Coffee

Quick coffee story: I measured out my .4 oz of beans for a cappuccino and put them in my grinder, inserted my portafilter and hit the power button and the coffee's coming out, and coming out, and coming out...

It goes way over the top of the portafilter and is still coming out!? I eventually hit the stop button, but I have no idea where all the extra coffee came from?

Yesterday was so busy that at some point I must have measured out beans for an espresso or cappuccino, put them in the grinder and forgot about them 🤷🏻

Anyway I stood there laughing (I laugh at myself a lot because I accidentally do funny shit sometimes) plus now I have another shot ready to go for later on! ☕️🐸

One of my first childhood memories is the old A&P Supermarket in our town where my mom used to shop, they had a big machine at checkout and I used to love to watch them grind the 8 o'clock coffee!

Ya, we had A&P up here too. They lasted up north for a long time even when gone in the cities. Last one I knew about got bought out around 2010.

The other one that was still in the city was Dominion. It got bought out by Metro a few years ago. They might still have the grinder in the isle.

My grandfather would take me with him to get beans at both stores. He’d get me to take the bag to the grinder and do the grind. Silly things that keep kids happy and involved. You could smell the coffee from halfway across the store.

Good times.

There are third party add-ons that let you DL YT vids but you’d have to host them somewhere else then link to it.

The more coffee the better! My God at dawn I had a double shot of expresso (which I rarely do) gave me such an energy rush I was out in a bathrobe in 25°f getting firewood, I brought up a week's worth of firewood in about 15 minutes! 🤣

Edit: I'm about ready for a cappuccino right now
 
2:00 a.m. Coffee Club in da house!

Eventually we'll all be meeting here for Coffee at 2:00 a.m. because Coffee is inevitable ✌🏻🤣

@Stoneyluv i opened the Grizzly Claw last night. Unfortunately my wife decided to help and poured the coffee without telling me. She added cinnamon without asking me first. So I wasn’t able to give any feedback.

I’m trying again this morning, no cinnamon.

It’s not as thick on the tongue. Taste is lighter. No bitterness up front or after. Reminds me of a diner coffee.

So far the best has been the Kick Ass. I think the other good one is called something like Three Sisters. This is based on the two they keep stocking the most of. I want to try that one next if I can remember to pick it up next weekend.

I just ordered a French press with my Amzone order, We've been kureging coffee for a long time now. I'm ready for a change.

I’ve noticed you’ve had a few different women wearing your same shirt. Some in the same week. Quite the stud sir. That or you have a lot of missing person posters in your neighbourhood. 😝

All these women hang out at the 2:00 a.m. Cafe, where the clothing requirements are very relaxed! 😉

I don’t do a lot of coffee these days. But if I do I want to be half decent. The kureg pods are okay if you want a coffee quick. Same goes for Tim’s or McD.

But if you want some good coffee and don’t want to go to the trouble of the old percolated kettle the French press is a nice and cheap alternative.

The amount of beans and water along with the grind can really make a difference.

When they say how many cups it makes they are not talking coffee cups. 🤣 We have a large one and it does three coffee cups perfectly.

So we had an after dinner cup of Joe. Tried the Grizzly Claw again with nothing but cream/milk and honey.

It’s not bitter. It’s not strong but it’s noticeable. Earthy. Lingers on the tongue.

We like a strong cup in the morning but this was good for after dinner. It goes well with cinnamon if you’re into that.

You're going to want a fairly coarse grind for a French press

I have one I use during power outages to make coffee in the wood stove because with everything I have to handle power outages the one thing I was missing was a way to make coffee, so my French Press is a lifesaver!
