Thanks Guys !
Now I've got something else to get twitchy about.
I still have nightmares about running out of solder - thanks to when it happened to Mark F.
No coffee would be world war 3.
If I don't have coffee within 5 minutes of getting up in the morning...
Let's just say I'm not nice.
And I only have 1 backup coffee maker.
Stress.
Coffee is one of my last vices & I'm keeping it.
Or Else!

What a tart. Ah well.
One of the better tour managers I worked with had something similar: your 'blues artist' name is your grandparent's pet plus your elementary school principal's last name. For me that would be Bozo Noyes. PERFECT ! ! ! Who could forget that. Appearing soon in a blues dive near you... on steel appendage guitar. :cool:

I have a little Moka... they are fast and efficient, which can't be said for the countertop pump espresso machines. What a PITA they are.

Here's an old-school Chemex.

That is cute.

I resorted to a backup press rig. I feel like I am living in ye olde west(e?). I treated myself to almost an hour of waiting for water to boil today.

I'll just mention the convenience of percolators once again. Strong coffee, coarse grind, quick, cheap, and simple.

Nope! Starbucks need a bikini wax.

I used to be late night security for the Starbucks next to the studio, then they stopped liking guns, so I stopped having coffee there.

Thanks for nothing!! :)

Went to Costco and got a 14 cup Cuisinart. No runs, no drips or overflows so far, so I'm reasonably happy. And since it has 14 cup (i.e. read 8) capacity, we both get our three cups and there's a little leftover for emergencies or guests.
We have the same coffee machine.
Works great and is fast and efficient, something most lack.

We grind our own beans for each pot (French Roast), so they won't get stale.

Be sure to replace the water filter regularly.
We forgot about that and when we finally checked it my wife about fainted. :shock:

Too bad you missed the topless donut shoppes (coffee too) Ft. Lauderdale - Miami area @ 25 years ago. Grammar sticklers: it wasn't the donuts that were topless. :shock: You bet Dunkin' wasn't happy, probably their opposition got 'em shut down after a year or 2.

Heavily attended by police, hey whatcha expect? It's donuts! Gotta keep people safe ya know.

Bikini Café 29 - what's old is new again. Almost... Sort of Hooters with a short menu and no booze.
