Coffee
From Adam Hanson's Tour blog on cyclingnews.com: "The biggest problem so far is we had the coffee machine break in the bus. Someone, we don't know who exactly, put water where the coffee beans are supposed to go. We had two days without a coffee machine!"
Same thing happened to us at home. Someone, I don't know who exactly (had to be a) my wife, b) the cat) did the same thing to our Jura Capresso machine. Fortunately, it's fixed now.
Boy, I love coffee.
I had a cup mid-ride today in 90+F weather. The Starbucks cans of double shot espresso, light, is the best mid-ride.

Amen; my $27 Mr Coffee espresso machine makes just as good espresso as my friends $450 dollar one. I made him a shot of mine and he thought it came from a expensive machine like his till I showed it to him...he was a tad pissed when he found out!

I hate coffee. Just give me water, whole chocolate milk, or orange juice.
Beer now and then.

All that's needed for great coffee. A great grinder is the only must.
