akdave Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 This thread drift has been fun to read! Takeaway: for best two channel performance - toe the speakers in a little. On another less punny note, I saw this and thought at Mark (the miner) bc he's loaded with these and he's probably already posted it somewhere along the line of this nearly 1500 page thread! Have a wonderful Wednesday everyone! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was planning to buy that but the expense of removing my roof and first floor of the house to fit it in the basement next to the Jubes started to become a bit much.

Moderators dtel Posted March 8, 2017 Moderators Share Posted March 8, 2017 It was big and heavy, and I have no idea how it would really sound, it's really old, I would imagine it could be designed better today ? That's a standard pallet under it for size. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pursuing Cal's thread that wandered a bit and ended up in a discussion of coffee I would like to pick the brain of the serious coffee drinkers here and get some suggestions, tips, and advice. Here are the particulars. I usually do not grind my own beans. I drink two cups in the morning....that's it. Expensive to me is more than $10 a pound. I am not particularly loyal to any brand or purveyor. I have a Keurig but routinely use a Mr. Coffee. I guess among serious coffee drinkers, to use an audio comparison, I am in the boom box stage. So what would be a step up? this my ever changing set up... Mr coffee $25 6 months old bought @ bj's Cuisinart burr grinder $25 after xmass sell off @ bj's bj's coffee brand Wellesley $12 32oz this is a 10 day supply. Starbucks pike place 32oz $12 after $5 coupon I go through coffee.makers like you use tp.. 1 every 9 months to a year local coffee shop that roast their on bean next stop https://wakethehellup.com 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always smelled wonderful. I do have a small grinder and have recently ground (or is it grinded?) some Trader Joe's cheap beans. Okay.....for you serious guys....I bet you drink yours black? No cream, sugar, artificial sweeteners? I neglected to say I use coconut cream and Stevia. That's got to go....right? Bagboy @ a&p cool, Chuck ! I do enjoy eight o'clock Columbian 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimjimbo Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Here we go with the coffee maker subject again....you guys need to learn how to make real, good....did I say good....coffee. Sorry to be blunt here (Carl) but, first of all, if you're not grinding your beans just before you brew, you are drinking crap. Secondly, this is the way to make smooth, strong coffee the way it should be...a Chemex. Easy as can be, and doesn't sit and bake on a burner for hours at a time. Compare a cup from a Chemex to a cup from ANY automatic maker. Just my humble opinion of course.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We usually grind about every other day. Tastes the same as ground immediately before to me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
