Here's my stuff, as lifted from a previous thread:

Oops. Obviously my fatigue has impaired my "check previous thread" gene. Thanks for the reminder! Off to make some coffee now :)

Thanks for the profile on the Typhoon Johnny.


"Typhoons Over The Rhine"

Mk1B Typhoons of 247 Squadron, based at Eindhoven, make a low-level attack against enemy river transport on the Rhine in November, 1944. Led by Squadron Leader B.G. ‘Stapme’ Stapleton, the 247 pilots continue their attack along the valley, strafing German transport and other targets of opportunity.

Haven't tried it yet. After we finish our Starbucks, we'll give it a shot.

I recently learned that the darker the roast the LESS the caffeine. Lighter roast beans have more caffeine. (Thanks to Alton Brown and "Good Eats" for that tidbit)

Sorry about the red x's in the thread yesterday and today. It seems that my ISP has lost all my graphics.

No, say it isn't so Sam!! What a rotten break!
I would be so mad, I could probably drink some of Darksheare's coffee!!!!!

Don't forget the pinch of salt.
(I usually put it in the filter. Though once in awhile I'll toss it straight into the mug.)
Coffee that vicious will taste burned.
The salt will keep it from tasting burned for a little bit.
Coffee like this also doesn't age on the burner too well.
So it'll need to be finished off quickly.

It's the "someone hasn't gotton there BUNS out of bed" option. Snippy is taking full advantage of her vacation.

True enough, I end up using medium roast coffee beans.
(Though I do prefer the color of the darker roast, brewing it my way takes some patience and trial & error to get it to taste right.)
The medium roast seems to be the cutoff point roast-wise on flavor.
(But sometimes I have a hankering for hazelnut coffee. The only way to get my brew to be flavored is with those flavor syrups. Medium roast doesn't go well with them when brewed my way.)
