That didn't take long. The children are out on the playground already. Wonder how long this post will run before the kids grow tired of it and it fades into oblivion.

Coffee... the elixir of the gods -- and myself but it's gotta be caffeinated or else!
Fresh ground with a touch of chocolate added equals Good Medicine, this.

pumpkin spice latte back at starbucks. official first day of fall :lol::lol:

Mulegena - something added

John M - 8-26-2014 at 06:12 PM

My wife agrees with the chocolate, her favorite - Chocolate Tequila, just a splash with the coffee!

Egg Nog Latte from Peet's...they're still good but 20 years ago they were the bomb...too bad they went corporate.

Mulegena - 8-27-2014 at 08:30 AM

What think Ye?

A Baja Nomad Screamin' Koffee Klatch Klub?
No bylaws.
We all get cups from Mike, of course.

....will we need scarves ? ;D

Mulegena - 8-27-2014 at 10:59 AM

Scarves, of course if you wish, color of your choice.
Just no pedestrian coffee, unless you really like that swill in which case bring your own.

BajaBuddha's Crik Coffee sounds great. The touch of salt is great.

Mexican goat herders make "cafe talega" which is a cotton drip bag resembling a goat udder and top it off with a fresh-squeezed squirt of milk. Very nice and a taste of Old Baja in every sip.

Coffee-Coop Group, kinda katchy.

bajacalifornian - 8-27-2014 at 11:04 AM

What an ease it is. Sitting here with my own cup, along with you and Mike!

Ask the good Captain when we'll see him again in Lopez.

motoged - 8-27-2014 at 02:14 PM

Mulegena,
The scarf choice will be easy ...

I have a cotton drip bag...it works best when left in the coffee pot and grounds and water are added as needed throughout the day (as was explained to me by a ranchero)....grounds can't be too fine or the bag clogs up...

These days "pedestrian" coffee would be "to go" :biggrin:

My preference is a French press if possible....with a nice dark roast and cream....

tripledigitken - 8-27-2014 at 07:28 PM

I've got one of these. What you don't see is a nested drinking cup. Nice kit. Got it at REI.

Mulegena - 8-27-2014 at 09:19 PM

Yes, those all-inclusive French-press drinking cups are da bomb.
Captain Mike needs to incorporate his Screaming Airlines logo.
Thanks, Baja Nomad Super Coffee Jefe Administrator.

Here's some pretty darned good info on coffee in 10 easy steps.
I 'specially like #1 and think it should be incorporated into the Nomad Coffee Coup Troop mission statement... I'll be seeing you.

....I remember in the early 80's ,the only coffee to be found was Nescafe :wow::(
.........worked okay 50/50 with Kahlua though:yes:

....what's with the green beans I sometimes see...unroasted?
......anyone use 'em?

Mulegena - 8-27-2014 at 09:48 PM

Those green beans are crap. If somebody knows different, please speak up; I'd like to know.
First, they're picked too green, then not vacuum packed so they oxidize.
Thirdly, they need to be roasted which must be done slowly over an even heat with constant stirring. Can't be done in a frying pan on a stovetop. I've seen it done a couple times, and it kicks up such a stenchy smoke everybody runs out of the house even with the windows open. Coffee from those poor beans is beyond bitter-- it's burnt.

I learned to drink coffee -- and love it -- when I lived in Yelapa over on the Mainland in the middle of a coffee plantation. Picked ripe, shade-dried, roasted fresh... now that is coffee!

chuckie - 8-28-2014 at 04:02 AM

Scarfed or Scarfless, Coffee coop groop is the plan....Since Mulegena and I are almost neighbors, easy for us. ..We'll have to work on logistics for the rest of ya-all....I got pretty partial to Café Carmelizado for a while..Roasting green beans? Product was pretty iffy...best results I had was using an old fashioned corn popper, with hand crank and doing it outdoors to avoid the fumes....

Get a sock. Or take off the one you are wearing. Put into it a handful of beans. Crush the beans with the handle butt of your Colt .45. then throw the crushed beans into boiling water. When water is rolling strain through the sock into cup. Drink it black like a man. Now you may put the sock back on.

Tried that back several years ago, got so wound up and hyped I decided to take a 'run' at 5:15 in the morning, just before light. Couldn't slow down, ended up trying to hurdle a neighbors' fence and catching my foot, and a 4' drop impaled me on the radio antenna of my neighbor's Astro.

Ended up with a bad case of Van-Aerial disease....

Sowwy......... :no:

I had that condition once. I've even had a bad case of Chirpies. It's a canarial disease and is untweetable.

.....^^....it sounds like you two should seek some online medical advice from someone you know and trust

Cypress - 8-31-2014 at 11:34 AM

Quit coffee a few years back. Switched to tea. Easier to fix and it all boils down to the same thing, a hot drink in the morning.
