French press coffee has cafestol and kahweol in it, it can make LDL go up some but they also have anti cancer effect.

You're always telling us about the legendary time when McDonalds

I'm so disappointed in you. We eat there several times a week. Eating there makes me feel depressed. Filling up my car's gas tank is kind of a drag too. It's pretty much the same thing.

I brew some pretty good coffee but it has come to my attention that this vacuum thingamajig might be brewing at too low a temperature. I measure the water temp at 162 degrees when it should be 199. I don't know if I'll be able to tell the difference taste-wise but I'm gonna find out!

I'm not much of a milk drinker but that is an intriguing product. I'll have to be on the lookout for that. My daughter always buys almond milk so she'll probably be agreeable to buying some oat milk for her old and decrepid daddy.

I have a Yama vac pot but rarely use it, it is cool to watch it work.

Today, I brewed some coffee at the correct temperature of 199 degrees instead of the too low temperature of 163 degrees. Well waddaya know, it pretty much tasted like coffee. Well now I know.

Yoose guys ought to make an attempt to get your attributions right. I got a suggestion, don't even try to edit a post. Yeah, that's the ticket.

Attribution: the act of attributing something; especially: the ascribing of a work (as of literature or art) to a particular author or artist

I can make a proper cup of coffee. What I can't make is a cup like the one I had at Morimoto Asia restaurant. I ate at a restaurant this morning. The coffee wasn't great. I guess it was good enough because I had two cups.

Do you ever drink coffee? Not to be nosy or anything but my guess is that coffee is more a young Brit's drink. When I was in London, I did see some old Persian dudes sitting at a Costa Coffee shop. It looked to me that these guys were a permanent fixture over there.

We bought some instant coffee at the places we stayed in the UK once we realized there would be no automatic drip machines in the hotel rooms. We was glad to get it. We had some Starbucks in Liverpool. It pretty much tasted the same as in the states - harsh. The next time we're there, I'll forego the coffee and drink tea. Well, I'll try to do that anyway...

I have taken a percolator on a camping trip. It's the most wonderful way to make coffee while camping. OTOH, I'm not really a happy camper.

The thing about a percolator is that the area get filled with the smell of coffee. It's the best thing to happen to your aching body after fitfully sleeping on the hard ground. You feel like crap but then that smell starts to make you smile.
