    Knowledge is great, even if any given piece of information has no apparent use or benefit.  After all, what we know helps define who we are and how we think about the world.  Understanding ourselves tends to lead to richer, more meaningful interactions with the world and those in it.  Thus, when it comes to information about my past and the past of my community (in this case, the Hawai‘i coffee community), I’m keen to know and understand every piece of information as accurately as possible.  This includes just exactly when coffee first arrived to Hawai‘i.

    So one can use a french press as a milk frother!  Damn.  Had I known...So I gave it an attempt and lo and behold, actually I didn't try too hard.  I didn't have any milk.  So but I found a little half & half but the thing was that whilst my beloved brew was seeping, and I was warming up the half & half...I just said, nah.  Cuz frothed milk is more for like espresso anyway.  Well, anyway, I am enjoying my new french press, this sexy little 12 ouncer.  I made one this morning, and the thing is that only making a 12 ouncer means I'm drinking less...per session.  This actually allo

    My neighbor told me to go to TJ Maxx to find a good deal on a french press.  $7.99 for a 12 oz.  I almost got the 35 oz.

    So what does one do in this situation?   Well there are quite a few options out there for these types of situations as well as when out on the trail or camping.

    I’ve spoke about a few brew methods in the past and wanted to take a little break and talk about a way to grind fresh coffee with no power.   The Hario Skerton Hand Grinder is your answer!

    Converting people from instant to the "good stuff"

    My aunt stopped by a few days ago to pick up my father - they were going up north for the weekend. My dad had his travel mug ready (with the coffee level going down at a steady pace). My aunt spilled her travel mug as she was getting out of the car (she had her two dogs with her and was trying to untangle their leashes so they could stretch their legs before the four hour trip). My aunt asks if I can boil some water for her as she brings out the instant coffee she is taking up north with her.

    I went to Minneapolis to visit family and tried to find good espresso. It didn't seem to be around every corner. I am sure it was there, it was just not where I was at the time. It's probably like Kansas City where you have to drive quite a bit to find the exceptional roasters. My immediate family and those who I hang out with aren't what my cousin the doctor calls fee snobs but I guess I have turned into one. I went to a restaurant called Hell's Kitchen and the food was awesome. The decor was totally bizarre. They had stuffed crows in places. They had a stage for a band.

    Went to Minneapolis to see some family. They had our itinerary planned out for us. We went to a restaurant that is on the Historic Register called A. W. Frost and Company. We had reservations on the patio which seated about seventy five to one hundred. The patio has the traditional white Christmas lights and candles to create romantic feel. Above the patio were these giant trees with trunks so big that you know they have seen at least two generations of people dining under their protective branches. We ordered drinks and appetizers and I felt a tiny drip of water hit me on my arm.

    Continuing the exploration of different brewing methods brings me to the pour over drip method.   There are several options in the category of pour over but I’ve found the best results using the Hario V60.   Hario products come from Japan and are of very high quality.   Hario in Japanese means “The king of glass” and they sure are!  All the items I’ve handled are made of very durable glass and ceramic.

    I ordered a 2 lb back of Klatch belle espresso. Well I got two 12 oz packages. I emailed Roaste and they immediately responded. They offered a resolution of another 12 oz package of what ever I wanted. They have excellent customer service and they are allowing me to get another discount by telling you about it. Well what good marketing is that! I would call that a win win situation. It will just keep me coming back.

    It’s only August, so there’s still time for barbecues and maybe a camping trip or two. Ahhh, camping - the campfire crackles, the crickets sing in the background, the breeze rustles through the trees….the smell of roasted marshmallow entices the nose…all in all an almost perfect scene enfolds around  the campfire. It’s not complete though, until the odors of coffee brewing and bread baking completes the ambiance.

    Turkish Coffee

    Turkish coffee is a sweet, fragrant, and full-bodied brew that is very popular in the Mediterranean region and Middle East. Most coffee historians agree this style of coffee got its start in Egypt during the 16th century. Turkish coffee brews without a filter or strainer – if you like a French press for the “body” imparted be the unfiltered fines, then get ready to be blown away by this stuff. Sugar is part of the recipe for a reason – this thick, syrupy, and bold coffee is a style like no other.

    This is my second experiment in making bath/body products using coffee. Technically I used the grounds for this experiment not the coffee itself but close enough right? Cool

    On Roaste's Facebook page I saw a link posted about skin and hair care products that were made with coffee. As tempting as they were I  just cannot afford them right now. This got me thinking - could I make my own products? I decided to experiment and see. This is the first experiment - using coffee as a hair coloring.

    There are multiple ways/methods. I researched and reviewed then came up with the following:

    Espresso is like Golf. There is never a perfect game. Golf is how well you can handle and recover from your arrant shots . I guess Golf is a lot like life. I think people like the pursuit of the perfect cup. I think I like it because number 1 I love coffee. But not just coffee. I love espresso. I drink mine in hot water "Cafe Americano". I have not developed a taste for straight espresso. I also have sweetener and cream. I guess I could add that to straight espresso couldn't I?

    That is like saying caviar for those on a budget. Espresso is an expensive habit. Especially if you drink it as much as I do. I started off buying Lavazza Tierra beans from Amazon on their subscription services because of no tax and no shipping cost and a discount. So when I read about Roaste.com on a coffee forum I was stoked. I was getting tired of Lavazza. even though it works good enough. I think Roaste is better because of the variety. No shipping charge over $25 no tax and discounts for their subscription services. Roaste direct ships from the roaster a lot of the time.
