Perfect cup o' Joe

Nancy,

how do I get good coffee - that I can add milk and chocolate to!!!!!

Is the cone and filter the best route?

In my completely unbiased and objective opinion, YES. :smile

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. :wink

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......

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!
 
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. :smiled 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!

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!

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. :wink:
 
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. :xnaughty :xnaughty :xnaughty

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. :shock: :shock: :shock: !!!

Joe. :teeth :thup
 
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? :lol:

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".
 
Well since we are on the subject-I am retired Air Force and many years ago I worked for a while in the command post. During night shifts we would make coffee to be ready when the big shots came in at 0600. The coffee operation was financed by monthly dues and each officer had his own cup on a hook near the coffee bar. We had one officer who was always "thrifty" about paying up. When I was on duty I would save half a pot of the old dried up sludge til about 0500, dilute it with a few cups of fresh water and turn the burner on under it. Since Mr. Thrifty was always the first one by in the morning he got one of the "good" cups before we made some fresh coffee. For him it was the "perfect cup o' joe."
 
Tonight I am roasting Colombia "Los Pijaos de Tolima" green coffee beans from Sweet Maria's. The West Bend Poppery II can only roast about 1/2 cup at a time, but it has an awesome aroma, will do perhaps four to six little batches tonight, only takes about 6 minutes per batch to French Roast. Can hardly wait to brew a pot in the a.m. Earlier put a pork loin rubbed down with Morton's Tenderquick in the fridge, and also 5 lbs of pork shoulder cubes for Coppa. These will be dried for 3 - 4 weeks after curing for a couple of weeks, then sliced very thin. Lordy, roasting coffee, charcuterie, what else is out there? I already brew beer and make wine! Tell me what is next, Marc! :lol:

Do you smoke fish or meats? I can teach you that (if you teach me the charcuterie).
