuff too…
I just wanna be there when the goblin coffee maker explodes…
Totally agree with ya, BRK. I used to work for bucks of the stars, and my fav to this day is a raspberry-vanilla combo/permutation/amalgamation that I have to special order everytime I go. The clerks give me funny looks until I explain that I used to work there.
Anyway, yeah. The new juicy makes me want to do unsavory things to the espresso beans. Blech. If I want candy I’ll buy a fruit mentos.
BRK, have you tried the coffee from a Tassimo or Keurig brand single serve coffee machine? I own a tassimo, but work for a retailer that has demo’d both.
I have found the coffee to be excellent, and very strong, flavorful varieties are available.
I do need to try this raspberry syrup though.
omg… what has happened.. next think it’s gonna be what seat cushions you use…
/sigh
Are you mourning the lack of a patch on maintenance day BRK? Is that why we’re getting these posts? I know I’m saddened by the lack of new goodies for me to play with.
Dude, there is always room for coffee
@ franks
not when it’s fruit-flavored…
/shudder…
hazelnut is bad enough.
What the h3ll is a coffee ‘pod’..?!

Coffee pod.
Raspberry Latte? Aren’t you a Hunter? That sounds like something a Druid would drink…
Druids drink tea. Weak, herbal tea. Please.

The GF is one of those coffee people from another planet drinking an iced venty sugar free vanilla nonfat upside down latte. Not sure what the heck all that is, but I was never good with foreign languages. Not sure what coffee has to do with our vent server either …
I think it’s great you are getting in touch with your feminine side with your sweet drink then prancing off to blog with your kitty.
When you are ready to man up, get yourself a vacuum coffee maker. Use Peet’s coffee. Drink it black so you can TASTE the coffee.
On second thought, stick with your drink. It’s been working so far….BRK rocks!
I almost liked you, anonymous.
Almost.
@anon
right on! Out on the WC, the best thing going is the coffee from Trader Joe’s. Volcano blend is great, dark Sumatra is great too.
But really.. Starbucks coffee?.. tastes like something that was passed through my boar first. There’s a reason that flavored coffees are so popular at Starbucks, it’s the only way to drink their coffee.
Coffee from a pod? Yech.
Buy whole bean and grind your own. Then get back to me.
Patch Days Blow!

Whole Beans or Nothing Batman!!! ©
But rasberry Mocha sounds good too, though I am having a hard time finding a place that uses Dark Chocolate for the mocha, milk chocolate blows!!
Lattes FTW
p.s. and no I am not gay, have 4 kids and a lovely wife.
Worst. Blog-post. Ever.

Please get back to hunter craft. Pretty please?

All this over a drink, coffee at that. Now if this were a Dublin Dr. Pepper that I could understand.
/curse BRK
/stares at Iced Mocha sitting on desk
It sucks having Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf downstairs sometimes. No raspberry there though, or whiskey for that matter.

Who in the blue blazes grinds coffee in their office? The whole point of the pods is to eliminate mess. BRK no like-a da mess!
