Your pan could easily hold another 4-5 strips. Come on man!
I eat the pig.
Im not the pig.
Corn flakes and beer is good for me. All of the rest of you keep drinking that vile black shit.
When younger I thought Ham & eggs, raw egg cracked into a glass and a Hamm's beer filling it up great morning drink
Ahhh...Hamm's beer. The good old days when you could have cartoon beer commercials on network TV. Before the dogooders spoiled all the fun and pussified generations of youth.
I miss the Hamm's bear and Joe Camel!
Well i miss understood first cup of coffee thing as 8 shots of expresso. Am i doing this right?
Yes.

How do you like the coffee from the chemex? How does it compare to say coffee prepared in a French press?
I make all my coffee with a French press, really enjoy it. As far as coffee goes, you can definitely tell the difference in quality and taste between a small time artisan roaster and the massed produced junk out there. If I drink coffee, I want it to be because I enjoy the coffee, and some of the stuff coming out of small time roasters is amazing. Lately I've been getting my coffee from drinktrade.com, cool site with some great coffees.
Ive been brewing Black Rifle Coffee Co - Just Black.
I cant compare Chemex to FP as I have never FP'd.
I like that I can aerate the coffee in the Chemex. I swirl the brew in the glass bowl and when poured it comes out with a head on it.
The morning coffee is my best coffee of the day, later in the day Im drinking keurig or Dunkin as time allows.
I have the following coffee makers, and my opinion on each (not in any particular order):
Bunn drip coffee maker - best drip coffee I've had. Great for when people are over and I don't want to spend a ton of time making coffee. Brews really fast.
Chemex - My favorite coffee. Strong, not too bitter but still lets you know its coffee and not some pussy tea.
French Press - decent, coffee often comes out a bit bitter which is not so much an issue for me (USMC coffee will kill people with weak constitutions). Pretty dependent on consistent brewing practices
Breville Dual Boiler espresso machine. Worst $1300 I ever spent. Terrible machine that's given nothing but trouble and currently sitting on a shelf in my garage waiting to go back for repair (again).
*Edited to add that my coffee comes from a local coffee shop that roasts in-house and ground at home on a burr grinder*
I was a long time French Press coffee guy until the Moccamaster. Haven’t missed the old ways once. Since the first cup to now.
Yuban better believe it!
I recently bought a small bag of dark roast, already ground up. I think the darker it is, the more burnt it tastes. I guess that's why I don't like Starbucks!
I like grinding my own beans just before I make a pot.

Bored, been reading through this thread. We live in rural Ark. Unless we order it we dont have big selection of coffee. For sure no local roaster!! I generally drink the Folger’s Columbian. But, we can run the house on well water or Public water system. Our well water makes 2x better coffee than the rural water system. I was kinda amazed at the expense, trouble, technical ways some on here go through to make coffee and nothing was mentioned about the main ingrediant. Play with the water only, leave everything else the same and see how that affects your coffee. You will see a change!!
I had coffee this last weekend from filtered snow melt running down the mountain.
So close To the source, there was snow all around while getting the water from the creek.
You are right, big difference.
Was sad when my water bottle was out of that tasty water back in the truck too....
that said, its 43F and raining here, so the coffee was pretty welcome at 0500 today.

you mean to tell me that there are people who dont drink coffee in the morning?
first thing I do in the morning is make the coffee for the two of us in my house that drink coffee.

