Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Home brewed coffee.

Problem 1: it was the 60s. Good coffee had not yet arrived in North America

From there it could have been the blend of beans. A lot of the cheaper (house) brands mix varying amounts of Robusta beans (high yield, not so good taste) into the mix and roast the crap out of it so you don't taste much coffee. They also use C grade beans, not the premium stuff. It all affects the flavour

Also, depending how long the beans sit for(months), they will lose a lot of of their flavour. Coffee snobs connoisseurs will tell you that 14 days post roast, your coffee has lost most of its flavour and should be thrown out.

K-Cups are convenient, but we'd go broke. Julie and I brew a 12 cup carafe in the morning and go through almost all of it every day. Coffeemaker cups are 5 oz, right? Why is that, again? I think of my daily dose as two cups, but they are big cups.

We used to use a Krups 12-cup brewer, but I've really tried to cut down on my coffee drinking. Joyce only has one cup and I sometimes have one, but usually two in the morning. Oftentimes I'll have one full-strength, and a second one is either half-caf or decaf.

I guess that's where the convenience of the K-cups comes in...

Hey Mark, try the Jet Fuel k-cup. It has an orange lid, that is a good cup!

Mark, apparently neither you nor JP need a man card.

I earn mine where it matters, buddy!











Well, no. I actually don't. But the line sounded good.

Thanks for the tip! I'll have to try it out!

Jet Fuel coffee, huh? THAT sounds man-card-worthy, doesn't it?

When you guys say K-cups I'm thinking of something else.

I didn't think bra size letters went up that high.

When I close my eyes they do.
