If you want some REALLY fresh-tasting coffee, try roasting your own green beans

HUH?

That was was of the funniest replies I have read in a ling time.

Bodum.... bong??

Ah..., not quite the same thing.

How about an off topic reply to an off topic subject... have you tried COLD FILTERED coffee? You put a pound of coffe and a quart of water in a funnel, filter it through a hockey pucked sized filter into a waiting carafe - in the fridge, overnight. Out a teaspoon of the resultant slidge into a cup of hot water and you have coffee. Brewed but as fast as instant. Removes much of the acid and bitterness. Most folks who use sugar do not need it with this method. The set-up I use is called Toddy Coffee

Boy, I don't know...any outfit that would also offer flavored Martini mix is a bit suspect in my book:

A chocolate martini?

What a way to ruin the taste of perfectly good gin... not to mention the olive!:shock:

and this-

Ah! Rocky and Sylvia. The $1000 option for true coffee lovers. And then you have to spend years adjusting the grinder and perfecting your technique to get that perfect 27 sec. god shot....
For now I'll keep my french press (very good coffee) until I financed:
a)our new house (which we haven't found yet)
b)a good Eb and BBb tuba
c)really good original crooks for my natural horn

I break out the French Press every once in a while when I'm not in a rush and have some really good beans on hand. There's just more flavor and real essence of the coffee that is able to filter through.

Bad part is it cools quickly.

If you're not in a rush, then there's no problem. You can get 1 or 2 cup french presses as well.

I have a variety of french presses and I love the flavor you get from french pressed coffee. You even get a bit of that caramelly foam on top that resembles crema.

Still, for my money, I'll take my Estro Vapore any day of the week.

You guys won't settle for instant Nescafe and a microwave?
