I wasn't aware of the CO2 thing for a long time. I always store my coffee under vacuum seal since I'm the only coffee drinker in the house. I'd see the bag go slack and think that the seal was compromised. No. It was the CO2 released that undermined the vacuum seal.Quote:

We have a local coffee company here in my small town called Baden coffee company. One of my favorites is their Snickeroo flavored coffee. The aroma is magnificent! Coffee and snickers bars all in one.

Just finished my shave. sitting at the computer with my morning joy. Latte Machiato. Medium roasted Hilo,Yergh,Siddamo, A very smooth and caramelly drink. I dump the shot into the stretched milk rather than the other way around. Full flavored that way and no cooling of the shot.

Sounds like a great cup of Carpenters nectar Geezer! I'm doing things opposite of you this morning. My girls woke up early today, had breakfast and now I'm sitting drinking my Snickeroo, watching cartoons with my girls and typing on here. Hope to get a shower and shave in yet. But once my wife wakes up, things will start to move into action and the laziness will end...... Now I'm going to go check out your shave of the day!!Quote:

Used the mini version camping, open pot heated on a propane stove and just chuck the ground coffee into it.

Been there also. Large pot, un-cooked eggs, lots of water and a cup of grinds....Strong coffee with no oiliness, hard boiled eggs all ready for breakfast.
Immersion heaters, yup!
I like the pour over or vacuum pots a bit more because the coffee water only goes through the grounds once't.
Loverly thing about coffee is that everyone can do their own thing!
Heck, on the road, I enjoy the gas station brews!

Now that I just can't do. I may be a barbarian but I still try to preserve my low standards.Quote:

Yea, can appreciate that. The boss and I go through 3 pots or so a day of coffee sometimes more. I like sweet coffee and for a change of pace I sometimes use demerara sugar or take it black but no milk ever. For me milk murders coffee or tea.Quote:
