OK, that is one side of the ledger.
Now do the other side of the ledger.
Electricity, fuel, food, medicine, transportation, clothing, protection, education, courts, sanitation...
Before this "colonization" theses people were nomads living in animals skins, barely surviving childhood only to die a few decades later, at best, of disease, famine or a warring neighbor.
They owe the White Man trillions of dollars in reparations for their benefiting from White Man's generosity.

I have a 1950s Pyrex percolator plus, a Bialetti and and a Cuisinart programmable coffee maker. These are supplemented with an adjustable hand grinder. The Cuisinart gets used during the week and the other two get exercised on the weekend.
Best coffee for anything other than the Bialetti is Ethiopian yergacheffe. Best stuff for the Bialetti is LaVazza Crema Gusto.

Back in the early 90s, we bought out a shop down in Houston and part of the purchase included a coffee maker; the kind that plumbs into the wall. Judging from the patina on the stainless steel housing, it must have been in service for a few decades. Well we got it back to our shop and looked inside. There were more scales in the reservoir than any fish in the sea and they were about the size that you'd find on Godzilla's back.
No sweat. A little muriatic acid and a good rinse, followed by several runs with distilled vinegar and then several runs with just plain filtered water. Worked fine and last time I was in the area I stopped by to visit and that coffee maker is still in service.

FWIW, "Medium Roast" is almost always too roasted.
Most companies begin their "light", "medium", "dark" scale long after Vienna roast.
At Vienna, the "origin" of the coffee is almost gone. For blends, no one cares about origin, just coffee profiles.
OTOH, City begins at first crack and the origin slowly gives over to the taste of roast as one approaches Full City then Vienna, then French...

This is going to turn ugly real quick.
If the beans deserved respect, they wouldn't have been left over from the day before in the first place.
I will concede however, there can be times when one cannot finish all the good coffee one makes. At those times, find a better solution, perhaps akin to the disposal of a damaged and retired U.S. flag.
But for heaven's sake, don't drink it!

Turned out to be more of a PIA than I expected.
Worth it, though, as the new Kitchenaid with the SS interior is amazingly quiet. The new Kitchenaid I bought is rated at either 44 or 46 DB. Don't remember which.
We have a small house and having a quiet dishwasher means we're now able to hear ourselves think, unlike what we dealt with with the old DW.

If anything, Oberlin Collage was undercharged, as they were a hive of scum and villainy in this case. It showed how academia is evil.

As soon as it is done brewing, you turn off the heat so it does not continue to cook.. it's perfect the next day..
That said, I've been doing the single drippy cup thing lately.. I just don't drink as much coffee as I used to.. One good sized mug a day..

Posted by: ALH at June 08, 2019 09:13 AM (htgmn)
What's the opposite of a drought?
Worst flooding here since 1993. Lots of crops ruined, many homes rendered unlivable. Roads closed. People stranded.
Worst I've experienced so far is all the idiot drivers who seem to slow down when the river comes in view, gawking at its swelled levels and disappeared banks...
Not many things I hate more than rush hour road tourists. Accidents, dead animals, cars pulled over, and now floods... come on, people, drive your freakin' cars!

Cold brew is good. I don't know about any pre-brewed ones, but at home, just leave grounds in cold water overnight and then filter, then add it to hot water to reconstitute. Less acid, I think, than traditional brewing.

I guess that the doohicky Milady uses to make her coffee every morning. Too much fuss and bother for me, but it smells great, so I smell her coffee and drink mine. (Sometimes I steal a shot of hers into my cup.)
I'd thought sometimes of pouring the pot back through the filter a 2nd time, but I figure that really wouldn't work and would probably be some kind of disaster.
I have trouble enough with a single plain Melita filter.

I tried some when it first hit our market. It was very good, but not worth the price... I wrote it off as a novelty.
But it became a status symbol for rich, pinchfaced Manhattan society women, and demand quickly outstripped supply because
1.) It's harvested from the shit of wild civets
2.) who will ONLY eat the best cherries of the native coffee, which is very good to begin with.
Well, once Susan Olivia Cuthbertson Klein and her friends just HAD to have it, the Indonesians started capturing and breeding civets, and force-feeding them seriously cheeeeap, inferior coffee cherries.
Net effect: totally unremarkable coffee that costs $150/lb.
Shhhh... nobody tell Susan.

Just cold-brew for yourself.
One can literally take the crap coffee that comes in those large metal tins and cold brew a respectable cup from it.
Cold brew is like magic in that no matter how bad the bean, goodness can still result. (Cold brewing a dark roast form Tibor right now)
I do that for any over roasts that I do. Over roasts can occur when I'm using a different bean and size, and I refuse to drink Vienna or French. I don't care for the taste of "roast".

