You totally sound like someone else I know. :D: He would do almost anything except waste a good beer. ;) Ha!

I am addicted to French press. I was at the Port Columbia International Airport (CMH for you pilots), and they didn't have one. I realized then that I actually have grown a certain disdain for drinking coffee any other way.

There should be coffee sludge at the bottom of your cup.


My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?

I have a travel cup that is also a french press. Drinking directly from it is unpleasant, but poured into a mug and allwed to settle : it is heavenly!

My wife drinks coffee and occasionally gets a pound of our neighbor's stuff that'a a mix of beans he grows in Kula at his O'o farm and beans from Kaanapali Coffee Farms. It runs $26.50 a pound. She sez the price difference between store bought and the Kona/Kula stuff is really out of whack as there's not much difference in the taste.
That would be a true Kona blend ? Some day I home to visit a few coffee plantations in hawaii. I just need to borrow my parents timeshare on Maui...
I have visited plantations in Mexico (Plantation Las Glorious), and on Papua New Guinea (Goroka). There's nothing like a cupping right on the plantation to to give you the full experience of a regions coffee product!

Had our first Voodoo Donut last fall in downtown Portland. Had a hard time deciding which variety to try. We sat outside at a picnic bench and enjoyed watching the goths and other interesting street people wandering in and out.
Portland is such a unique city. I wish it had had that much character when I was growing up.

Best beer I have had in a long time was at Kona Brewing Company, where it was a stout with Kona coffee in it. Yes, it was true Kona coffee. :D:
