Coffee mans best friend.

Prior to the 30's people used to boil coffee a little too long and the eggshells smoothed the bitterness out.

When they start making it in a K- cup for my Keurig or start selling it at Dunkin donuts ill have to try it, until then I think I'll wait.

I can't believe I didn't think about it before, but the main reason the egg shells would work is that mineral impurities in water reduce the boiling point, thus preventing the coffee from reaching the temperature which makes it bitter

Sure is great when all the SLY brothers, come togther and get their heads together. If we can't figure it out NO one can.

It's incredible I can't believe how much smarter I feel having a bald head. I should have shaved it a long time ago I'd problely be a Dr or Lawer by now.

I love my iced coffee. I regularly drink Bustelo at home using my moka pot. The irony is that while growing up, I did not care for coffee, but now I am addicted.

Nice looking scull cap and beard.  It is funny how the older we get the better we like and dislike things .    Never have tried a Moka pot.  What are they?

Last point first:

This is a moka pot:



This was a common occurrence for me growing up, being my mother loved her (Bustelo) coffee made from there. My father, on the other hand preferred Maxwell House. When I moved out, I wanted one for decoration, to only end up using it at home.

As for the bald cap and beard. Thanks. Sadly, the beard is down to a circle beard (it's an old picture,) but I am planning to grow it back very, very soon.

Coffee is wonderful!  I've started using my home brewer with grounds, usually dark.  For a very long time I was a black-only coffee guy, until this fall my friend introduced me to Bailey's Irish Creamer.  Now I put a dash of that in every mug.  Yum!

I haven't seen one of those in years. Many years ago I usd to use a French Press. Haven't seen one of those in a long time either.

I'll work on that.

Thanks buddy, good avitar.  You look great sly.

My coffee machine is a necessity for me. Can't beat them fresh beans.

 I make my own auto drip................Folgers and ''Chock full of nuts'' are 2 of our favorites. I can recommend 2 more from the ''fast food'' arena..............Burger king uses ''Seattle's Best''..................and a chain around here called ''Bigbys Coffee''.   BOTH are excellent in my opinion. Seattle's Best has an almost chocolate taste to it and the coffee is great. Bigbys  ''in house'' regular brew is fantastic.   Sorry,I  cannot drink decaf.  'gotta have mine ''leaded''.

[tomgallagher]

I agree about Decaf, mine has to be locked and loaded.
