Hi Dave,
DD> I developed a blend if pre-roasted beans that I quite liked and would
DD> grind them in my R2-D2 spice/coffee grinder. But I discovered Maxwell
DD> House Intense Bold and Folger`s Black Silk and alternated between
DD> those depending on which is on sale when I need to re-stock.
RH> He usually gets his beans at Cost Plus World Market or one of the big
RH> savings stores (Costco).
DD> It`s not easy to find bean coffee these days - except "specialty"
DD> items that are "snob" expensive.
DD> I remember the days when Kroger and the A&P (maybe other, too) sold
DD> bags of pre-roasted coffee beans and had a grinder you put your beans
DD> into
DD> and selected the grind you wished, drip, percolator, etc. Put the bag
DD> that had held the beans under the discharge and push the button. To
DD> this day I`ve not figured out how the fresh ground aroma always smells
DD> better than the coffee it makes tastes. Bv)=
I remember those days. I still like the smell of coffee, especially the
fresh ground, but I just can`t stand the taste of it.
DD> My house mate is going to give up on the instant coffee so I`m giving
DD> him my Hamilton Beach pod/loos coffe single cup brewer.
Good to see that his tastes are improving. The times my mom was in
summer school (working on her Master`s degree) my dad drank instant
coffee. I think it was easier than perking up just one cup.
DD> (boiling or nearly so) water. For multiple cups - or for Iced Tea I
DD> use the Mary Dunbar/Jewel Tea tea pot that my grandmother had and an
DD> aluminum tea ball/infuser to hold loose tea leaves. A pixture of one
DD> very like it (except in stainless steel) is at
DD> https://tinyurl.com/TEA-BAWL
RH> We`ve got one of those ball infusers; it was one part of a number of
RH> things I got from my grandmother`s estate 50 years ago.
DD> I know the words to that somg.
I`ve got a number of other kitchen things from her estate and a Seth
Thomas budior clock that is now 100 years old. Needs some work done on
it but has been pretty reliable until just a few years ago.