If you want to have more caffeine, it isn't in the extraction, it begins in the bean itself. Choose a Robusto bean over the Arabica or Geisha.
Cold brew works well on Robusto because cold brew is magic on awful beans.

It was all the same coffee.
"Santo Domingo Coffee" - which is a medium roast.
The Dominicans don't have much to be proud about but they are justly proud of this coffee.
You can buy it on Amazon for the same price or cheaper than you can buy Starubucks.
Give it a whirl.
Also , on Amazon(and elsewhere,) also a great coffee, is-
"Illy Caffe Coffee Drip Dark Roast"
Great rich flavor, though it's expensive. And they make several grinds for different types of coffee makers.

Agreed on both counts. Though my experience in Texas during Katrina was that Texas pickup drivers, while fast, will at least leave lots of space when they pass you. Lousy-ana people will practically nick your bumper, they cut back in so fast.

Spoken by a true infidel.
French press is the difference between coffee being a drink and coffee being a food.
The paper filters remove not only the chunks, but the oils. The oils are what give body to the beverage.
If you don't like sediment in your French roast, then buy a better grinder or go drink Diet Coke.

Just to be clear. If you don't have the equipment to do French press correct, don't do it. Go use an Aeropress or something.
I don't want any restaurant to do French press (unless its the five star variety) because that will sour people on the experience.
French press is sort of like pr0n - leave it to the professionals.

The paper filters remove not only the chunks, but the oils. The oils are what give body to the beverage. -Blue Bird of F'ing Joy
Hadn't thought about the paper filters absorbing the oils. Interesting. We have those metal non-paper cones, which I only use when we run out of paper ones. They let some sediment through. I might have to do a taste comparison trial.

Interesting that you brought this up. I was going to mention that some of the health studies done on coffee have made a point that they only got those results from paper filtered coffee. I don't know what that means if anything as I question they MSM stories that shriek coffee is bad and then coffee is good just to sell papers. But you can do your own research, some of these studies like the coffee fights liver issues make a point of saying the results were from paper filtered drip coffee.

Arguing that prison sentences historically have "not done anything to curb Chicago's tidal wave of aldermanic corruption cases," Willie Cochran's lawyer asked a judge Thursday not to put the latest convicted ex-City Council member behind bars.
Attorney Christopher T. Grohman instead asked for probation with six months of home confinement for the 67-year-old former 20th Ward alderman, insisting that Cochran's crime does not count as a typical public corruption case.
To make his argument, Grohman pointed to a list published by the Chicago Sun-Times of 35 aldermen convicted since the early 1970s. He also made reference to last week's indictment of 14th Ward Ald. Edward M. Burke on racketeering and bribery charges - a case former 25th Ward Ald. Danny Solis helped build by wearing a wire for the feds.
This is the political system that nurtured and pushed Obama to national prominence.

I will admit to being smitten, having been to New Orleans, in the Cafe Du Monde, drinking their coffee and eating their funnel cakes (oops, I meant beignets), and thinking it was the most wonderful coffee in the world...
But every attempt to rediscover the taste was bound to fail, because most of it, I am convinced, was mind over matter.

America, which never "colonized" any Latin American territory beyond our current territory, should provide "reparations" on behalf of the Spaniards and Frenchmen and Portuguese who did, in the form of US citizenship, land, and welfare checks, because "reasons."

Still a violation of Rule of Fifteen.
There is a brand of coffee maker that will grind the beans just prior to drip brewing the coffee.

Ahem.
The United States is the number one destabilizing agent in all hemispheres and any attempt by the US to label any other nation as such must account for decades of intervention that lead to our current immigration fiasco: thousands fleeing the places the US destabilized.
The world would be a peaceful, paradisiac place, if not for that icky United States, which is responsible for all evil in the world. Open borders are just another form of reparations to atone for our sins.

Thermal carafe is good, nothing worse than boiling out the coffee; plus steam from a hot plate carafe will go back up into the coffee filter, condense and then drip back into the carafe bringing in nothing but bitterness.
The temperature thing is a bit overrated, but does have an influence on the final product. If you have the money...
Extraction plays a large role. Even extraction is required where the heated water hits the ground AND as it sinks through the grinds. I don't know what technology Technivorm is using, but it is probably far better than a Mr Coffee that sort of dribbles out the condensing boiled water from a plastic spout...

