BoarderYUL Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Gecko... I always wake up too late for a latte on weekday mornings !! So since snow hasn't knocked to our doors, the only morning i can relax is on saturday ! But i'd take a latte, cappuccino or café con leche anytime !!!

Gecko Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 If I remember to set up the coffee maker in the evening then I have coffee as my wake up beverage. If I forget then the espresso maker get the nod. I can get a cup in less time than it takes to set up my coffee maker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ-PS Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 Pat, that's pretty phenomenal that you roast your own. Any tips? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Donnelly Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 Ryan, You may want to order up a pound of fresh roasted for your own evaluation: http://www.sweetmarias.com/prod.roasted.html I believe they roast on Monday's and orders are sent out the same day. There is a lot of information within the links from my first post. I have yet to purchase a drum roaster and am now on my third I-Roast; each time was an upgrade and to replace worn out roasters. I started thinking about getting into home roasting after a Starbucks opened near the work place. What got me wondering was how I could not come close to Starbucks quality brewed coffee at home when I was using Starbucks bean; I used a Bunn brewer, Proctor Silex percolator and even a Bodum press pot. I then visited a local commercial bean roaster and was pretty much told my results would improve if I started using freshly roasted bean. I bought some of his roasted bean then I search out home roasting equiipment. I do my roasting in our garage as there is a good deal of smoke, but it smells really good. Suppose you could do this inside providing you have an exterior venting hood vent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gecko Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 Another example of why Americans don't understand coffee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin A. Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Another example of why Americans don't understand coffee. That's just bizzarre... Coffee...*about 3-4 minutes of me thinking for something witty to say here goes by* I really don't even have anything for this one...I think that Bizzarre summed it up nicley.

RJ-PS Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Thanks Pat, We've got a small warehouse that should work, I don't think my wife would like me to smell up the whole house, even if it is good. thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooknbounce Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 http://www.coffeefool.com/ They have a large selection of the flavoured stuff, but also have a good selection of real coffee too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carvedog Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Since this is the coffee thread. How many out there use the screw together, aluminum looking espresso maker? YOu know the kind with water in the bottom that blows up through the coffee and goes into the top. I get espresso flavor, in a convenient time frame. About 8 minutes after I screw it together I am sitting down to my cup of fresh joe. I don't mind a little milk in to cool it down, but occasionally boil some milk to froth it up a bit. I find this far superior to brewed, pushpot or perc. since it is actual espresso. And it works great on the river too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gecko Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 yeah I use one when I don't want to spend the time to set up my espresso machine. There is nothing wrong with perk coffee I just prefer something different at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack M Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 This thing we have at work has turned me into a regular one-cup-a-weekday coffee drinker. I like the Green Mountain Dark Magic k-cups. Toasty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnshapiro Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 Jack, I'm wanting to get one of those machines. Funds aren't there right now though. They also have a little filter you can use your own coffee in and don't have to get the k-cups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooknbounce Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 I work offshore in the oilfield and every Italian vessel I have ever been on has at least 1 big industrial espresso maker and a dual hot plate burner on the bridge with two of those little pots sitting on it. Those guys are freaks about coffee. I knew I had made it as an offshore manager when they invited me up to the bridge for a cup. Very tasty cupa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
