sunday Posted October 12, 2022 Posted October 12, 2022 Will not work if the lady only drinks coffee because the caffeine. I do.
urbanoid Posted October 12, 2022 Posted October 12, 2022 True, while I use coffee maker at work which always has a good coffee, I still prefer 'worse' instant coffee at home, only because it's faster to make. If I had to clean the coffee maker in the morning like I have to do at work from time to time, I would probably go and murder someone instead. Nothing should stand between my and my desire for a cigarette and a VERY QUICK COFFEE in the morning.
Murph Posted October 30, 2022 Posted October 30, 2022 I bought a Chemex, and I will never give it up. It changes the whole profile from bitter/acidic to smooth and flavorful. It is astonishing.

Tim Sielbeck Posted March 9, 2023 Posted March 9, 2023 I, being a non-coffee drinker (unless it's butt freezing cold and I'm in it) could have told you that.
DB Posted March 10, 2023 Posted March 10, 2023 I was surprised at how little the decaff served in the office coffee bar sucked, but I tend to drink lattes and I suspect that masks a lot of misery. I'd take a fresh espresso brew decaff over any variant of Nescafe instant full-fat anytime, unless I absolutely needed to stay awake.
Ivanhoe Posted March 10, 2023 Posted March 10, 2023 There are some good decaf beans, and at one point I weaned myself off caffeine, but reality decided otherwise.
Murph Posted March 10, 2023 Posted March 10, 2023 The coffee in the hospital was bad, really bad, but the decaf was even worse.
DB Posted March 11, 2023 Posted March 11, 2023 The very best decaff isn't going to be better than its caffeinated equivalent, it can only be about as good. And it usually falls quite short. I imagine your hospital coffee was burned, lukewarm, ancient and served in a cheap disposable cup, and charged at rates normally seen in US Pharmacies.

I am waiting on the bill. But at least it had caffeine in it which is what I needed. With enough milk it was drinkable, just. I am at my favorite hippy coffee shop drinking one of the finest cups within 50 miles, even better than what I can make. Robert Heinlein graded coffee as follows: Coffee, Java, Joe, Jamoke, and Carbon Remover. The hospital stuff was no better than grade 4 on this list.
Mike1158 Posted May 30, 2023 Posted May 30, 2023 A lot of consumables seem to be led by belief rather than reality. It has been suggested that the micro ground coffee variety is better than instant but, seeing I could not get that ended up with instant. No discernable difference. I like the variety offered with the Nespresso pod machine though so will just have that instead.
Rick Posted May 30, 2023 Posted May 30, 2023 As we type, enjoying a cup of store brand straight, black and hot with a church grandmother's home made soda bread Now off to the retina world!
Murph Posted June 1, 2023 Posted June 1, 2023 This thing makes THE BEST cup of coffee I have ever had. If you use good quality beans (I like Ethiopian beans) it is just astonishingly good.
sunday Posted June 1, 2023 Posted June 1, 2023 Were the guys of black rifle coffee found to be somewhat less supportive of 2A than they claimed?

Murph Posted June 2, 2023 Posted June 2, 2023 They have issues, I will agree with that. Plus the coffee at their stand alone shops is not that great, maybe a little better than Starbucks.
bojan Posted June 2, 2023 Posted June 2, 2023 Murph, did you try Aeropress? Also produces very, very good coffee and is small enough to be carried on various trips.
Murph Posted June 2, 2023 Posted June 2, 2023 I have not tried one of those yet, it is on the list of coffee making devices to try. The Chemex has sold me, and we use it almost daily. I don't think I have ever had a better cup than I get from the Chemex. I use Ethiopian beans ground fresh in it.
bojan Posted June 2, 2023 Posted June 2, 2023 Brother is a really big fan of Chemex pour over, but he is even bigger fan of Aeropress. Also prefers Ethiopian, hence I think you will like it.
DB Posted June 3, 2023 Posted June 3, 2023 Man, coffee making has developed into an extreme fetish for some. I think it's already been likened in here to the audiophile extremes. Ok, maybe breaking up your ground coffee with a little spiky doodad might help even flow, but pouring it over a liquid nitrogen chilled steel ball... It's designed to be an easily deliverable and somewhat palatable caffeine delivery system.
Murph Posted June 3, 2023 Posted June 3, 2023 I'll stick with the Chemex, the only downside is the stinking filters get pricey after a while.
