  Jeff, you need to 'come out'.

  Have a 'coming out' party, complete with coffee mate, cream, half and half, 2% milk, skim milk, and soy milk.

  Oh, and don't forget refined white sugar, unrefined sugar, brown sugar, unrefined brown sugar, pasturized honey, unpasturized honey, bulgarian unpasturized honey, sucralose, white stir-sticks, brown stir-sticks, black stir-sticks, white coffee cups, and finally black coffee cups, because you wouldn't want to offend someone's taste in coffee.

  Oh, did I mention you need (both in caffinated, decaffinated, and half decaf, half regular, (all in normal and organic)) coffee brewed in a perculator, a bodum, expresso machine, and boiled on the stove.

  Just so you don't offend anyone's sexual coffee preferences.

  Wait a minute! Walter wants his roasted before it's ground - so be sure to do that!

  I take mine pure. Well french pressed would be better than dripped, but at least I don't hide the real coffee underneath.

  Wifey needs to reform. But she doesn't remember what coffee tastes like nowadays.

  Strong and black and run through a perculator.

  I grind my own, and normally use Eight O' Clock French roast as my everyday coffee. I do get lazy sometimes though and will make Maxwell House in my Gevallia drip machine.

  These beans are good too: Starbucks Sumatra

  Central Markets Ethiopian Yergacheffa

  Gevallias Costa Rican Peaberry

  Ever try making coffee with one of these? I found one in a garage sale about 30 years ago and it made great coffee - after I learned how to use it. Wish I still had it.

  Finally-Free,

  Didn't expect to have such a chilling flashback on a thread about coffee. That double glass bowl gizmo was very popular back when I was a little kid. Most in the US were made by Proctor-Silex. The problem with them was that they were very dangerous. When the boiling water was sucked up into the top bowl it became very top heavy and unstable. I was two years old when one of these tipped over just as I was in front of the stove. The boiling coffee missed my face but caught me from my upper chest down. When my mother pulled my t-shirt off, my skin came with it. I still bear a scar today. Not too bad, but it shows as a large pink patch on my chest when I go into cold water.

  By the way, for good coffee, boiling (212 f) should be avoided as it cooks the volatile oils out of the grounds and the coffee only tastes good if drank immediately. The oils turn it bitter very quickly. 180-190 f is perfect and most modern equipment is designed this way.

  Gregor, I'm glad your accident wasn't worse, but it was bad enough. I don't know about back then, but these days the manufacturer would likely get sued, and rightly so. The one I had was very top heavy too, and I sometimes wondered if it wasn't missing parts that might stabilize it. I couldn't leave it unattended, and held it upright while wearing oven mitts.
