Oh, man.
Did you ever hear anything via paypal or an email or anything?
I've never ordered a shipment from there so I'm not sure how it goes.
I think he roasts on Tuesdays, and then likely ships it the next day.
So it very well could be due in any day now!

But seriously, I love all types of coffee - the brewing method makes for so many different experiences.
Yeah, I'm not usually one to disparage brewing methods (other than perc), I mean one of my favorite methods is cowboy coffee, but I'd rather just have real espresso or drip. Not something kinda in between.
I don't like Americanos either.

I got my coffee mill in today.
It's a knockoff, not the real deal (even though I ordered it through Amazon).
It didn't even come with some of the stuff it was supposed to have.
Amazon is shipping me a proper one overnight, which is nice.
Bummed I don't get to play with it today, but that's okay, I can be patient.
That is a bummer. I hope you get a real one as a replacement soon.

Perc is always worth disparaging!

Perc is only good is you wanna smell the coffee and not drink it.
Kinda like coffee incense.

I mean, until I can reasonably make 12 cups of coffee via some other method, percolator for life.

Drip coffee - that's the way 90% of Sweden does it. Got two drip filters at home, one that does around 400ml of brew, the other that does around 1,5 L.

You can probably DIY one out of a 55 gallon oil drum.
That should make enough coffee for an army.

Pneumatically-actuated PVC French press?
Kinda like a potato gun?

I was a barista for nearly 10 years, and I remain a proud coffee snob.
I'm all over the map when it comes to growing regions. Lately I've been enjoying a nice Tarrazu from Costa Rica.
As far as brewing methods, I've got most everything you could imagine at home but I mostly use either a Chemex or Clever dripper.

I enjoy a good cup of La Minita myself.

Rwanda Karenge is the bean of the week this week.
Never tried a bean from Rwanda, so this should be fun.

Yep. When I'm not using one of the moka pots I use a 2 cup Clever Dripper. Fantastic thing, but I'm only going to start using it more when I get a better grinder.
