Well, caffeine is good for the skin. I wonder what the lather is like.Yep, I would like to see @NurseDave shave with his coffee challenge. Might need a little creamer in it

Dave you know this company. Is that legit Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee there on the site?
Yes, very cool guy and we actually had him on Drinks and Daves. If you become established with him, or ask, sometimes he even has limited availability stuff not on the website.
I would like to throw myself on the mercy of the TSC coffee community and thank you from pulling me from the pedestrian hell that is Keurig coffee. Today I present for your consideration 20g of hand ground coffee with 11oz of water. If I had easy sink access I’d have a different setup.

If you Google around a bit, you can find Haitian blue at a much better price than Jamaican Blue and it's the same bean grown in very similar soil. Having had both, I actually prefer the Haitian blue. I realize that is probably heresy.
Freshroastedcoffee.com has a limited run of Haitian blue around the holidays which I've been very pleased with. But I'm sure you could find current stock in other locations if you are interested.
Thanks for the heads-up. I'll definitely check them out.

A big shout out to my brother @Seth711. He surprised me with some coffee from Burundi and Tanzania. Seth's friend is a small-batch roaster, and these beans come very highly recommended. I plan to break out my Bialetti Mocha Pot (a souvenir from a recent visit to the Old Country) to enjoy these new beans.
Our daily coffee is Peet's Major Dickason's Dark Roast brewed in a Bonavita drip machine.

Congrats Mark. We visited Ocho Rios years ago on a cruise and brought home a suitcase full of beans from the same roaster. I hope you enjoy them as much as we did.

Just tried my Maiden voyage with aeropress, but did a unique brew method. Used Spyhouse Peru light roast. Came out a touch sour. Bet water temperature to low for it. Gonna try again eith increase temperature. Experimental brew method called called floating puck method. Once completely cold it's pretty smooth and balanced. So know it's close.

My Bride and I have tried a lot of "grocery store" coffees over the years, but we keep coming back to Peet's Major Dickason's. We find the freshest beans at Costco. We drank medium roasts for years, but we now prefer a smooth-tasting dark roast (no cream or sugar). Peet's fits the bill for a good tasting cup. We drink at least a pot every morning. We don't claim to be coffee connoisseurs, so I can't really say much more. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
I've been considering an Aeropress for my afternoon cup. I would appreciate any tips or suggestions on grind size, brewing methods, etc. Thanks.
