hehe!
We had a 26 hour power failure last fri/saturday - I was going to crank up the genny at 6 am saturday to brew a pot, then decided it might be more neighbour friendly (it hooks up 40 feet from their bedroom) if i just drove the 15 minutes to our closest Tim Horton's and got a couple of extra extra larges - total bill came to 3 bucks and 20 in gas!!!! Was worth it though, nothing like rippin up the unpaved backroads drifting through winding turns, windows down, sunroof open, favorite tunes cranked!
If you like American style coffee, try a vacuum brewer and you'll never use a drip brewer again. You can also make great coffee with a press pot. Since obtaining a La Pavoni espresso maker though, I rarely use anything else.
Likewise, roasting the beans yourself makes a huge difference in the quality of the finished product and is pretty darned economical as well.
Sure! What's your point??Quote:

There's also cold-extraction coffee--super-smooth, but uses far too much coffee for what you get.
I mess with the coffee, my wife brains me! So I stick with a GOOD drip pot.
CarlD's other signature line...
Stay ahead of your coffee!
Take 2 to 5 minutes every day for java maintenance!

Oh, NO!....Richard would RUIN the coffee. Unlike pool care, GREAT coffee requires a little magic and secret rituals!Quote:

Either I make great coffee, OR I'M BEING HAD!:confused:;):rolleyes:
I heard somewhere if you put a little salt in with your grinds your coffee will be more mellow. Anyone heard the same?
yup. It's an old trick. Never seems to do much to my coffee so I don't bother.Quote:

Good coffee, good water, good measurements, good filters and a good machine make good coffee.
