  1. I do miss this about African coffee, but honestly my tum-tum is tender and I just can't do that acid.
  2. I'm very strongly considering one.
  3. This and the Komodo Dragon are my favorites. Dark, rich flavor, but without all the acid you get from Central American & African beans.
  4. Something I did not know about the no-sell for six months rule for Orange Man Bad.
  5. This is among your least funny lines.
  6. Beat the defender so bad he's not even in frame.
  7. Kinda depends what people mean when they say "stronger." To some that means more caffeine, to some more flavor. The press definitely amplifies the flavor. The amount of caffeine in coffee is tied to how the beans are roasted. Darker roasted coffees lose more water/oil during the roasting process. Caffeine is leached out via that moisture, so the longer the roast, the less the caffeine. Which is a bit counterintuitive to some people, who believe darker roasts are necessarily "stronger" coffee.
  8. Coffee will have better flavor the longer the beans are in contact with the water. In a traditional drip coffee maker, that's a very short time. It's longer with those older perk coffee makers, where the water percolated up through the central stem into the basket with the beans, and circulated over and over. With a press, the beans and water interact for several minutes before you push the plunger down, which screens out the beans from the water (now coffee).
  9. I like black coffee, sort of ashy tasting. The stronger, the better. Typically French Roast, but some places don't roast their beans enough. My favorite is Peet's, but the best around Nebraska is Starbucks. Even Starbucks is getting weaker because everyone is ordering milkshakes instead of actual coffee. When I make coffee at home it's French Roast or Komodo Dragon, in a press. Black, no sugar.
  10. You asked him for his address. Why, if you think squatting is girls peeing?
