Coffee making ---- For those of us who are hard core drinkers

Here is another coffee device to try....

@TerryV6, are you sure PXL didn't invent this?

I swore I saw him cleaning this.....

Ahhhh, what a bunch of jokers. You need to get out camping. It's obvious you have too munch time on your hands :-)

'Ya thinkin'? I still stick to my trusty old blue percolator, hasn't let me down in 20 years! I know what the coffee will taste like every time. 'Course it never hurts to "spice" it up a little!

Nomad

I just filled up my super 72oz thermos at a Casey's and it cost me 78 cents - lowest I've ever paid. The average over two years is around $1.50. Can hardly make coffee for that. And this new, green Stanley keeps stuff hit for around 8hrs and warm for 24.

Ratkity

Is the 72 oz Stanley the "Silo" version? Good thing you heft heavy photo equipment around.

You need to limit yourself to 2-3 cups a day...  Or so my doctor says... 



And we were camping this weekend...  Up north eh....   Was at a party with people we haven't seen in 40 years since college...   Interesting..... 

Nomad

2-3 cups is old advice - it's unlimited with healthy benefits from the latest I've seen :-)
Trouble with most food related studies is it's impossible to do longish term studies with control groups so most is theory/conjecture and at some point proven wrong.

TerryV6

But... This comment was in the humorous vein, as you were supposed to connect it to the size of the cup I included....

Nomad

if you hadn't added - "so my doctor says" :-)

ericnliz

PXL, Ok, so my resident microbiologist says..... Better?

Nomad

If you'd just left it at - "cups a day..." (full stop) ;-)

My Aeropress came today.  Made a great cup of coffee and is super easy to clean out.  Thanks for the recommendation, ChanW!  I also got the tiny @$$ grinder that JustJudy recommended.  Works great!!  Thanks!!

PXL, 

Ratkity

Your resident microbiologist confesses to drinking the unlimited Bunn Machine coffee at the local Waffle House while studying for her degrees - drinking cup after cup for hours and hours at a time. Given the time since getting said degrees and the fact your resident microbiologist is still "alive" (at least one brain cell is!!), then the 2-3 tankard cups myth is debunked!

Ratkity, You go girl!

TerryV6

Coffee is one of my few vices l have left.  I think I might have a cup that size.  I was never in any way advocating limited intake...

@TerryV6, I know you weren't. I think the cup size was just a wee small for PXL. Remember, he has a silo Stanley thermos he fills that keeps him (and possibly his T@B) running. 

Nomad

My generator is retrofitted to run on caffine fumes.

ericnliz

But wait, PXL told us it was SOLAR POWER! Wonder if he has a funnel hooked to his panel somehow??????????

Nomad

85-90% of the time I'm on solar - Do have a generator also. I save up the caffine fumes for when I need to pull that out.

That's because everybody dies before the study is over.
