It's a double blessing any time we get to help another, a blessing both ways, for the one helped and the helper. This is a lesson which I shared in learning with Fletcher in one instance, and with BooDawg in another. At Facelift 2012.
This demonstrates that phenomenon.

I was able to thank nita and Karen the flyy girl for their assistance with the rocketry and stovery involved in making Mousie's morning ritual. I wish to call to everyone's attention their willingness to share. Thanks again.

I think back to the day and here's Mathis arising, or attempting to do so, and I'm up and at the stove, boiling coffee. We had this ritualistic thing we went through every morning we made coffee. I guess it was a ritual, no, more of a silly routine. The tag line involved was:

"Mousie, I want some caw-fee. I shore would like some caw-fee, Mousie. Mousie? Make me some caw-fee, OK?"

I've mentioned before that Mort hempel, leaving the Valley to seek other things, gifted the Reverend Mathis with a Chemex caw-fee maker, the next thing to sliced bread, IMO, but by then my life had led to Berkeley, home of wondrous coffee offerings.

My coffee hang-out of choice is the Coffee Bandits, located on Main in the Merced Theater arcades, next to the yoghurt shop. They have a beautiful establishment and it's a homey place, with a piano, a guitar, bookage, gameage, and an outdoor seating area, because you can't drink coffee without smoking a cigaret. I've tried. It sucks.
Bandits is no less expensive than Starbuck's a block further up Main, but it has soul.

Then there's this: http://www.camp4coffee.com/

I'd like to extend my warmest wishes for a hot cup of coffee on a cold-ass rainy day like today. I'm sure Mark will provide one for his angel if he asks, too.

Funny you should mention that, Locker.
My favorite bean is the Sumatran Mandehling, "...a strong distinctive flavor. Rich and bold, a sure workout for the senses, thi one will leave you very satisfied."

I remember when I first found this variety of bean that I described it to her in these terms, "It remkinds me of what the forest floor might taste like if you strained it, boiled that. It's good, though."

I was blessed to instruct her in the ways of making good French Roast, Sumatran, and to experiment with blending. And to enjoy it without sweeteners. She reciprocated in delightful ways (I can't go there). The net effect, cribbage and coffee and cigarets. Then she quit smoking. The games continued. I kicked her butt because my smoking distracted her, I like to think.

I would drink many cups of joe a day at virtually all the jobs I had where it was practical. And the coffee break is an established ritual in our culture.

That's a good one, Sleepre, is it meant to be ironic?

Here's to "I, Ronnie, do solemnly swear..."

Because I looked for the topic in a search! I don't like to duplicate threads.

It's like walking into church, for a lady who just got a new dress, and seeing her friend wearing it! Sorry, lad. But is it grounds?

"A twelve ounce regular coffee with an added shot of espresso." That would be the notorious "Depth Charge." When adding the second shot, call it a "Red Eye." If a third is added, it's called "I need a larger cup, please." Add shot #4 and it's a "Jose Cuervo," because he always brings along several of his little friends. If you get bold, add number five, call and ambulance! Number six and it's a "Firing Squad." And

But this little review in my local papeer.

No, acutally, this is from Chowbella, the website: not to be mis-matched with Chowchilla, the city south of Merced, home of all that's good and rare...

Let's count downthe menu offerings from absolute best to absolute worst.
7. Seattle's Best Coffee. If the line at Starbucks is too long, you could do a lot worse than Taco Bell's coffee. Granted they haven't sunk as many dollars into their brew as McD's, but it's hot, full of caffeine, and cheap. If you're feeling fancy, they have vanilla and mocha iced lattes too.
With coffee being the best thing on Taco Bell's new "First Meal" menu, abandon hope all ye who enter here...

When I worked the kitchen crew in Toulumne Lodge in the late 80's there were a couple women who had Pete's mailed in. I wasn't much of a coffee drinker at the time but things change. Now I love the stuff and always look for more robust and flavourful beans. Climbing and coffee the enduring legacy. I think Nita was working there during that time period as well.

Top secret recipe for prospectors' coffee.

1. Boil water.

2. Throw coffee into water; boil some more.

3. (Important) Strain coffee through a sock. For extra flavour and points, use a dirty sock.

4. Drink.

But that's how Tim Hortons stores have always done it. Great rule of thumb for them: Use a fresh dirty sock each day.

