Cool. What some people will do for coffee amazes me some times.

Ive been going by the basic rules of 15mg water to 1mg bean and brew for 4 minutes but its a bit much so ive been cutting back on the brew time and bean weight. It is getting very enjoyable now....

I'm not looking to start roasting myself. Just wanting to learn if there is a difference in the type of roasting and what the pros and cons are of the two styles. Just to help in making my choice of...

Another beginner question. I might be opening a can of worms here but, I've read about roasting the old fashion way, rolling the beans in a tumbler and the other option of air roasting. From what I...

Update: I was running late yesterday so I ran out of the house with NO coffee. That sucked. But I just made another pot the same way as I did the first time and added a splash of half & Half. Took...

I think after 99 more trys you might be able to come to a conclusion. Ha. Just dont do it in one day. :rofl2: I read that using the filters takes the oils out of the coffee. This might be some of...

Mine came with filters but the dual filter it has in it, I had no sludge! Mine is called an Espro. There might have been a touch in the bottom of the cup, but really nothing to complain about except...

It was a.strong coffee flavor but not bitter. Tried it black and gave the wife a cup. She saturated hers with creamer and sugar. Im trying to not do this. Think maybe a splash of half and half might...

Just tested the teapot. Damn! that thing gets hot. I think it's for looks more than use. Oh well, It is metal, so it will survive for a while. Seemed to me it took about 1 minute after the whistle...

I was going to use a tea pot too TC. The wife keeps one on the stove at all times. Why, i have no clue. I think she was brought up that way. Ive never seen her use it.

I didnt know what beans to buy. The wife and i were at a health food store, why? I guess just too look at all the thin people and to get some good fruit and veg. Found a row of bean dispencers and...

Well a day late as they say.
I just talked the wife into ordering me a French Press and a decent grinder. Hoping i can finally get away from the folgers. Cant wait to give this a good try. Maybe mid...

I'm no specialist when it come to coffee. I just drink it all day. The muddier the better. I like mine to bite back!
