Ours is never the same. But right now it's Costco French Roast cut with some other beans that have vanilla. Around Halloween, we were cutting it with some pumpkin spice beans. Otherwise, it's just straight FR.

We brew with this combo from Cuisinart. We've had this for about two years. Holds 8oz of coffee in the sealed hopper. Burr grind. Timer. Gold basket. Has selectors for strength (amount of beans per pot) and grind (fine or coarse).

But it DOESN'T empty the old grounds and fill itself with water. :fire:

And here I thought living in the 21st Century was going to be easy......

Coffee times.

You never know when or where you'll get that urge for caffeine...a good cup of Joe. In this case, it was this giant tribute to coffee along our Alaska trail that made us pull over.

And...you'll want your favorite cup, right?



It's easy enough to make gourmet coffee at home anytime you want, given all our modern conveniences. And that coffee does indeed taste GREAT!

On the other hand, when camping or just simply roughing it for a day or two...nothing can beat a good cowboy campfire coffee.




Might be that the wonderful clean air makes it better...and the way you make it over the morning fire.






I'm thinking of building a campfire in the kitchen...





I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

Right Now, Espresso Italiano Whole Bean Coffee


From the Mega Comercial Mexicana in Rosarito.

We have been buying various coffee beans sourced from Mexico from this market for many years and the coffee has always been top quality and fresh.

We always buy grano (whole bean) and when you open the package, the aroma itself gives you a caffeine high.
