    I was gonna ask, Henry and Heidi May what? =)

    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.

    Me too! I need to write this stuff down. I live by post-its and whatnot.

    deadend, I checked out Bunn but it seems like either/or - one or 10-cup maker. Argh!

    how embarrassing!

    try the Cuarenteño

    Is it fair trade? Is it bird friendly?
    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
    image
    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)
    I GOTTA TRY SOME OF THIS SHIT!!!!!!!!

    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.

    Damn you, Speilberg!

    The mashed potatoes mountain?

    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!

    Shit I missed this great convo.who dosent love coffee?

    I drink Foldgers instant and have for 30 years.I love it.I have an insta hot at my sink.bam!!! it's ready in 5 seconds.Steamy,dreamy and delicious.
    Fuck all that other fancy shit.

    I have a commercial Keurig in my office.its fine and convenient,does the job.You don't need a waterline.it has a tank.Whats nice Hedo is you can also brew tea,hot chocalate,and other goodies.Caribou brand makes a smooth bunch of non acidic coffee.(That's why I hate that Starbucks shit).
    Even though it's been a long time since the ol coffee pot.Some of you are right on.The way the house smells when brewing is delicious.

    Why do aliens always have a human form? (or vice versa?)

    Head, neck, body with arms and legs.

    Pfft to that!

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