Hint: Filtered cigaret butts, though dear, add further "authority" to the cheapest of coffees. Try it. Chock full o' Butts. Clean climbers do their thing for a taste of that nec-toer.

a neat taco friend sent me some:

kick ass coffee (that's the name, not me being 'un-neebee-like)
and well, seems it lived up to it's name...


the ol' coffee cup--a neat glass masonjar one, with a handle--now, sorely missed--seemed to kick on out of hand, as i tried to set it down for to
fix a windchime, outside (not the one from you, john, it's a-okay) AND:
WELL, I LOST the rest of the coffee to the cement sitting-stone below, and, to the dirtiness of the grass--after but a few lovely sips...

yep, lost the ol' cofffee cup, too (as to the read, above)...

wow--powerful stuff and not even whiskied-up...

well:
it's from 'kicking horse' company(?)
and roasted in canada...

aha aHA!--northern hard-trail-needs, NEED robustness...
THAT explains, it, :)
:)

yep, for sure, that may explain it...

good to last drop if you can get it...
and strength for whatever hardships the ol' trail offers,
even if only fixing windchimes... :)


*which by the way are swinging wide-and-wild now--not due to
fighting-off gettng fixed ,mind you, but:

winter storm, first of season,
is a'blowing in right about now...
yep--i need some powerful coffee, though i'm staying indoor today:
one MUST brave the ol' yard, at least, for the ol' pup-dog's
needs...
*she likes company, as she THEN thinks to get
play time after her 'needs' are done...

seeems like 'play time' is an equally needed need...

let's hope the kicking-ass-type of coffee (by name only, not an uncouth neebee)is powerful stuff in a more subtle way, this time... ;)
being that i just love it...:)



well--happy good supertopo morn to you, and may you enjoy
a good cup of coffee.. any or all of you, (unless you prefer, tea, orange-juice or coacoa) :)
...
and, may--the fellowship of family, friends, or just 'being

In a Finnish study from 2000, those who drink more than 7 cups of coffee have an increased suicide risk compared to moderate Finnish coffee drinkers. The Finns have some of the highest coffee consumption in the world and one of the higher suicide rates.

Question: Do Finns enjoy iced coffee?

Swede

Swede is a root vegetable that is a big source of vitamin C. It is also known as Rutabaga or Swedish turnip. Its root is used in various types of dishes and its leaves are used as a separate leaf vegetable. These are widely used as non-food items as well, like for Halloween.

un cafetal en Naranjo
Aug 5, 2013 - 01:41pm PT
coffee,

yes, to me it means this


but it also means this


I'm lucky to live in a place where coffee is king. This is practically in my back yard



and when I need to recreate the easiest option is to take a walk through beautiful coffee fields. We live right on the border of a big Cooperative farm and there are kilometers of farm roads. The cafetales are great for birding as there are still plenty of trees and small forest patches. I'll occasionally run into a Jaguarundi (small wild cat), Coyote, Gray Fox, Coati, or Aguti (big rodent).





looks like it is going to be a good harvest this year, which will start in December here. There appears to be little effect from the rust fungus, so far.



Naranjo is one of the top quality producing regions in a country known for good coffee. A local farm just won the annual coffee taste-off. Here's a blurb from the local English language newspaper, the Tico Times:

Twenty international judges evaluated more than 30 Tico coffee samples and determined that Costa Rica’s best coffee is produced in Naranjo, Alajuela, at 1,650 meters above sea level, and in San Marcos de Tarrazú, south of the capital.

Two coffee processing centers, or beneficios, located in these cantons took the top spots in the "2013 Costa Rica Cup of Excellence" Friday evening.

Of the 30 samples tested, 22 surpassed the minimum qualification of 85, needed to participate in a worldwide online auction that will take place on June 19.

Oldermar Arrieta and his wife, Marlene Brenes, are the owners of “Beneficio Vista al Valle" in Naranjo, where they sell their coffee. Now they expect to sell it across the country.

They were extremely happy for the win, especially since the company is 100-percent family-run. The couple operates the farm and beneficio with only the help of three children.

Last year’s Cup of Excellence was won by Beneficio Brumas del Zurquí, from Heredia. Representatives of Costa Rica in the global auction were able to obtain up to $45 a pound for their coffee.

Judges said they were impressed with the quality on display at this year's competition, especially since a decrease in international coffee prices and losses caused by coffee rust fungus have affected many coffee farms in Costa Rica. It is estimated that more than 90 of the farms affected are run by small farmers.


so, ya, keep the Jo flowin'

$45 per pound? Who pays that? Anything that good must be illegal. ;-)

Nice shots.

Sadly, bean stocks are still at an alltime high so combined with the
expected record harvest in Brasil prices for the average producer will
remain low, as in about $1/lb. I don't get how that translates into $8-10
per pound at the store. Well, I know but it isn't right.

[Click to View YouTube Video]The more the merrier but,
at the same time, the less caffeine the better.

I have had to limit my intake recently of fresh, aromatic, and enticing-but-toxic-to-my-heart coffee.

Just cuz there ain't no buzz does not mean it needs to be eliminated.

Tea still has no authority over me
cuz Lord Coffee still rules.
A brand to trust.

I've been making the switch to tea. It seems cleaner.
