Good for you Lee, they say that the first step is the hardest so it should all be down hill from here :D. Seriously, you can do it.

This time of year it iced coffee for me. Folgers black silk 12oz, raw milk 12oz, concentrated stevia powder maybe a 1/8 teaspoon and lots of ice. Drink twice a day for entire summer.

I thought this little ditty was cute regarding coffee:   As I sat down one evening,
   was in a small café
A forty year old waitress to me
   these words did say

I see you that you are a logger
   and not just a common bum
'Cause nobody but a logger
   stirs his coffee with his thumb

My lover he was a logger,
   there's none like him today
Well if you'd pour whiskey on it
   well he'd eat a bale of hay

He never used a razor
   to shave his horny hide
He'd just drive them in with a hammer
   then he'd bite them off inside

My lover he came to see me
   was on a freezing day
He held me in a fond embrace
   that broke three vertebraes

Well he kissed me when we parted
   so hard that he broke my jaw
And I could not speak to tell him
   he forgot his mackinaw

I saw my lover leaving
   sauntering through the snow
Well going grimly homeward
   at forty eight below

Wll the weather tried to freeze him
   it tried its level best
At a hundred degrees below zero
   why, he buttoned up his vest

It froze clean through to China
   and it froze to the stars above
And at a thousand degrees below zero
   it froze my logger love

And so I lost my lover
   and to this café I come
And here I wait till someone
   stirs his coffee with his thumb

QuoteMr Coffee at the present but I have 4 Bunns needing seals in the garage plus a commercial Bunn .

I am still using a bun.  I have patched a few of them.  My uncle called them up and talked/griped at them cause you can't even buy that little washer that goes bad on all buns and so now he refuses to own one cause he says they know about the problim and it happens on all buns but they won't even make the part av availible.  I have patched a few of them with short term fixes.  I keep it on 24 hours a day. 

Magic, I can not speak for anyone else but no, I do not have revolving doors on my bathroom but I do have a pretty good patch of dead grass and when the wether is just right it pays to be standing up wind from it ;).

 I've cut back on my coffee usage, I make a 6 cup (half a typical coffee pot) but still use the same amount of coffee. I have a cup or 2 in the morning and call it good. I'm still on the Folgers black silk, columbian, or french roast. As always with a little milk or cream. I switch every time I buy it.
Today I tried some Yuban that a relative had brewed up today, with a splash of fresh Dexter milk it was pretty good. Nice for a change I guess. :)

I recently started taking my coffee with almond milk as I am trying to cut down on dairy and wow have I been missing out, it tastes much better. i also heard that the hazelnut kind is even creamier so I may give that a go as well

I am usually a "one cup" a day guy but with this cold weather it seemed appropriate to double my intake.   ;D

MM little embarassed to have a yeti there lol lol hey if its good and it works who gives a turkey..snap-on sells tools for crazy money but they work well, so many people buy em, same with wm.  Point is you pay for quality and I ain't gonna judge a man on a coffee mug come to think of it I'd have never known it was soo expensive unless it was brought to me attention.


I'm trying the salt in the grounds this morning.  Hoping that'll do it.

The excessive coffee caught up with me so switched to tea...whoa, the pain.  :-X So, try to only have coffee 1 or 2 days a week.

The Mrs. has tried to complicate coffee. It's a simple thing with zen-like qualities when kept at a basic level. First it was a K-cup machine--that ended up clogged, giving me 1/3 cup. She cleaned it, etc. blah blah--ended up sailing off the 2nd story balcony.

The next was a machine that "will do it all...". Place the beans in it with water and it will auto grind, shoot the coffee into a filterless contraption. Ended up clogging the grindings and overflowing and/or a pot full of grounds. It too sailed off the deck one early morning.  (can I even explain how much joy this gave me!)?  :D

Simplicity is where it's at for me in the matter: ground coffee, put scoops into personal size french press, let sit a few minutes, push handle down, pour--great taste, no BS, works EVERY single time. First experienced this at Egg Restaurant in Brooklyn...simple kinda place with great/wholesome food!

I still prefer my percolator and a stove top percolator even more than the electric. The stove top over a camp fire is another step ahead of that.

A french press is without a doubt my favorite, my 1 qt (single serving  ;D) press is a good friend indeed.  Also agree on ditching all the fancy machines.  Now the next trick is getting light roasted African beans into it.   I've got a good supplier of Kenyan AA and for the price it is a *DanG good wake up.  I have to stop about noon though and it is hard to find good decaf. 

Counter Culture (for all you coffee snobs) is the best I've had but at $18 for 12 oz it is an expensive cup.  I am not a fan of Columbian or Brazil but the CC East African coffees are the best ever and after 25 years of being a coffee fanatic I think I'm confident with that statement.

I had 1 measly arythmia episode (my wife got to watch them shock me) and now the heart docs want me off of caffeine!! No lead coffee don't taste right.  >:(

More often than not, 1 24 oz cup in the morning. I make it black, but if somebody comes in with a small one that has some milk or cream, I don't turn it down. I make the large one decaf. DanGdest thing, the caffeine does something with the medicine I take, and I don't feel right. Later in the day I can swing a hi-test or two
I believe in the hereafter, because every time I take two steps into the tool crib to get something I wonder " what did I come in here after"

If nothing else I'm always a good last resort or the guy to hold up as a bad example

K-cup coffee maker...When it gets stingy and makes 1/2 cup or less per brew,and the recommended de-scaling does no good,  here's a gotcha...pull the removable filter from the water container..Underneath is a round knob with 3 stainless phillips head screws. remove them and pull out the plastic knob. Inside that is a fine wire mesh filter, can't clean it without removing the assembly. Mine was badly clogged. Made a world of difference.

With this weather coming through today I just brewed me a cup and will feed the fire.  Matter of fact, later this morning I may very well brew me another cup.   :)
