With your 4.75 pounds of flour  you will be able to make 5 .95 pound cakes

I was told there would be no math.

I suppose it would make sense for Monster owners to love coffee, since you know, our bikes come pre-programmed with Starbucks coordinates (btw, I hate that place)

my wife bought me this a few weeks ago, much better brew than my 20 dolla Mr. Coffee, plus the programmable timer is so much more convenient in the mornings than breaking out the french press

Speaking of coffee, we tried the Civet coffee this weekend, my wife's boss gave it to her as a going-away gift. Didn't taste like sh!t, suprisingly enough

New (to me) Gaggia Syncrony Digital with a bunch of little Bodum cups on the cup warmer.



Mmm... Debil juice.

Kirkland decaf in a 3 pound can, drip coffee maker, flavored creamer all is good.

[DesmoLu]

French Press FTW. I haven't brewed drip in ages.

btw, did you know you can re-brew your coffee to make decaf?

Indonesian beans can be spectacular but lately I've really been into Costa Rican beans for a low acidity naturally flavorful brew. Also, when I went to visit El Mat's family in Venezuela we picked up some AWESOME beans for wicked cheap but apparently they don't export anymore, the damn socialists 

For mediocre beans, I grind a cinnamon stick and nutmeg nut with the beans - its pretty damn delicious!

Yeah you can strain your bong water, and scrape out the bowl, but it's just not the same.

No.  Could you expand on this please?  Just curious, I like caffeine.

LOL, no, seriously - French Press coffee round one is for me and and round two of the same course grounds for grandma!

Illy is my favorite.  I have a superautomatic espresso maker, but I miss my old manual Saeco (that my sister is now using to "espresso" her can of Folgers   ).

I had been reading posts about these over at coffeegeek.com for awhile now. Guys were talking about how it made better espresso than most mid-high level espresso makers, cost a fraction of the price and take up no space. Many had said they simply got rid of their expensive machines as they just didn't use them anymore.

I was skeptical to say the least.

I picked one up about 2 months ago..............they run about $35.

I took it to work to test it for the guys at the fire station. They now refer to it as the "crack pipe".

It makes ridiculously awesome espresso and americanos.

What coffee do you use for it?

My guess would be your favorite espresso roast, or favorite bean finely ground.
