    @Darkest Daze: Coffee itself is already an addiction for so many people, why not have dual-purpose paraphernalia?

    I only drink coffee in which the beans have been roasted by the warm loving intestines of unicorns...sh@t out into the glorious golden pots of leprechauns, then purchased by Jack himself in [fair] trade for a worthless cow.

    Is this next weeks theme, "Coffee-o-philes"? Articles about the quest for beans pooped out of cats?

    That first picture is beautiful, making an ordinary coffee carafe look like a golden Holy Grail--which, given that this is supposedly the elusive yet much sought after perfect cup of coffee, is appropriate.

    I use a Mr Coffee and a pre-ground (french roast) from a national brand and I have yet to try any "designer" coffee via any brewing technology that tops the taste, price or convenience of it. Call me a coffee pagan, but its my third favorite vice and I am very happy.

    @Curves: Also, a .50-.75 cup of coffee sold at a street cart can taste much smoother than the coffee sold at your local Starbucks.

    @Curves: try grinding your own beans and using filtered water, in fact make 2 pots one using the pre ground crap and tap water, the other with whole freshly ground beans and filtered water and if you can't tell the difference you can fill a third pot with piss and drink that because you prolly wont taste the difference there either

    @Curves: Just an FYI if you have asthma: the FDA allows a shocking amount of roach matter (roaches love mounds of coffee beans) to be ground and incorporated in the package you pick up at a store. Since the majority of people are allergic to roaches, many people with respiratory problems or asthma unknowingly exacerbate their symptoms by using pre-ground coffee.

    @Claytons: wow, did not know that. Thank god i've been drinking only fresh, local-roasted (no roaches in WI) and grind my own


    @Curves: Get yourself some kind of press and a grinder. To quote mark twain, you will not regret it if you live. Most people are used to weakened cafeeinewater that passes for coffee these days, and so you probably will need to dilute it (AFTER you brew it full strength, of course) until you get used to the actual flavor of coffee.

    @lpranal: @bosskev: Another disgusting FDA fact, the amount of cockroach allowed in a chocolate bar is roughly equivalent to all of a cockroaches leg mass.


    That is likewise pretty nasty.
