Ah, but first they will have to learn how to make Proper Coffee. That
is the Secret.

I found it and then the Tsunami wiped me out. I bought the Sumatran
coffee at COSTCO, ground it very, very finely, then mixed it with
equal amounts of Walmart's generic decaf.


And no country of Tea Drinkers will ever get that down pat. Not unless
Starbucks goes and sells out ...

Aren't tea drinkers smart enough not to pay $2-5 for a _cup_? That
said, I like the Starbucks dark roasted coffees and turn down coffee
from any and all cafes, restaurants, housewives. I'm spoiled, fer
sher.

Sadly, now that I've developed a food allergy to coffee, I drink but
one cup per WEEK and feed the rest of the half-pot to my neighbor.
(She makes good pies and cheesecakes, so it works out.) big sigh

On-topic line: add a wee bit o' swarf to the pot to help clean it.
Aloonimum is easier on the glass surface. DAMHIKT.

We got the stainless steel commercial pots. Big basket with the
grounds, drips through to a removable square urn, mit the spigot on the
side. Every so often, I take it over to the sink and just hose it out.
But it has been left on over the weekend once to many times ... that stuff
is permanent.
