I like mine strong/dark/rich....sometimes black and sometimes with a bit of Splenda and Vanilla creamer.
After 3pm? Pass the de-cafe please!
JAVA JIVE
(Manhattan Transfer, Ink Spots)
I love coffee, I love tea,
I love the Java Jive and it loves me
Coffee and tea and the java and me,
A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup, a cup!
I love java sweet and hot,
Whoops, Mister Moto, I'm a coffee pot
Shoot me the pot, and I'll pour me a shot,
A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup, a cup!
Oh slip me a slug from the wonderful mug
and I'll cut a rug 'til I'm snug in a jug
A slice of onion and a raw one,
Draw one!
Waiter, waiter, percolator!
I love coffee, I love tea,
I love the Java Jive and it loves me
Coffee and tea and the java and me,
A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup, a cup!
Boston beans (soy beans)
I said the little itty-bitty green bean
(cabbage n' greens)
You know that I'm not keen about a bean,
unless it is a chili chili bean! (Talk it, boy!)
I love java sweet and hot,
Whoops, Mister Moto, I'm a coffee pot (yeah)
You shoot me the pot, and I'll pour me a shot,
A cup, a cup, a cup, 'an dat zat bootle!
Blow me a slug from that wonderful mug
And I'll cut a rug that's snug in a jug
Drop a nickel in my pot - Joe
Takin' it slow
Waiter, waiter percolator
I love coffee, I love tea,
I love the Java Jive an' it loves me
Coffee and tea and the java and me
A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup - BOY!

I managed to find out some more solid information about the AL PACINO COLLECTION, which is now scheduled to be released April 24, 2007. It's a four-disc set, including his films LOOKING FOR RICHARD, CHINESE COFFEE, THE LOCAL STIGMATIC, and a fourth "bonus" disc containing something called "Babblelonia", which may be an interview, and some other extras. I hope this actually happens, because I'd love to have RICHARD on dvd.
Also, I just picked up a book of conversations between Pacino and Lawrence Sobel that looks to be a fairly good overview of the actor's career. I love Al.
Finally obtained the 4-DVD set, just so I could see CHINESE COFFEE at long last! It's a very talky piece (referred to as a two-hander??). Tended to drag a bit toward the end, but the occasional flashback helped to maintain one's attention. Elmer Bernstein's music was low-key, low-volume, flitting in and out from time to time.
Most interesting was watching the film again with Mr Pacino's commentary. Near the end he finally mentions Elmer, referring to him as "the sweetest man in the world" and "what a wonderful person, he did this film for nothing". Nice one, Al.

What a nice off-topic!
Coincidentally, I just listened today to Bob Dylan's "Theme Time Radio Hour" that was devoted to coffee and listened to quite a few of the great songs you guys mentioned above. For an interesting coffee-travelogue, I'd recommend "The Devil's Cup" by Stewart Lee Allen. He follows the coffee trail from its origins in the highland forests of Ethiopia all the way through Arabia, Turkey, Europe, and, finally, the U.S.A., where he sets out to find the worst cup of coffee ever.
The most expensive coffee is supposed to be Kopi Luwak, which gets its special flavour due to the fact that the coffee berry has passed the intestines of a civet cat. The price has dropped considerably though, probably because the Indonesians industrialized the endeavour, not picking up cat droppings in their plantantions any longer, but by catching the poor civets and make them eat coffee beans all day long.
For people with some knowledge of the German language, and a taste for European Amateur Nouvelle Vague Film Noir Monster Thrillers, here's a film I did about this special coffee with my best friends while being on vacation at the lovely Côte d'Azur last summer.

Coffee Gates:
1/2 oz. Grand Marnier orange flavored liqeuer
1/2 oz. Tia Maria coffee liquer
1/2 oz. dark creme de cacao
tastes like one of those chocolate-covered orange stick candies you can get. and if you don't know what those are...you're missing out.
besides black coffee (dark roasted ones or smoked ones are fav.) I enjoy coffe with liquer late at night.
amaretto, 15 year old schottisch wisky, tia maria, cointreau, grand marnier, baily's...
some whipped cream on top...!!