Someone on Legal Insurrection posted an interesting letter from the trustees of Oberlin about Oberlin's long-term financial problems.
I went to a liberal arts college like Oberlin, which currently charges half of its students full tuition, and gives half of its students tuition discounts, averaging half tuition. (Hint: if you pay full tuition to this institution, you are a mark.) I bet Oberlin is similar.
Oberlin had a serious recruiting shortfall, which led to a significant deficit. They fixed the shortfall, but they were successful in recruiting people who get the tuition discounts, not the people paying full freight, so that didn't help Oberlin's financial situation very much.
Long-term, the trustees are worried that the supply of marks willing to pay north of a quarter-million dollars for an Oberlin education may be drying up. (Particularly since you would have to be insane to send your son to a left-wing college with sexual kangaroo courts.)
Well, Oberlin still has a few hundred million dollars in endowment to burn through...

I think it's Trump's way of helping them save face.
They know he can do the tariff anyway if they decide to engender his mighty orange wrath.
And I'd bet at least a plugged nickel they also brought up the dread "R" word during these negotiations... Trump could topple what's left of the Mexican State in a couple of months if he cuts off the remittances along with a tariff.
They know it. We know it.
Thanks to decades of piss-poor leadership on both sides of the border, Mexico is prostrate. Any President who wanted to could make them our bitch.

It's starting to look to me that this is *mostly* CYA for the biggest IC fuckup in history: the hole in not detecting Hillary's private server and taking steps.
Thus what we might see here is not necessarily a hyperpartisan IC, but an IC that made a deal with the projected Clinton administration on their mutual motivation to not expose what a security hole Hillary's private server had been.
All the 302 and evidence destruction seems to have a common theme of covering up how much intelligence damage had been done by the server.
And I think that's why the IC has been trying to push meetings with Russian lawyers as some sort of unquestionable high treason, the information coming out is that they have been selling over one-time IC assets as "Russian contacts", such as Page, Mifsud, and Kilimnik. After all, they're lying about something that the general public doesn't have a "need to know".
At this point, I think the IC wants something drastic or momentous to happen to turn the attention to Trump and make the rest of it go away.

Can is a weasel word. So the professor can't seem to conjure up and objective facts, data points, models or any support to definitively say "will" or "will not" so we get "can" which means nothing but subjective political opinion.

Go read the story. The guy is no weasel.

I want the list of people who "say he should lose his job". For they are completely incompatible with First World Western Civilization and should be exiled to some S-Hole island or ushered off to Outer Darkness.

Now, until the 70's, that was a business college, and the campus is the former estate of Edward Everett (the businessman, not the orator, and no it's not Edward Everett Horton), so this college may not have died of the same causes affecting other Bennington-area institutions. The architecture may be better too.

This is a no-brainer. If you put up homeless shelters--you get more homeless; more soup kitchens, more hungry.
If you have methadone clinics and rehab---you'll get more junkies.
And all of this means more crime.
And yet--every big city does this.

To be a leftist, you have to believe two contradictory things simultaneously:
1) Nothing is more important than having a skilled work force. All Americans should go to college, because the future of the American economy depends on it.
2) Letting tens of millions of unskilled laborers into the United States benefits the United States.

Leftists in Portland constantly assert that the way to cure homelessness in Portland is to provide the homeless with free housing.
That will work wonderfully.
They are also confused that every time Portland increases spending on homeless, the homeless problem in Portland gets worse.

I spent 3 months in Costa Rica, many years ago, and remember drinking much coffee that was made that way. Good, but not good enough for me to want to switch from my ancient Phillips cone filter drip machine. Just replaced the stainless steel "permanent" filter cone a couple of weeks ago after the mesh came free of the plastic frame.

Actually, the homeless problem is a great example of the power of economic incentives. Even drug-addled homeless people can figure out how to migrate to the cities where they will receive maximum benefits. (In Portland, the homeless migration is even seasonal, since winters in Portland are less pleasant than in California.)
In Portland, you get abundant homeless services, free needles, and a lack of law enforcement directed at junkies and meth heads.
You don't get that in Boise.

One side said "Tostido y molado para el gusto Hispano", roasted and ground for the Hispanic taste.
And I'd always forget and go look to see what they told the Anglos and it was "dark roasted espresso coffee" or something similarly anodyne.
They've cleaned that up now.

I buy that from WalMart when I am in AZ. It's good coffee, and cheap.

And then, of course, leftists in Portland blame Boise for "exporting their homeless problem" to Portland. They alternate this with claiming that all homeless people in Portland are from Portland, and that no homeless person would ever move to Portland for the benefits.
It's not like the cops in Boise are forcing homeless people onto buses to Portland at gun point.

Trump beat Hillary by only nine points in the county that Boise is in, which makes it one of the bluest parts of Idaho. (Trump beat Hillary by 32 points in Idaho.)
The Californians may change Boise, but it is going to take a while.
