Decaf coffee - pointless and yucky

coffee with caffiene - tolerable

coffee with caffiene and 2 lumps of sugar - super yummy.

As much as I like this French press, I am going to get a coffee machine so I can set it the night before to go off at the ungodly hour of 6:15 in the a.m. I really really tried to get up early yesterday but just went back to sleep. I got up at 8:15. It ain't gonna work if I want to get my run in before work, so I am getting a machine to start brewing the junk with the hope that the smell will get me out of bed.

Here's the press I bought:



It's the Bodum Brazil. Makes one glutton American size cup of coffee. It was like $8.00 online. It rocks. And Bodum have some cool shit.

Not overly impressed with my Krups grinder cuz it gives an uneven grind, but I'm not shelling out $150 for that other kind of grinder thingee.

So it's the press on weekends and holidays, and the machine on work days.

Anyhoo, last night on tv was the UCI track championships from Marsaille or Bordeaux, can't recall which. I couldn't believe this was on basic cable. It was on CN8 for all you east coast Comcast peeps. If you've never seen the legs of a male (or female for that matter, but I am more interested in the males) track cyclist, you have not lived.

Marty Nothstein:





Marty has slimmed down a bit though since he moved over to road. He's kinda old now, isn't he?

Then I watched



Rwanda is the enduring shame of the Clinton administration, the west generally, the colonial powers, the French particularly (they dug mass graves for tens of thousands of the slaughtered by the Hutus, and did their part to hide the story...and the evidence) and the UN.

Cheadle was very sympathetic in his portrayal, but I really liked Nick Nolte's performance. he oozed shame and desperation and was very moving.

I have so much crap to do this weekend I am feeling sort of overwhelmed. I am going to make a list, go through it one by one, and just do one room at a time.

I just heard on the radio that Los Lobos are coming in either August or October. I am soooo there. I fricken LOVE that band from East LA.

Good thing is I am all buzzed up thanks to the coffee. Can you tell? biggrin wink

The sun is coming out. Here comes the sun, scooby doobey...time to get out in it.

biggrin kiss biggrin you ooo aaa miao!!

As someone who lives smack dab in the middle of the Starbucks Northwest coffee culture, I can tell you getting your coffee ground in the shop is the best way to get an even grind, especially for French press. Buy your coffee at Starbucks (or your local version, thereof) and tell the barista to grind it there for you. (Be sure to specify that you want it for a French press) That way you get all the benefits of an even grind and a perfect cup of pressed brew without spending the gazillion bucks on a professional grade grinder. Of course, you probably already know this being the educated and brilliant woman you are but it's just my 2-cents worth biggrin

Glad you liked the picture in my journal. I'm kind of a picture finding bender right now and it was a definite gem!

might want to try the filtre belgique... i wanted to cut back on my coffee consumption and swtiched to this "one-hitter". much easier to clean than the french press. also, the capresso cool grind is the best when it comes to convenience and price. coffee is the last addiction i'll ever kick.
