This is excessive but I have to say I'm excited to try many new coffees over the holidays... Onyx Coffee Lab out of AR is a bit proud of their coffees but I have to say all I have tried have been very good. https://onyxcoffeelab.com/products/2021-advent-coffee-box-early-bird?utm_source=All Customers that Accept Marketing&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Phase 1%3A 2021 ONYX Advent Coffee%2C Early Bird (RuRtjf)&_kx=tvG9gPR3m8o0xXNo_z_Kgc7Ze5S0m24Jq8w0qHs_TTc%3D.X9pTrM HS

Love me some Panamanian! I shifted away from darker roasts many a year ago, ER. Found the medium roasts were more to my liking, but I was using a French press solely at the time. I'm still of the same ilk but use the Chemex these days almost exclusively. Once retirement comes and I get a proper espresso maker I might be more inclined to darker roasts again...TBD. The Yemeni Levercraft I had at Grawk's recommendation a few years back was special....very Cherry forward. Pricey but I got it. Love me fruit forward coffees...Ethiopians are the top of the heap for me thus far. Sipping on this at the moment... HS

ER, I understood after I read it a couple of times. That's a beautiful unit but it's a luxury and I definitely get the limited counter space dilemma. As for the imperial measures, I'm all for them... LOL HS

bummer, ER. HS

https://clivecoffee.com/products/ratio-eight-coffee-maker Stupid expensive but oh my...purdy. HS

I’ve read good things over the years about those. HS

@EdipisReks shoot us a pic. I'm curious. HS

My sincere condolences, Gentlemen. Sam

mm, He is pushing roughly 25psi...maybe a bit more. Running 1/8 mile at these events. It hauls the mail and he is an exceptional driver. I help out where I can...pleasure to be useful and get to hang out with folks that are running cars like these. I just fly in so it's good to have something to do other than just drinking and talking smack...LOL. HS

I had the pleasure of joining friends in Bowling Green, KY for ChallengerFest and then Holley's MoParty this week. What a hoot and such an eclectic but cool track. It has an amusement park, water park and is basically in horse country. A trip. Anyhoo, my friend made to the finals in the Outlaw class which was pretty impressive. Unfortunately it rained today so he split the purse with the other gent...who he had beaten in qualifying. Here are a few pics of the car to give you an idea of the level of build it is. HS

Godspeed, Norm. Thank you for all the belly laughs... HS

Good stuff, ER. I'm not a fan of Mexican coffee and that flavor profile noted is why....but glad you found something you like so much. grawk - love my Niche grinder! That was a great suggestion on your part. Wife even doesn't mind it on the counter given the nice design. HS

Love me some pour over. Nice setup, ER! I'm big on African and Central and South American coffees. Never had much joy with the Indonesian or Mexican coffees. Ethiopian, Panamanian and Costa Rican are the lovers... HS

Wow. HS

What size is that Seiko, ivanrocks? It looks quite a substantial. HS

Sorry it's the vid is just a copy of the cover...but my boy who just started his career sent me this and it touched me and made me laugh all at the same time. Reminds me a bit of Cake... HS

That is very kind, ER. Much appreciated. I am flush with beans so please enjoy your java! HS

The Ethiopians that have the very berry forward profile are pretty much my favorites. Once a local roaster and coffee shop owner had this blueberry bomb of an Ethiopian. Bought all I could. They moved on sadly but ever since then I've been searching out something as good to my palette. First world problems... HS

I prefer a lighter/medium roast but I don’t make espresso. Enjoy, ER! HS

Let us know what you think about the Ethiopian, ER. I have had a few coffees that were non-traditional like anaerobic. Very rich for me…syrupy. HS

LOL. Get it, ER! You are not holding back on grinders.... HS

Nothing wrong with an SUV spanking a "sports car". I hope they can get your vehicle back in proper order. HS

Sorry to read about the accident, ER. That sucks. Happened to my older son but luckily the gent, a contractor for our neighbor, did the right thing and left a note. Best of luck with the repairs. HS

My text disappeared on me…not great w my phone. Anyhoo, just got back from the Omega boutique. The new Moon Watch looks great. Deceiving that it’s 42mm. Looks/wears smaller due to lugs. Seemed more slender also HS

and with good reason, naamanf. We had extra boxes left over but the installers had to repair some areas and instead of leaving us add'l boards they used the spares. I did not know as I work too much...excuses. Wifey probably didn't think about it focused on the floor being correct. We don't need perfection but certainly less of a standout ugly mess. I would have the floor redone as its been a few years but I fear our pooch will go at it again... We won't have the joy of her forever so once she leaves us we'll have it replaced. HS
