Rocky,

You aren't too far from the truth. Some of those Frapacinos (sp.) and other such drinks are in the $3 to $4 category. Never had one and probably never will. It kills me when I see my brothers spend $5 for a drink at a bar, so there is no way I am spending that kind of money at a coffee bar.

Any coffee other than cowboy coffee seems pretty good to me. Where I come from, coffee is measured in handfulls thrown in the pot. You swirl around and toss out the last half inch in your cup because of the grounds. You don't clean out your coffee pot after one pot, you just add another couple hand fulls. It's time to clean it when you have more grounds in the pot than coffee and that is no BS. Just a couple of weeks ago I stopped at a old hermit ranchers place I know. In his porch he has a wood stove that he burns year around, 90 degree weather or not. He has a big what you would call a camp coffee pot that he keeps on the wood burner. When I'm there, he puts out the sugar and condensed milk, I just add and add till the coffee is at a place that I can choke it down. I can easily handle espresso or whatever someone would concider strong coffee without any additives. With real cowboy coffee you might as well just eat the coffee beans.

Rocky,
I got a Bunn as well. They are great. It got moved from the kitchen to the camper when this new rig hit the house though.....

In 29 days I will go to the BLACK BEAN in Nuernberg and drink real cuppocino (or how ever the heck you spell it-I can still order it!):D

With my kids:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

If you want a real espresso or cappucino, you need to go to Rome or Venice. I've been there once and I am dying to go back. I don't think any vacation will ever compare to those three weeks in Italy. What a time.

Dern ya'll...all I got is a Mr. Coffee machine and a can of Folgers....:rolleyes:

Cappuchino... that's Italian for "five dollars a cup", right?

My brothers won't let me make the coffee. I like boiled brew with extra kick. Kid brother No.# 1 named my prefferred cuppa "Khe Sahn"...

"It tastes like it's been boiled in a helmet!" he yelped. To which Redundancy unit No. #2 rejoindered "...and strained through a wool sock..."

Works a charm during commercial fish openings and opening day of elk season though..... :D :D :D :D

Rocky. I buy the Starbucks French Roast in whole bean at Costco for about $15.00 for a 2.5 pound bag. I grind it myself so that it is almost a very fine powder. I use one of those Melita cone things to make a cup and it's darn good coffee. But then, I like my coffee quite strong anyway. Most of what I see in resteraunts these days taste much like flavored dishwater.

I buy the cheap known brands and then buy one of those blocks of cheap expresso brands....I mix the two together and whalla I got some good strong coffee.....then if you wanna taste somethin good...take that left over pot you didnt drink, stick it in the fridge...when you come home....pour it into a cocktail glass...add ice and sugar if you like it sweet.....a little milk and iced coffee...just got into that this year...I was tired of throwing a half pot of coffee away every day...its good try it.....

SACRILEGE, BLASPHEMY, THROWING AWAY GOOD COFFEE. I GO THROUGH ABOUT A POT AND A 1/2 A DAY. I LIKE IT STRONG. AND I LIKE IT HOT, BLOND AND SWEET. CREAM, REAL CREAM, AND SUGAR PLEASE.

I'M FAMILIAR WITH COWBOY COFFEE, LIKE JONSEY SAID IT'LL MAKE YOUR TEETH TINGLE. BUT IT SURE IS GOOD ON CHILLY MORNING DURING ROUNDUPS. NOTHING BETTER THAN COFFEE IN A TINCUP ON A COLD MORNING. "SURE WARMS THE FINGERS WHEN IT'S COLD. " LETS SEE IF ANYBODY CAN IDENTIFY THAT QUOTE. ANY COWPOKES OUT THERE?

no problem

Melodies And Memories

Campfire coffee from a tin cup in my hand
Sure warms the fingers when it's cold
Playing an ol' guitar, a friend I understand
It sure smooths the wrinkes in my soul

RIGHT ON SMARTY PANTS. ;)

I LOVE THAT SONG. IT'S WHAT IT IS ALL ABOUT.

GOD BLESS AND HAPPY TRAILS.