Still using the Eight O'clock whole bean that Dad and Grandaddy drank. I remember going to the A&P store with my grandmother as a kid and got to hold the bag when the beans ran thru the grinder. Got hooked on the smell then. Still grind my own every morning, just use filtered water from a cistern to keep out the chlorine. Bring the whole pot to work in one of those stainless carafes and everybody hates it every time I pour a cup. But I ain't paying $2 a cup or $15-20 a pound and my coffee beans aren't burnt either...I do miss the Kona from Hawaii when stationed there, but it was local then and no more than any other brand in the 70's. My dos centavos...
Never had mine clog.
I use whatever grind BRCC sends their ground coffee with.
It is pretty coarse.
Sean, the Nailer. Go to Wally-World (WalMart) or (go to their site to see) and into the coffee maker isle and look for an aluminum Cuban coffee maker ( IMUSA USA 6 Cup Cool Touch Handle Espresso Coffee Maker) for about $14. You simply unscrew the top half off, fill the bottom half to the line with water. Then there is a small funnel with holes that you fill and pack tight with Café Bustelo or Café Pilon (ground expresso/Cuban coffee roast) then carefully screw the top half back on and put it on the stove and turn the stove to high. In a few minutes the maker will whistle and when the steam stops the top half is full of expresso (unsweetened) coffee. To make Cuban coffee("Liquid Lightning") just pour out the whole 5 ounces and stir in 1 large spoon of sugar and in 5 minutes sweat will pop out on your forehead and …...shiiiiiiFM, I hear you. For the longest time I too didn't drink coffee at all. Then just before I hit 30 I was working 12 hr night shifts right after 12 hr day shifts. (quick flip) and then I started drinking it.
Now, myself and My Lady each have one cup of coffee in the morning. But it is turbo-nuclear-super-concentrated. Espresso!!!!! We've had a few different espresso makers/machines here, and I'm just wondering if any of ya'll have them/use them/recommend one in particular?
1 cup of this stuff a day is easily the equivalent of a pot of coffee. I highly recommend it.
I have one of those along with my other methods.
The Imusa makes good espresso, but don't trust that the unit will whistle to tell you it's done.
I reported you to the admins. Have you no shame?!
Look at the shitty resolution on that pic!
I cant beat my meat to 4 pixels hoping that that is a tittie, you fucking savage. You can redeem yourself with better res images.

. Also, the enjoyment of coffee shares an inverse relationship to the current level of discomfort or suffering.
Yeah, if yours never clogs you're definitely on the coarse side of things.
But there is no right or wrong when it comes to taste.
As long as you're enjoying the taste in the cup; you've got it right.
Thread too long, didn’t read
Do you coffee snobs approve of bunn and ore ground coffee?
Also free @centuraitor. He was also posting stuff for sale cheap

Whoa!!! Moka pots can make good coffee (or moka), but it is not espresso!
Pure blasphemy...
Bunn does some things very well. They also do somethings not so well... depends on which type of equipment and model if it gets snobbery approval.
Ground coffee in snobbery circles on the other hand is lower than Savage is to this community. Grinding it yourself just before brewing is the only acceptable method.
...actually with the recent market proliferation of sample roasters. Snobbery circles are trending on if you don't roast your own beans these days you're doing it wrong. Needless to say coffee snobbery circles can go down rabbit holes just as deep, time consuming and expensive as any precision rifle rabbit hole.
Ironically enough, boys.... but that IS what I'm using here. I started off many years ago, using a cheap 'espresso machine' that was given to me, then I upgraded to a Krups machine, but there's a fair bit of dorking around to get each cup. I got one of these-here IMUSA jobbies, and one of those is a mug for me.
But I know what I don't know, and I know that I don't know everything.... so I had to ask. Maybe there was something better out there that was still in the realm of reasonable and logical regarding pricing. There are way too many machines out there that also slice and dice and chop and whisk and even make julienne fries...... but the dollars asked are ridiculously phenomenal. For a cup of coffee. (real coffee, not that weak-assed fake crap).
Thank you gentlemen, I shall continue on. That don't mean I'm not open to improvement, but a good coffee don't taste any better out of a solid-gold mug, either.
Lol Ima stick with my pregroubd Starbucks dark roast and bunn. I don’t have enough time for guns let alone coffee rabbit hoesWhoa!!! Moka pots can make good coffee (or moka), but it is not espresso!

I'm a glutten for rabbit holes, but even I have my limits... roasting is beyond those limits.
But I do like what you did there... "rabbit hoes"
Bunn is a great machine.
My Holy Grail of coffee has the following recipe - Old school diner, counter stool, Bunn machine, white china mug, waitress with some sarcasm, bacon and eggs.
And a couple of sliced beef steak toe maters.
