Happy birthday @Taco critter & @bucktales

Thank you all.

This gettin old shit ain't for lightweights.

 

I might get one of these once I figured out how to turn it on it makes a good cup.

 

You better get all that done before I bring onyx back! I had to bring him with me so the pet sitter could get in.

 

I've simplified the appliance sprawl in this house. Got rid of all the pluggers-inners and went with a french press.

 

Is that a French press? I have a larger one. I bought an auto grinder for $16 (had a manual one; too much work for the amount I drink) and grind my beans, fresh, everyday. It takes less time than the water does to boil. Makes a great pot of coffee.

 

I need to find mine up in the cabinet somewhere. My battery backup can't power my coffee maker (wattage too high) but it can power a hot pot.

 

Yup, french press. Some are glass, others metal. I still manually grind the beans myself. Can't quite see in your pic, but a conical burr grinder does a better, more consistent job on the beans than the blade types. But they tend to be more expensive.

 

I have one, got it first, but found it too time consuming. I drink at least 4 cups throughout the morning and it takes a several minutes per grind, which is about 2 cups.

 

Right now. this is my coffee of choice. Rather cheap at Costco, a little more on Amazon.
