Coffee

[leejp]

If you really want good coffee, you have to buy green beans and roast them yourself. That's what my husband and I do. You can modify an old air style popcorn maker for this. A great source for coffee information is www.sweetmarias.com. That's where we purchase our beans from. Once you roast your own beans you will never go back. However you do need a better style coffee machine. The old Mr. coffee style drip machine will never do.

Do you have a Technivorm Mochameister as well?

No we have Gaggia. it grinds the beans then makes one cup at a time. Its awesome.

Yes Carl, I agree - it's hard to get good rum in the USA (and good beer for that matter!). That's why Canada is the only alternative choice!
I on the other hand, like to sit back with a nice hand rolled Cuban cigar and a Cuban Libre while watching the wildlife in my yard - I know what you're thinking - wasting that NICE rum watering it down with coke!!!
As for the Cuban Coffee - don't care that much for it - although my son loves the sugar packets I bring back for him - "best sugar in the world" he says!
