fair trade? yes. bird friendly? are you messing with me?
This was a good thread about coffee. The practices of how the bean gets to your cup should be an AMT thread.
Sorry OP
It's all good from here, but I thank you, PJfan What about those beans that are culled from the shit of...monkeys, I think?
From an animal call Asian palm civet
Kopi Luwak is coffee prepared using coffee beans that have been subjected to ingestion and fermentation in the gastrointestinal tract of the Asian palm civet, which is called luwak in Indonesia. Caffeine content in both Arabica and Robusta luwak coffee is lower than in unfermented coffee. Large deformation mechanical rheology testing revealed that civet coffee beans are harder and more brittle in nature than their control counterparts indicating that digestive juices enter into the beans and modify the micro-structural properties of these beans. Proteolytic enzymes cause substantial breakdown of storage proteins.
Kopi Luwak is traditionally made from the faeces of wild civets, however, due to it becoming a trendy drink, civets are being increasingly captured from the wild and fed coffee beans to mass-produce this blend. Many of these civets are housed in battery cage systems which have been criticised on animal welfare grounds. The impact of the demand for this fashionable coffee on wild civet populations is yet unknown but may constitute a significant threat. (from Wikipedia)

So those poor little guys are force-fed coffee beans? I wonder if they get any sleep at all. Hope they at least get biscotti, or maybe an amaretti.

I love coffee too, and I have yet to find American coffee that is affordable and tastes good. My family regularly sends me care packages with German coffe. If I'm out, I buy it from Amazon. I use a regular $50 bucks coffee machine that does not need a paper filter because it has a mesh filter in there that I can take out for dumping the old coffee. I love a machine with a thermo container for the coffee, and this one has it. In Germany, I inherited my grandparents' machine that was too complicated for my grandpa. You put beans and water in there and it ground them fresh for every cup. I loved it. I would not be able to afford something like this and it did not make the move to the US. I find Keurigs interesting but I would not get one. I guess I like a little work for my coffee, and I hate the waste. If the coffee is good, a simple machine can do wonders, in my opinion. If you are interested, look for Jacob's Krönung on Amazon, that is my to go to. It is comparable to Dunking Donuts Medium Roast.
Please, Pearl Jam, consider a Benaroya Hall vinyl reissue!
But, big ?, where is this video from? Love Strangest Tribe, but don't recall seeing Ed sit down singing a song in ages, not without a guitar. And in shorts no less.

How have I never saw this before???
If it's Strangest Tribe, it has to be Oslo last summer since that's the only place it's been performed live. And would presume he's sitting because that was around the time he injured his knee.
I've never seen the video either but have heard in on sirius radio many times.

Thank you for this, B. His wife seems like an ass-kicker (not to mention him, himself).
Love how not only PJ but coffee unites some of us.
LOL, Hedo!
Heidi May is actually not Rollins wife but he did say of her once, "Heidi May, the woman who runs my life." Haha! If you get a chance, check out their podcasts some time. They're a riot!

No, you don't need a water line hookup. It holds a tank of water that it heats up for each cup. You can put a charcoal filter in the tank, the same kind many coffee makers use.
I used to use a Keurig at work but I've gotten to where I just prefer brewed coffee.
Just for the record, Keurig is brewed coffee.

Haha, thought of that after I'd posted. Guess I should have said a brewed pot of coffee.
And I'm with Leeze, German coffee is the best. Everyone seems to think of Germans as the world's greatest beer drinkers. That may be true but when I visited there was excellent coffee everywhere, even on the train.

No matter what you use, a permanent gold plated coffee filter is ideal. Paper filters are not only harder on the environment but rob coffee of a lot of it's natural oils. You can pick them up for 10 to 30 bucks I think, but you just wash and reuse it. They last a long time.

Close Encounters is on right now, and this huge scene with the lights and the mountain and Dreyfuss and Truffaut (love saying his name, by the way) seem much more simple than brewing a cup of fucking Joe.
I've also got that five-note music from the film in my head now.
I have a Mr. Coffee. It does the job--coffee in the morning! Also a frech press (for when we lose electricity during storms or when I want to be fancy). Am thinking about also getting one of those percolators that you put on stove. Sorry I can't make any more fancy shmancy recommendations, Hedonist.
I use a French Press and an Aero Press. Not a fan of drip coffee unless it's fresh grounds in a funnel filter pour by hand with perfectly temperatured water. I have a Keurig but only use it if I'm really running late!

Yes, the potato mountain!
Man, I haven't seen this film in ages and loved watching it again. I can see how SS went from this to ET.
Maybe I should just say fuck it, get another Mr. Coffee and assume we'll be good for a year!

That is a beautiful animal, and I love how the brows, eyes and nose are so close to the ones we actually live with.

So I just went to the Keurig site and there's a photo of Hugh Jackman laughing. The fuck?
Did you get one yet?
