Coffee Drinkers Anonymous

[pink poodle]

I was digging in the pantry this morning and I found a zip lock bag with a few cigars in it and some coffee beans. I think I purchased the cigars in Canada, so 2022...and at some point drunk poodle must have decided I wanted to infuse a coffee flavour into them? Or something like that...I guess, he is a weird dude. These beans were pretty old, but...I figured I could try and make a coffee with them before throwing them out. I went for the ultra long French press. They have been on the bench all day, stirred occasionally, and are now filtered off.




The result? It isn't as bad as I expected. It isn't going to change the world, but it is kind of sort of drinkable and I can definitely taste the cigars.


I do not need to repeat this experiment.

unfortunately, they are all slowly made so I think I am looking at September/October some time

I replaced my old Breville unit because it started leaking from every orifice. It was easily overhauled, probably, so I gave it to #2. He used it for a year in his flat and put up with the incontinence. Took it to his new place in the South Burnet and we fired the machine up and no leaks. At all. Ah you replaced the o rings, was it difficult? Except it has just stopped leaking after the bumpy drive. Who knows. Damn thing still makes good coffee.

I feel impatient!


Works of art aren't made, they are created.

So, A bumpy drive is the new service protocol?

Same as percussive maintenance on electronic stuff like computers. If in doubt give it a clout, the bigger the doubt the bigger the clout!

Do tell how the cigars tasted, providing they were good cigars. If they were old colt or similar I don't need to know, I can guess

But on coffee I was on the parade a couple days ago and stopped at a coffee shop called grind, probably the best coffee I have come across in Adelaide. The girls were fantastic.
I drive out there for coffee instead of a substandard one in the city

They were a bit on the dry side so burned faster than usual, but the flavour was still good and yes there was a hint of coffee to it.

Dip them in dog urine to rehydrate.

Anyone into percolators?
I’m thinking about getting one for my office at work rather than espresso.
Moccamaster seems like the one to go for - anyone got good experience with anything else?

I am a massive fanboi of the 2 cup (1 mug) stainless steel plunger. BUT, if the office kettle is plastic, get a stainless steel stovetop perk.
(assuming there is a stovetop to put it on), because endocrine disruptors and microplastics are all kinds of fkd.
I can't remember what brand my stainless steel stovetop perk is. stuffed away in a camping box. it wasn't super expensive though.
