@Snowy:

…and that's why we (I) love you Mclain Finn

Shit, I missed that love the first time around, right back atcha Snow Man!

When starting out with all this 'stuff' that's more difficult than paying someone $3 for a coffee, keeping it simple to begin with makes it less confronting, reduces potential frustrations and complications ruining the result. There's a bit of 'stuff' to learn around the process and grind. Inversion adds a few more steps (2), it's a little off the beaten track (not a lot).

Crawl Walk Run. I always try keep things KISS x

[mclaincausey]

Agreed. That was my approach to start, followed the instructions. Perhaps because I got familiar with that, trying inversion seemed pretty easy when I tried it and I've stuck since. Now I just play with grinds, temps, blooms, steeps, etc. AP is awesome.

I'm looking for a programmable drip coffee maker that brews into a carafe. We've had a 10-cup cusinart for years and it's ok, but the carafe isn't working so well anymore and we're starting to look for a new machine or maybe just a replacement carafe. Any suggestions?

good morning y'all…

Haven't had any coffee since Christmas due to coming down with a bacterial infection. Going to wait another week or so and start back up again. Can't wait!

Edit: finished antibiotics a week ago and feeling a ton better!

Got them at http://www.fishseddy.com/ in the city.

They have a vintage section as well as a lot of cool new mugs.

Yeah, I just liked the "old fashion way…" line.

You're getting schooled. Coffee tastes better out of a good mug; it's like wine.

[Giles]

Damn, what sort of mug should I use for wine?

[Snowy]

I hear this is a good wine mug;

[Mild7]

love it!

Anyone use Tonx Coffee Subscriptions?  I've had it for a couple months, they have been 4 for 4 on the coffee.  I was worried with the variety thing I'd be getting some "experimental" stuff.  Presentation is impeccable as well.
