Coffee

Just realized how much my last post sounded like an info-mercial...

That's fine. We just reported you as spam so you can expect to be banned at any moment.

Nah... Even though my grammar is often very poor and my spelling can be even worse I think both of them are much better than your average spammer.

With that said, if you send me a pm with all your personal and financial information I will share some information with you that will earn you millions!

Check out Lucas Roasting Company ( http://www.lucasroasting.com/). He's a small-batch roaster and roasts to order. It's the best, freshest coffee I've ever had. I particularly love the Morning and House Blends, but the single origin coffee's are excellent as well.

I love beer... and now I love coffee...

I wonder if I could brew coffee... using beer instead of water... hmmmm...

I've been ordering my green beans from Sweet Maria's for 8-9 years and, though they aren't the least expensive, I feel they have a great selection and certainly are very knowledgeable folks. I too use a hot air popper outdoors 7-8 months out of the year and a indoors under a range hood in the winter.

That's where my friend buys his beans, but he's thinking about trying out the place I get my coffee from. They sell green beans too.

Most drip coffee makers are useless. French press less so, but still far from ideal. In the first instance the water is never hot enough (~205F) and in the second too many oils and particulates that are neither good for taste or mouthfeel come through yet it's very difficult to get complete extraction from the grind (which is extremely important and why one must have a burr grinder to get the most out of coffee). The pour-over is the single best way to get extraordinary coffee. I recommend a Chemex.

+1000. Monday Through Friday I am too lazy so I grind at night and set my crappy mr. coffee maker to automatically start so I can pour it into my thermos as I run out the door. BUT on the WEEKENDS I treat myself. I heat my 12 oz of water in the microwave while I grind my beans and then pour over - using my thermapen from mashing to check temp of 205 . It is absolutely amazing how the same coffee I drank during the week has soo much more flavor!

I'm really enjoying the programmable coffee maker. Finishes brewing right about the time I'm waking up. Smells fantastic.

Like I said above, try a pour over, you will be amazed . You can buy single cups from BB&B for $3! http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?SKU=10182077&RN=831&

If anyone wants to try the coffee from the place I get mine, there's a deal on for a couple more days:

http://www.heraldnetdailydeal.com/2012/05/04/2lbs-of-Organic-locally-micro-roasted-Camano-Island-Coffee-Incl-shipping-15

Not my deal. I don't make money off it. Not getting a referral. I just like the coffee and a few people expressed an interest.

I also roast my own and am a fan of sweet maria's.
Used my popcorn popper for a couple of years but just got the Nesco roaster last week.

I also like the aeropress.

Mostly into Sumatrans and Kenyans now.

Another Sweet Maria's customer here. I use them for green beans and roast in a hot air popper.

cant you do a pour over using a regular coffee maker, just not turning it on (Open the lid and pour the 205F water directly through the filter?

I sent that link for the special on Camano Coffee Roasters coffee to my mom because she really liked their coffee. She bought 2 lbs and gifted the certificate to me. LOL
