Nancy,

Is the cone and filter the best route? |
In my completely unbiased and objective opinion, YES. 
I have used a percolator and made 'hobo' coffee on the boat and the drip filter method resulted in the best tasting coffee for me. Of course, with enough milk and chocolate you can make most anything taste good. 
Opinions may vary.

p.s. - Your slip just doesn't look right without a C-Dory next to Trinity. |

Thanks Sarge-
We miss having you next-door.
Think I saw your new boat being lifted into dry storage. The bottom looks great! Can't wait to see the rest of it......

Well...it's a distant second - behind a Honda EU2000.

There is but one way to make good coffee -- fly the coffee's on flag!!
This is our coffee being made last week on Capital Reef (in Utah) -- and if you run your C-Dory aground on this reef you are in mega-trouble!

OK, to get that perfect cup o' joe, you have to have the freshest coffee available! And that means home roasting green coffee beans! Read about my roaster here!

Pat,
I just read about your coffee roaster...Man I bet that makes the house smell great. About a hundred years ago I used to go with my dad in his truck to pick up loads of beans at the wharves in SF. I loved laying on the bags of beans and breathing the smells of the Coffee Roasters that permeated the area.  Jack |

Indeed it does! And the aroma lingers a while! We have roasted the first of three one pound bags we bought - Colombian Supremo. Patty ordered the beans from u-roast-em.com, not Sweet Maria's, but they are still excellent. Next order will be Sweet Maria's, but too many choices, it is a bit overwhelming!

I read the thread - very interesting and creative handiwork on the popcorn popper! I guess all the experience you gained over the past couple of years changing trailer tires and messing with batteries has paid off.

Hopefully no one will give him any power tools. I offered to loan him my roto-drill, but I am rescinding that and will do the work for him on the 16.

No power tools were required for the coffee roaster...a can opener, a pair of scissors and needle nose pliers, that's it, I swear!

Little nephew, I saw a "Dunkin Donuts" coffee ad on TV today You know the one - bunch of people standing on their roofs lauding the goodness of Dunkin Donuts coffee? Well the last gal stands up and says "This is my sixth cup". So unrealistic, but it reminded me of you and Da Nerd.
Hell, if it were me, I'd probably say "Ehehnoyeshohooothisismysixthcupwahhwwwoodooosoowwwoooooooo"
That's when I thought of you two (and santa) after six cups.

I'm no Coffee Connoisseur, but love it dearly, and may be a Java Junkie, at least, drinking a full 1 liter German beer stein full each morning and speeding along my C-Brat Fix.  !!!

So THAT'S how you managed to make 4,762 posts - a daily liter stein of of coffee before you get typing on C-Brats? So how is your stomach lining holding up, Joe?

I remember a day in 1954. I was about to finish boot camp and was being interviewed for rating placement, what I wanted to do in the Navy. So this second class something asks me what I want to do. I answer that I want to be a bos'n, like my company commander. He laughs and asks me "Can you make coffee?" I look puzzled, He says "If you can't make coffee you can't be a bos'n. You're gonna be a corpsman." Apparently the Navy had lost a lot of corpsmen in the Korean War and had more than a few vacancies in that rating. So, here I am after a life-long career in public health, wondering how it would have been different if I only knew then how to make "a cuppa Joe".
