Yeah, we use distilled water. As in brewing beer, good water is the first step.

The coffee this morning is Timothy's® Midnight Magic Extra Bold Coffee.
Description: "This tangy blend is dark, sweet and powerful. Created to harmonize the body and sweetness of top quality Arabica coffee with the spiciness of West Coast roasting. This rich and robust coffee is a powerhouse that will perk up your day". This stuff is strong. Slight acidic/aspirin bitterness on the finish, like a West Coast IPA. Why is the fact that it's an 'Arabica' coffee highlighted? What's so great about Arabica coffee? I smell marketing afoot.

In the cup this morning is Green Mountain Coffee Vermont Country Blend® Coffee.
From their website: Green Mountain Coffee's tribute to their home state. This coffee is crafted to comfort and inspire. I do feel inspired. I'm giving these brewers as Christmas gifts. Yeah, I'm an atheist but I give Christmas presents. I'm a complex man.

Mostly undeserved, I can assure you.

I was at Costco just before closing last night and found some Dunkin' Donuts Blend.
I'm having a cup now and, while it's nothing to write home about, I'm willing to write to Ohio. The brewing process was unusual this morning because I slept in and my wife made the coffee. We normally coarse grind our beans and brew them in a french press. Since this coffee is pre-ground medium, she used an Alfi carafe, which, while it can make good coffee, takes practice. We were also out of distilled water. I'll try again tomorrow, but I'm guessing this coffee is mainly going to be nostalgia trip for me. I do have fond memories of meeting fellow students and drinking coffee at Dunkin' Donuts as an undergrad at U.T. El Paso. I figured D.D. were out of business. We haven't had any around in the Northwest for a long time. I'm not sure they were ever popular up here. Are they a going concern in Ohio? |

A bit off topic, but would you like a gratis jar of this?: Gaede Swastika Brand Honey in the following 11 flavors Whiskey Cinnamon Wild Sage Orange Wildflower Cracked Pepper Lemon Sweet Hot Pepper Pumpkin Spiced Smoked Chipolte Mint Smoked Campfire This honey is raw grade A and GMO free with all natural flavoring and cold processed to retain its nutritional value. It was produced in the Sierra Mountain foothills of California where my father runs his cattle ranch and brands his cattle with the swastika brand which is a symbol that can be traced back to 3000 BC. It has been used by the ancient Trojans, Native Americans, Buddhists and Hindus as well as by American cattlemen, a WWI American Army Division, the Boy Scouts and Coca Cola as a symbol of good luck. This symbol is also considered a sacred symbol for the Nordic people.

Smoked Campfire has got to be interesting at the very least. We should send one to Giles.

I made a New Year's resolution to abstain from coffee.
I'm sure coffee is not a health hazard when drunk in moderation, but previous attempts at moderation have failed for me, so I'm going for complete abstention. If I violate this resolution, I'm going to post a notification of it on this thread. |

I'll probably be learning a lot about tea over the next year. Do you mind if I post about it on this thread? I'm reluctant to start a tea thread for fear the Brits (Bev in particular) could hijack it. |

I would welcome it. I'm pretty tea-ignorant at this point.

If you mean the plastic K cup you can create yourself w/ground coffee, no.
It would kind of defeat the simplicity purpose if you ask me. Unless someone was really into coffee and wanted to create a blend of their own I guess.

For all their snobbery, the English know nothing about tea, which inevitably rotted aboard English ships during transport from Asia. Unwilling to accept their losses, the English proclaimed a preference for this spoilage, which became known as "Black Tea". This aberration spread to the Scots and Irish, and eventually made its way to the most distant shores of Western civilization where White Nationalists are plagued by its vestiges to this very day. When the ostensibly prim and proper Bev extols the virtues of her beloved Yorkshire Gold, beware of a profound evil, which lurks just below the surface. |

Black teas have a history as old as any other type of tea.
Black teas which have been blended with other herbs (Earl Gray and Lady Gray, for one thing) are awful, though. People can do so much with the leaves of the one plant, so why mix it with other plants? |

For you scurvy dogs lacking vitamin C, try some Pine Needle Tea.
Remember to simmer but not boil. |
