Guest LilBambi Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I don't know, but it may not have been around for long? WOT has not had time to check it out yet. And there is no indication where the server is located ... that could be problematic. Why no indication where the server is located? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abarbarian Posted July 14, 2014 Author Share Posted July 14, 2014 $60 for a french-press coffee maker? and i wonder how "no fuss" cleanup would be. A quick tap and a rinse is my guess looking at its construction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt.Crow Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 You have to admit that coffee making has gone a bit off the wall. What ever happened to the pot the ranch hands used to put on the stove to boil up the grounds. Is it true they used to float an eggshell on top to catch up the coffee fat.

Urmas Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 "Pot coffee" is alive and well and living is summer cottages & market square cafe tents throughout Finland. Eggshells (and other stuff, such as yolk or fish scales) were used when coffee was too finely ground and wouldn't settle to the bottom of the pot. Should you ever buy ground coffee here, you'll need to make a choice: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cluttermagnet Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 (edited) Any good coffee is OK with me, but just not instant coffee. The past 2-3 years Betty and I finally started buying whole beans and grinding them pretty fine. I buy several types, and have worked out several nice blends with a pretty good 'full bodied' flavor (slightly acidic overtones). We drink our coffee black. Hi, Urmas! Nice to see you posting here.

abarbarian Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 Until I started to look at an alternative coffee maker I had no idea that coffee was such a complex cult type of drink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The past 2-3 years Betty and I finally started buying whole beans and grinding them pretty fine. [..] Try doing a coarse grind as a change of pace. And if you have a really special coffee occasion, do 3/4 fine with 1/4 coarse."coarse" = you could still tell there was once a bean involved.

Urmas Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Right after the second World War the approach and arrival of cargo ship called Herakles was followed daily in the Finnish newspapers. The cargo of Herakles was Brazilian coffee. After its arrival in the Finnish harbor of Turku the coffee was then rationed to the eagerly awaiting public. Finlandia Survey No 79 Description: President Hoover in Finland. Fire at bricklayer Möttönen’s house. Ice swimming performance by swimming club Vetehiset. Motor ship Herakles arriving in Finland with a cargo of coffee.

Cluttermagnet Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 (edited) Fascinating! You see a cluster of countries on the map, Scandinavia and the Netherlands, basically, that really like their coffee. Something they mostly have in common is their higher latitudes. Maybe all that coffee is somehow counteracting the deficit of Vitamin D seen in people in those areas. Especially in winter. All my ancestors are basically northern European types, and some of them are from those top ten coffee drinking areas. I sure love my coffee... ... or, "only" a daily staple.

Edgar Hoover (1895-1972) Suomessa Huh? The US president was Herbert Hoover. Jedgar was a law enforcement type, not a very nice man, either...

ebrke Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 I hate to be a kill-joy, but I did read that a doctor at the Harvard School of Public Health says that coffee should always be filtered through a paper filter. Coffee contains a substance called cafestol that is a potent stimulator of LDL cholesterol levels. Cafestol is found in the oily fraction of coffee, and when you brew coffee with a paper filter, the cafestol gets left behind in the filter. Other methods of coffee preparation, such as the boiled coffee common in Scandinavian countries, French press coffee, or Turkish coffee, are much higher in cafestol.

Urmas Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Huh? The US president was Herbert Hoover. Jedgar was a law enforcement type, not a very nice man, either... I missed that one totally. (Nice work Clutter, now I need to wipe coffee off my display screen.) I hate to be a kill-joy, but I did read that a doctor at the Harvard School of Public Health says that coffee should always be filtered through a paper filter. The way I read it, s/he tells that a lot of the good taste stays in the filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
