"Tomorrow is promised to no man."

I use a manual 'Spong' vintage grinder (pictured) and a stove top 1 cup Mocca Pot. I like the fact the grinder just uses me as energy; and that it's vintage. I wake the family up with it every morning grinding my beans; 13 - 15 turns of the handle and it's enough for a cup.
I much prefer the Mocca pot over a French press (plunger), the taste difference with the same beans is remarkable.
I always drink from a vintage French coffee bowl; a coffee bowl is so nice...

Ah so....Grasshopper. But did the sun not yet again rise and give you another day to live? And what shall you make of this day? For today shall becomes tomorrow's past and the past shall beget your future. Choose wisely, for your future, if any, will depend on it. So sayeth the WhiteLion.

The sun didn't "rise" over Earth any more than I won the Kentucky Derby. Are you one of those geocentric flat-earthers? :rofl2:
Tomorrow (11-19-2012) is still not promised to anyone.
And don't call me grasshopper. And if you can't resist the impulse to do so, SMILE when you say that!
Seriously - I have tried so many different kinds of brewers lol... I got excited about each and every one of them, but in the end... it's always me and my press. I don't grind my own beans anymore. I probably should...

Earcutter !.........Don't be alarmed,but.....you have a wee blonde elves head sitting atop your French Press !?
Grasshopper (";"),
The Sun rose, the Sun set, another day has become our past. I was not promised today but I was granted it anyways. I expect no promises and would not trust them if they were made. But then, that is the joy of life. We never know when our allotted time will end so we better use the time we are given while we can. The victor is not he lives the longest but he who lives the best. So sayeth the WhiteLion.

P.S. :)
I almost forgot about coffee "bowls" which I encountered when back-packing through Europe many years ago. I don't recall ever seeing a "regular" coffee cup such as we use here in America. Either it was the tiny espresso shot cups which people stood in line to purchase for $2.00 a pop (about $7.50 in today's currency) or a medium size soup bowl as we may describe it here in the U.S.. Wow, talk about a blast from the past!
