MY COFFEE MAKER BROKE

[skyboltone]

Just drink a bottle of Pappy Van Winkle the night before. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pappy_Van_ ... ly_Reserve You won't give a s**t who ate it first.

My old friend Jim Weider's Project Percolator will wake up your ears:

whether you like coffee or not.

Very cool site!

I enjoyed listening to some of Jim's work.

My kind of instrumentals.

When I am at a friends and they ask me if I would like a cup of coffee and I see a can of Folgers on the counter, I politely decline.

I hate to be a coffee snob but after grinding my own beans for 30+ years I just can't do canned coffee anymore.

I like a dark roasted bean usually from Costa Rica or Guatemala.

I don't like Colombian beans at all.

That don't sound like a coffee snob at all.
I never you was so fancy and complex

I like fancy coffee too but we just get whatever cheap.

[Structo]

Yes, I will confess to buying the beans at Costco.

So not too fancy.

We're on a low budget . . . With that old Kinks chestnut in mind, there's cheap and there's ... awful. Tried a can of Martinson a couple years back. First taste - I must have done something wrong. Second try - down the sink & threw the rest of the grounds into the garden, let the earthworms have it. Just dreadful.

Maxwell, Folgers, supermarket house brands, I can make any of em work but the top of the budget heap is still Chock Full o Nuts. Even my 93-year old neighbor agrees. I just got him the giant economy size can. That's what keeps him going.

One really good coffee I've had down South is Royal Cup. After asking my Dixie friends for years and hearing they never saw it in the market, I found the answer. It's sold only to restaurants and hotels. So if you have a connection - I'd say check it out.

Then, there are the Mexican brands. Ay, chihuahua! What's Spanish for "where's my donut?"

Hah! I thought you were going for an alternative to civet-processed coffee!

[johnnyreece]

Eh, any coffee I drink has more "other stuff" than coffee in it...From the looks of this thread, it's just as well.

I loved drinking those Monster Energy drinks, but now, a couple hours after drinking one, I want to yak. So tasty, but not worth it anymore. I think I'm officially getting old. Lunch can never be as simple as a bag of Grippo's and a Monster again.

If someone doesn't intervene I am going to be in real trouble soon. I am up to a pot and a half per cup with this press and 4 watched pots of boiling water a day.

I was making Americanos. now I call them Heisenbergs.

Bitches, I'm cooking, yo.

Adding pots is not the solution. Watched pots never boil (no matter how many). That's why the water can't be seen in most percolators and drip-coffee makers. It has something to do with physics, or the paranormal ..... maybe both.

Wait 'till after the Holidays.....or the Superbowl.......or maybe Memorial Day. You know how those spring parties go. You can always cut back.

[Reeltarded]

Ahh I see. Yes. Something to resolve against. I picked the wrong week to stop sniffling glue.

[John_P_WI]

Surely you're joking....

[Zippy]

Ahh I see. Yes. Something to resolve against. I picked the wrong week to stop sniffling glue.

Careful, they don't call it Crazy Glue for nothing. That stuff'll make your nose hairs fall out.

If you build your own amps, you can get just as serious about coffee and roast your own:

I haven't built an amp lately because the Hot Top I just bought blew a hole in my amp budget.
