No I didn't see it, looked like part of your sig, sorry! Well, that's a more complicated list, and I admit to not knowing much. I pass most of these as well, and have one more, my wife calls me a coffee snob now, b/c I refuse to stop anywhere for a cup - "don't worry hun, we are only 20 mins from home, then we can brew our own!" |

And that 13th step is a winner, for sure. Last time I was not home to intercept delivery was a hoot! She was screeching at me. A couple days later, a cup of Classic Mandheling resolved matter somewhat. On 9/27/06, miKe mcKoffee wrote: <Snip> |
That's just the beginning. Next you will develop a traveling kit for your coffee paraphernalia when you are on the road. Hotpot,grinder FP etc. You will have coffee only in another list members home. The ultimate for me was taking a cruise on a ship that boasted a 4 star kitchen and showing up every morning for breakfast with my Zass,FP and beans and having the water bring me a teapot with boiling water. Hey Mike I think I deserve 500 pts for that one. |
I have a simple travelling/office kit. a one cup drip cup and filters, and small containers to carry a couple days worth of beans. No travel grinder either.. Yet. lol |
Nah that's normal stuff for old CSA hacks like you and me. I did the exact same thing just this past February on our Caribbean Cruise:-) Now if you've followed some of HB forum threads Cannonfodder travels with his lever espresso machine and grinder, that IS the next step and ditch the Press for traveling!!!

I have a Bodum C whirly blade (from SM), an Aeropress, one of those immersion heater coils, and a digital meat thermometer. It all packs very nicely into an insulated bag with an insulated cup and my pre- measured and vac packed beans. vicki Leo Zick wrote: <Snip> |
I have gotten to the point of packing my coffee stuff first and then worrying where to put my underwear. Then I figured it out. I can always buy clean underwear on my travels but getting good coffee is problematic. Priorities, |
I took homeroast and areopress when I went hunting this fall. I was 40 miles from electricity, but did heat water on the stove and ground my homeroast in the Zass! Les On 9/27/06, Barry Luterman wrote: <Snip> |
Probably the ultimate would have been to start the fire with flint and steel. I bet Alchemist John has done that. |
LOL! Now that was worth 100 CSA Points! :-) miKe <Snip> |
I've travelled with my Elektra lever machine... When I'm back in Canada I'd like to have a hardshell case built for my Europiccola and grinder. --Derek On 9/28/06, miKe mcKoffee wrote: <Snip> -- http://www.novernae.comHome of the (currently lost) Wandering Sloth |
Ok if we are asking for CSA points how does bringing a Z&D onboard the ship to roast my own for the entire 7 month cruise? Dennis, That's just the beginning. Next you will develop a traveling kit for your coffee paraphernalia when you are on the road. Hotpot,grinder FP etc. You will have coffee only in another list members home.

Dennis, Are you actively proselytizing? Have there been any converts? Eddie On 9/28/06, True, Dennis W. FC1 (CVN69) wrote: <Snip> |
This is a multi-part message in MIME format. Oh yes I have a following already, even some that have only heard and not even tasted my home roast yet. After all the US Navy is the single largest consumer of coffee in the world (at least I have heard that). I have people that beg for me to make a pot of my stash instead of just using the AeroPress. I have the Bodum hand grinder and if they want to make a cup or a pot I tell them to start grinding. If they are willing to put out a bit of effort they are rewarded to a better cup than anywhere else on the ship. By the time we return home I plan on holding some HG/DB classes at my house for those that want to learn more. Sailors gotta love them, offer them better coffee and you have a line out the door clamoring to do most anything to get some. HEHEHE Dennis Dennis, Are you actively proselytizing? Have there been any converts? Eddie |
Well Folks ... whaddya think? Perhaps this is worth a heaping of CSA points ... Active military duty, travel roaster, creative equipment repair, stash of greens on board, etc., etc., etc. Eddie On 9/28/06, True, Dennis W. FC1 (CVN69) wrote: <Snip> |
