Oh, great.
Now Shibumi’s going swishy.
Just buy some freakin’ Folgers and nut up, soldier!
Oh well, at least Eaker will have someone to talk to.
Or crochet doilies with.
Caffeine content?!?
You want caffeine content???
YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE CAFFEINE CONTENT!
I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to people who enjoy the products of my nervous energy and then question the manner in which I obtain it.
Do I *LIKE* Double Espresso Mocha Latte with B Vitamins, Ginseng and Taurine? YOUR GODDAM RIGHT I DO!
What do you mean “swishy”? I’m being charged with being “swishy”? Take your hands off me!
..... or, I could start drinking again.
Then my posting will resemble a meld of Dylan Thomas, T.S. Eliot, Harry Lauder and some bad Irish Folk Band.
Coffee fix:
“WARNING - Not to be taken internally!” - Slings and Arrows
In 12 cup drip percolator pot, fill to 6 cup mark with water.
In filter, put 6 heaping scoops of coffee.
Medium roast works best, just make sure it’s a robust blend.
Found a maxwellhouse ‘medium roast’ that was rather anemic.
Put pinch of salt in filter, about as much as it would take to cover the surface of a dime with one even layer.
This keeps the coffee from tasting burned too quickly, it doesn’t age well brewed this way.
Brew, recirculate if need be, usually not.
Add sugar and dairy creamer.
Creamora and coffeemate are not recommended unless you like the heart racing that Ranger Pudding gives.
That, and the nondairy creamer will give you both a headache and a buzz with the coffee.
I usually put about 8 spoons of sugar in this stuff, it ends up being like Russian Kava, thick and sweet with that bitter overtone to it.
Oh, and I am NOT responsible for seeming demonic possession of the coffeepot, or the coffeepot ending up acting as if it has been damaged.
Be sure NOT to add creamora or coffeemate to the brew, unless you LIKE ranger pudding style heart racing.
When I brew that stuff for myself, I recirculate the stuff to brew a second time, but that’s me for my own personal enjoyment, and it may wreck the coffeepot.
Don’t forget the salt, it’s important to the finished brew.
Keep humble and the coffee away from any wildlife.
Humble’s field expedient chainsaw: attach a random beaver to long insulated pole, then forcefeed the coffee sludge to said beaver.
Once max jaw Bites Per Second are achieved, apply hyper-speed beaver to tree until either the tree is dust or beaver explodes.
Repeat as needed.
You misspelled “you’re”.
:-P
Mine already do and I never touch the stuff.
Explain that.....;D
That’s why I love reading what you write.
Makes me feel like I’m back in Sweeney’s Tavern in 1969.
Oh, great.
So you’re saying I blabber like a semi-lucid but deranged drunk?
Glad I can entertain you.
:-P
I guess that’s one of the nicest things I’ve ever said.
(Nothing more boring than “normalcy” you know.)
Boy...I bet you would have *loved* my drunken ramblings, then....:D
But Kava is so thick and bitter.
MY stuff at leat has some movement to it.
