Folgers in a regular drip machine + french vanilla creamer.

Yeah that pretty much disqualifies you from any coffee bean conversation.

I'm more of a coffe head wannabe, but for 1-2 servings I can't sing the praises of the Aeropress enough. I won't bore you with details, but here's a good link to get you started.

Random thoughts:

• Definitely prefer the "inverted" vs traditional method
• Invest in a metal filter as opposed to the included paper filters. Metal ones allow more oils to pass and the coffee is much richer/tasteful
• The bean quality is of paramount importance. Locally fresh roasted is better, but beans bought online are really good too.
• Darkly roasted beans don't necessarily mean a richer flavor
• Single origin beans give more consistent flavor than blends
• Invest in a burr grinder. Don't waste money on a blade grinder
• Never pre-grind -- only grind enough for use at that time
• Don't go above about 180 degrees for extraction, certainly anything above 200 on the AP and you'll have a burnt taste
• For stronger coffee, it's better to extract for a longer time at a lower temp, than the converse

The beauty of the AP is you can easily alter all the essential variables (extraction time, grind size, water temp, etc...) which go into making coffee, and dial them to your personal preferences. It only seems complicated at first. However, after a couple times you'll find it's an incredibly easy -- and fast -- way to get a primo quality cup of coffee.

Hey honey, what do you want to do for lunch? Oh, by the way, Amy and Taylor are staying here tonight and tomorrow night.

Amy and Taylor being the two very non-attractive lesbians she coaches with. I should have had a kid to avoid this situation.

Jason Anderson has Mark fng Ennis aka MENGUS on right now providing insight on UK's chances vs S Carolina and the overall state of UK fball right now. UL is gearing up for the national spotlight and a big time showdown vs the defending national champ while lowly UK is a mess right now with no identity.

Extremely accurate, actually.

Most amazing things I have ever read on here, and that says something. A "controlled" 340 yd drive...

I guess the 379 yd explosion I saw DJ hit at Firestone wasn't all that I thought it was.

It's as true as you are a dork. Every drive was 310-315 or more. Several around 330-340, and one or two at 350-360. Next time I play with him, I'll take a video or something.

When did UKO swap the gold chain for a tie?

None of us want to see his 370 yard bombs.

We want to see wtf he does to F up the next 3-4 shots within 90 feet of the hole.

Save it, bro.

KHSAA playoffs in Cardinals stadium were awesome as a kid.

Hot chocolate...run around under the seat section chasing your buddies. It was awesome.

 

[Kooky Kats]

Place was magical.

A treasure, if you will.

I mean when you look up douche in the dictionary this should be the pic associated with it.

Allah saved our home from any damage. The Christian god is such a fraud. Praise be Allah!

Good luck with this buddy.

You have learned well, grasshopper.

However, espresso is an art.

Stillman was the UofL Women's basketball manager which is outrageously creepy.

 

[Joey Rupption]

I'm also a big Aeropress guy, obviously.

I'm a fan of the Aeropress.

Aeropress is the only way to go for coffee at home, JMO.

 

[drxman1]

I thought Joey shaved his head?

Looks like I have a new psycho stalker.

My first concert was Tiffany/New Kids on the Block at Old Cardinal Stadium. It was fabulous.

 

[roguemocha]

Chemex is the way to go. Buy an electric kettle with a programmable thermostat, set it to 205, grind the beans, put grounds in chemex, pour water over. Takes less than 5 minutes and it's infinitely better than Starbucks burnt ass coffee

GOOD GAWD, maybe I'm a little salty from no power for over 2 days but what in the hell are you all talking about? Did I somehow get redirected to Pinterest?

I'm no coffee snob (clearly), but Starbucks coffee isn't very good. McDonald's is significantly better, imo.

I'll one up you, Instant Coffee (brand doesn't matter it's instant) tap water, swirl around with a spoon, drink it all down at once at room temp. Whole process takes about 21 seconds.

I wonder at what temperature my grandad and his buddies like their beans roasted while they were flying P-38s over the ET?

That being said, like what you like. If you're all about some coffee, do your thing.

-Not having a phone for a day
Not having a phone for >a day

-Overall, things are getting better. Actually can do more than just call/text finally. Flying back to KY at some point this week. They're able to get residents down to Islamorada (MM74) but that's where things start getting bad.

 

[anthonys735]

So Aeropress + metal filter + grinder and a tea pot?

That's very doable. Beans recommended?

 

[anthonys735]

Ok, that dude is on ignore. Quit dragging trash in. Thanks, mngmt.

 

[catlanta33]

I didn't drag him in here. He brought himself here. Probably can't hit it over 300 yards anyway.

 

[TransyCat09]

Beans recommended?

Ethiopian, and most African beans, tend to be fruitier and less bitter/chocolate tasting. If you like those flavors, something from Central America.

 

[wildcat1973]

Ted Cruz being a member of the Cory Chase fanclub was a news story I did not expect in 2017. But respect knucks for his liking that Tweet. Nothing wrong with MILF porn.

Anth, make sure it's not a blade grinder.

I love Kona myself, and a nice Costa Rican terrazu.

Local bean roaster?
