San Francisco French roast from Costco
I get their Whole bean, grind as needed.
Last Christmas I bought myself an espresso maker. Best $99 I've ever spent. Every morning I make myself a double shot and add a little hot water. No
cream or sugar, just dark, foamy crema from the machine. Rich and tasty.
While camping, either French press or Melita paper filter...or whatever someone else offers who wakes up before me!

Switched from coffee to tea a few years back. Easier to brew and enjoy all the different flavors.

I have to switch to something lighter too as I think my morning JAG is becoming a health issue. My favorite cup might just be one made from a generous
portion of Combate Mexican coffee in a classic cotton filter cone with boiling water drizzled over the grounds into my big mug. Add a spoon or two of
Swis Miss chocolate power and a little more sweetener, and I'm ready to enjoy. I can also drink reheated day old coffee the same way. I don't know if
this makes me a survivor or a barbarian.

I had a dream....
Last night I dreamed I saw a place called "Starbucks" and went in looking for nice hot cup of coffee. I read a sign about some $5 stuff called..
latte
mocha joka
cappacino
espresso
depresso
double late or never
machismo
staple your eyes open
Tomorrow night I'm gonna dream about where and when Mrs. Olsen will open a "Folgers" @ $1 cup?
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

I love great coffee but when I'm having a caffeine withdrawal I will stick my mouth under the three-in-one nozzle at Oxxo if that's what's available.
Still, though, at home in California I usually drink three cups a day... cappuccino in the morning (how to froth milk without a fancy machine: get a
cheap French press, put hot milk in it, and pump the press up and down through the milk 20 times), then espresso at 10 and again after lunch.

Trader Joe's French Roast--make good and strong with a Melitta filter. Will splurge on some Peet's (Major Dickason's Blend) sometimes though its not
quite the same coffee as the old days---by which I mean if you ever had a cup of their coffee at the Shattuck Ave or other early places in the Bay
Area---whooooaa baby. Coastal Peaks in SLO is awesome too---Bishop Peak's and Deep Mahogany Blends

Coffee story.
A few years ago, while washing it, I broke my French Press container. Damn! It was a special present and I was disappointed in my clumsiness. That
day I roamed many stores in the city looking for an exact replacement...nada. Then I came across a Sharper Image boutique in the Mpls Mall.
Eureka!...found one! (cost a lot, but what the hey).
Got it home and intended to use it the next morning for our usual coffees. Well, she got the coffee ready before I had a chance, gave me my cup..and
then said, "Dear, I saw the broken glass in the garbage. You should let me shop for these things...you didn't remove the sticker and you paid too
much."
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

My wife is a LooongIsland raised Brit who inspired me to enjoy da coooffeee wid her. So I ended up with this setup:
Of course we have a couple of French presses and a rarely used coffee maker but that Rancilio gets a daily workout. I don't like to drink coffee all
day but when I have a cuppa, I want to enjoy it to the max......

I like Café du Monde coffee from New Orleans. When I ran out, I bought some chickory and add it to grounds on a 1:3 ratio (1 part chickory to 3 parts
coffee).

Mitch, have you ever made ca phe sua da (Vietnamese iced coffee)? You use the Café du Monde in a filter like this: http://www.koracoffee.com/images/KOR_VietnamesePhin/PhinFron... (set filter on cup, remove inner dealybob, put coffee under, put dealybob back in,
pour boiling water to lip of thing).
Then you mix it with lechera/condensed milk and pour over ice.
