I just went through a bag of guatemalan antiguan. It was too mild for me. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afternoon rain and thunderstorms in Chattanooga, while just over the state line into Georgia where we live... no rain. Just hot ant humid. Sunny today, but 40% chance of rain later this afternoon. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 (edited) Hey @oldtimer hate it for you, the only couple of times I bought medium roast and it was weak I sent it back along with scathing words. I use one tbsp of grinds per six to seven ounces of water. You grind your own? Got good, clean filtered water? got it to 205 degrees? Place I get mine from is kinda pricy but it's always good. The have some Nicaraguan Naturally Dried that is out of this world good, also priced that way too... the sample they sent me is all I'll ever have of that liquid gold. @Marvel as a crow flies you're not that far from me at all. We had a pretty stout thunderstorm last night, the ones in the afternoon yesterday just got us wet and made noise. Cleaned up the limbs early and hung the Water Hog mats out back to get five pounds lighter each. * do I have to click the balloon to multi quote? it didn't work for me Edited July 19, 2020 by JohnJ * 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 I grind my own, use filtered water. 8 of the typical coffee scoops per 24 ounces. (Melitta scoop) This was a single source bag. Back on the Honduran for now. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grasshopper Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 first time I went to Australia, I noticed that they ask if you would like "An American cup" of coffee....Same /regular amt of grinds in a double size cup [2X the water]. Wife prefers coffee a little weaker than mine. Told her to get up early and make it the way she likes... sorry...Not sorry We're drinking Peruvian. I do like Columbian. We don't see it on the Gadsden menu [at the store] very often. Personally [with our tapwater] I am happy for Mexican beans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This only quotes what you highlighted, if the little button does not pop up try again it will. This especially nice when you do not want to keep posting the same picture over and over with each quote. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was watching How It's Made... They were talking about the old British sports cars and how they grew the 4th wheel to not be a motorcycle... or something like that. I would like to take one of them out for a spin. I suppose they are kinda like a sidecar. Never been in one of those, either. Can't lean into the corners, or you have to do it different from a bike. When I rode in it yesterday your right it does NOT lean, but the way it corners is very much like a really good sports car. I am not crazy about them, they have a really nice tube frame and good roll bar, but little or no protection from other cars. But I was happy our daughter got one, it is a little safer than the motorcycle she had as far as crashing on her own and does stop faster. The bad part is that little thing had a 201 liter car engine and is pretty fast, but does have wide car tires which gives good traction. It rides and feels like a glorified go cart. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been quoted a couple times recently with things that I never said. seems that sometimes, when someone quotes you, then they make their statement and somebody quotes them, the forum puts your name on the latest quote. I wish Chad would fix this ... some of the things that people say here are so stupid that I hate the thought of my name being attached to them. that is a significant software glitch for a public forum. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No not at all, it sticks to the road so well you have to make sure you don't corner faster than you should, this could become a bad habit. It's really low to the ground and with the wide tires really sticks to the road, now i have no idea what happens when it's wet roads ? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
