TOB9595 is on a distinguished road
Default TOB9595's COFFEE JOURNEY

I started my coffee journey just a few days ago. A week at most.
I was smoking a TEMPUS robusto that was just OK but lacking something.
As I thought about the tastes that the cigar was giving me and what I thought was lacking; my mind screamed at me COFFEE!
I wasn't a coffee drinker..And I have yet to have a cup of coffee.
I read and read all the threads on equipment, technique and beanz.
I chatted with some folk and decided that a good burr grinder is the cornerstone of my equipment.
I ordered all of my starter equipment from AMAZON.

Capressa Infinity Burr Grinder



Bialetti Moka Express Percolator 3 cup.



And a Bodum Young 34 ounce press


I anticipate that the Capressa Grinder will give me coarse ground coffee for the French Press.
Fine enough coffee for the Moka Pot, giving me faux espresso
My water will be filtered through a BRITA water filter that I had in use.


As I was Studying up on good coffee I ran across the BODUM CHAMBORD 5 ounce milk frother. This will give me warm/hot frothed nofat or 2% fat froth for coffee.


To complete the package I need BEANZ...I found the BOTL UncleBeanz is a GREAT source for quality roasted beanz. I ordered a bag of

ARI27 2008 Aricha Lot 27 1 $29.99 $29.99
Grind: WB
BEESSP 2008 Beso Espresso 1 $15.99 $15.99
Grind: WB
Shipping: U.S.P.S. Priority Mail�: $4.80
Sales Tax: $0.00
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total: $50.78

The ARICHE is for the coffee press and the BESO is for espresso.
I fully expect my coffee experience to be like a first time cigar smoker to start off with a Cuban Trinidad Fundadore.

I expect to say
WOW!!!
at my first cup of coffee.
My beanz will arrive in tomorrow, Saturday, mail...

the coffee equipment has been checked for proper fit and cleaned it in warm/hot soapy water. The MokaPot won't see soap ever again.

Stay tuned
Mister Moo was HUGE with the info to get me to this place.
Norman, UncleBeanz, is a delight to chat with and started me off with top shelf beanz.
