Thread: Mornin’ cup o’ joe, mud, java or plain old coffee

Those at the meet enjoyed Ethiopian Harar light roast from the local roaster.

Run it through a Bunn drip. This is my fav coffee.

That coffee was fantastic Dave.
Absolutely delicious.

Here we usually do Starbucks French Roast whole bean dark. Rocket fuel...kinda

Pete <:-}

Daily grind for me and take it black. French press normally but pour over (cone filter) is a good cup of joe.
Just got back from a nice ride to the coffee shop (Peets) and picked up a pound of Guatemala San Sebastian. Should be a bit brighter than the Aged Sumatra we just finished up.

Yup, that's me. After home-roasting for some twelve years (hat-tip to Sweet Maria's), I decided to go "Old School" and opted for Eight O'clock Coffee's 100% Colombian Peaks (whole-bean, of course). I hand-grind three SCAA scoops every morning, then brew it in a Bodum Shin Bistro 4-cup press-pot, which is just enough for a 20-oz coffee mug (with sweetener and Half 'n Half).

My local supermarket (Publix) sells a variety of Eight O'clock blends -- some in 11oz bags, others in 24oz bags -- all at affordable prices (an 11oz bag of 100% Colombian Peaks costs me $6.60, and has enough for a week's-worth). They have "BOGOs" often enough that I'll stock-up on four, six, or eight.

Been home roasting around 15+ years now. I stock up at Sweet Maria's. I usually vary types every shipment. I usually buy 20lbs at a time and it lasts months. I brew in a ratio 8 which is an electric pour over.

Home roasted and freshly ground espresso for me:

Enjoying an AeroPress and coffee from a local roaster, Thomas Hammer: Costa Rican whole bean. I use a Lido-ET hand grinder and enjoy 2 cups each morning. Sadly, my KvdW Speedster sits in storage until hopefully some future date when I can get back to that wonderful espresso kit (Fiorenzato Doge 68mm conical for that one).

hi fellers i like some coffee at the weekend i use a stove top one thats enough for two cups i buy what is meant to be quality ground stuff sometimes it taste ok but mostly it all taste the same where am i going wrong any tips would be welcome because i would like to wake up on a saturday morning pour meself a coffee and think thats nice cheers fellers

Turkish coffee has been my go to lately, makes drip coffe seem anemic.

HERE is the coffee thread.

I type this with a fine cup of India coffee in front of me, black with a touch of sugar.

Now after seeing the Espresso............I'm off to fire up the Electra lever machine to really get me going

Been home roasting now for almost a year, just can't go back to my coffee any other way
