Coffee Enthusiasts
I was talking to a friend/co worker today, and it turns out he uses a DE, brush and mug. We may have a new member. He expressed interest in straight razors. He seems very interested in all the soaps and creams and he's a fan of Proraso pre shave. He also uses fountain pens. It seems many of us, have similar interests...
The subject of Coffee came up. Turns out in addition to old style shaving, etc..we both have a passion for fresh ground coffee. I prefer Arabica beans. I stared drinking 8 o clock coffee and switched a few years ago to D&D Beans (Dunkin Donuts) I love their Coffee, must be a New York thing. (I'm originally from New York/New Jersey) and grinding them myself. I use a little electric grinder. He told me these are no good, and have a tendancy to overheat the beans. I guess you could cycle it every few seconds.
He recommended one of the old style coffee mills. Peugeot and Zassenhaus seem to make some good ones.
He also recommended a French Press to brew coffee. This all seems interesting to me, especially since I only drink one cup a day. I tend to make coffee in small amounts. I was thinking the French Press and an old crank style grinder might be the ticket. Does anyone else do this? Any insight would be appreciated.
