Meh, I don't think that would make the cigar taste too awesome. Kinky sure, maybe I'd use the cheap swisher sweets for that.

He actually behaves most of the time in this thread, as to not jeopardize the integrity of it's purpose :tiphat: :p

^ Truth. The best behavior in my entire life can be witnessed in this thread.

By the way, I know that canned coffee is little better than boxed wine, but do you folks have any you like that is NOT from starbucks/seattle's best? I used to take a canned starbucks espresso with me to work, but I haven't had either of those brands since the boycott.

Also, I asked this in another thread, but this seems like an appropriate place. Any of you have someone who cleans your house? If so, what do you pay? I found on some other boards most people are paying .035 per sq/ft, or ~$20 an hour. I'm thinking about doing this but I keep seeing comments like "well, it's not as good as if I had done it myself." Thoughts?

Cuff links, anyone?

I like World Market coffee..... do you have those in Phoenix? They have quite a few varieties from around the world, and their prices blow away the super market and Starbucks. :ugh2:

I have a Keurig brewer at home and at work, so that's all I drink these days. Colombian Fair Trade Select is my absolute favorite... great stuff.

I do it myself. I am very neat, and everything has it's place, so cleaning is not hard, just takes time. I must have a lot of dead skin though, because my house seems to be a dust magnet :p

We have those at work. Every morning I have a double "Kona Select" when I get there :p

Kona Select is good!

I'll have to try your Columbian Fair Trade Select, they have them, I just always reach for the Kona :p

At my age, the phrase "Columbian Select" brings back different memories of college days gone by ;)

Never had it. I make my own lattes and mochas on the weekends, but on weekdays I just like to get going.

I'm not a coffee expert so I'll this one out. lol

:bowrofl:

I love the stuff so much... it's classically balanced, vibrant and complex with a splash of ripe fruit. It's the perfect medium blend, IMO.

I have to be honest, I pegged you for a coffee drinker for some reason

I'm not finding the canned version 6-strings. Are you talking about the plastic k-cup things?

Trip is just lying to us. He's really Chef Robert Irvine in real life.

Shhhh. :bowrofl:

Do you have a good machine? I have been looking for a good, reasonably priced pump machine that works with your own grind, as well as pods......... any suggesstions?

Damn, they even look alike :roflpuke2: :bowrofl:

Bump

I don't anything too special. Delonghi

DeLonghi EC155 Pump Espresso Machine 1100 Watts***Today's Special !

i get my coffee from a guy i work with he roasts his own beans and he makes some really nice blends

Yea, there seems to be some decent machines like yours, and a solid group in the $200 to $400 range ................ I refuse to spend $700 to $1,000 on a machine, although many do.

I got this bad boy

you lost me on this one, sorry.

That's some dedication! I bet it's delicious though.

Yeah, I think any more than $200 and I would just keep going to coffee houses.

Is the stuff you were talking about a ready to drink canned coffee?

Do you get to bring stuff like this on the boat, or is strictly for the house?

I've been thinking of bringing my coffee maker to work.

If you mean the ones Steve and I were discussing, yes, it is the Keurig pod machines. The World Market coffees are whole bean, but you should have a grinder bud, if you don't, buy one :tup:

Breville seems to make nice machines, I have looked hard at them as a final choice :tup:

nope just a siemens drip maker at work that one is just for home. wife don't drink coffee so it does me well

I'm off to bed guys, see you tomorrow :tiphat:

* Capresso 501 Capresso Cool Grind Krups Coffee Grinder 3 1/2 Oz Black.
* 100 watt electric coffee grinder.
* Low heat buildup preserves coffee bean flavor while grinding.
* Large capacity–grinds up to 15 cups of coffee.
* Pulse action grinds coarse or fine.
* Stainless-steel blade.

Later man

$20? Not too bad at all.

nope and the low heat is the key

That looks like it would be useful. Keurig sells a mesh K-cup for your own grounds... I'd get the grinder and the mesh k-cup w00t.

Has many links to some of the finer things in life: :tup:

Fine Living - AskMen.com

While it certainly doesn't qualify as a "finer thing in life" by itself, it provides me with a 16 oz cappuccino every single morning that rivals any coffee shop, at the fraction of the cost.
