Thread: tea or coffee

Tea or Coffee eh?

Interesting...

and shed rules apply....double the coffee....halve the water

Third option is cop out, anyone who opts for that deserves to be drinkin old dishwater. If you can't make a simple choice like that how do you expect to get on in life? Really, if someone is making you a cuppa it is not any easier to make what they are having compared to making what you want

I drink both dependent on where when and what types are available.

Coffee, as long as it isn't instant, otherwise I'll pass thanks.

beer for me

Coffee, double espresso, made with manual espresso machine using no more than 25 mL water and 14 or more g of espresso blend beans roasted more than 24 hours and less 168 hours. No sugar, Grappa correction optional.

yeah, espresso....freshly roasted and made at home.... but with sugar. Sorry Bob, I'm not enough of a purist yet.

Nice shots Martrix!

Here is some naked portafilter shots.

drool. Ive seen those type of naked shots before. Is that a pic of your own modded portafilter?

It's coffee for me, instant or filtered, currently on about 8 cups a day.
My kids tell me it's not good for me but you know the how the old saying goes. Here for a goodtime not a long time.

Cheers Fred

Yep I have 5 portafilters, single, double, 2 nakeds (one to take a 16 g basket) and a sealed one for cleaning and pressure testing.

20 Tons of Lemon Scented gum came into the yard today. The arborist was limited by the 3.5 tons max of the Hiab so the biggest diam (~1.3m diam) pieces are about 2.4 m long. We'll have to drag out the 48" bar to cut those. There are about 8 pieces all up including some awesome crotches with about 5 branches coming out close together.

Need I tell you? But it has to be Earle Grey. And I like Dilmar. Twinings is week as dishwater. No sugar, and just a drop of milk. And made with BOILING water. Not boiled 2 minutes ago. It makes a difference, I'm telling you. You actually get a cup of tea that makes you go "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah!", instead of wondering why you bother.
