Nasty pod coffee at our place in Florida. Looking forward to a return to my home roasts and the la marzocco (and my system). Enjoying tidal on the road though.

Hare bender from Stumptown roasters in Portland, OR.
Starbucks seems over roasted to me.

Anyway, I purchased two boxes of the Ethiopia Yirgacheffe about two months ago and I have to say, it was pretty damn good!

I hate snobs.
My process is quite simple. Mazer Grinder adjusted daily to yield 18 grams of ground espresso beans brewed with RO water at 202.4 F to produce 32 grams of espresso in as close to 24 seconds as possible.

Sachet's of Nescafe. A pure torture method of gettin' dat caffeine. Do they do a pill instead? Your Rad suffered in the trenches big time.
