Do you indulge when listening to your rig?

OK, let hear more ALONE under a warm blanket with a guitar amp plug into a Adcom ace-515 and ...

Donjr, Frieling did the trick. You're correct, problem was my BonJour not holding the heat long enough while it was brewing. Thanks!

Back to our scheduled programming ... Wolf, apologies for the interruption, please continue, as you were saying ... under warm blanket, ALONE jamming Slim Whitman with your Made in China Guitar amp rolling KT950s ...

When I use the French Press I pour really hot water in and push down the press to heat the metal strainer and stem. I let that stay there until the water in the kettle is boiling then dump it out add coffee and boiling water. It does stay much hotter that way.

Yes you must buy a coffee grinder and grind your own. store the beans in an air tight container. Do not put in the refrigerator, it causes the oil to come out of the beans.

Last of all " Friends don't let friends drink Starbucks"

I owned a Grammer guitar for 40 years or something...just like Slim Witman! Also, I've never plugged a guitar amp into the ACE515...too much work schlepping an amp from the studio area into the hifi room. And my current fave guitar amp was made in Kentucky.

Beer, wine or some tasty rum with excellent results. Helps me get over the shortcomings of my system.

I have never made coffee at home, but this thread has inspired me.
Just ordered a Frieling French press and Hario hand grinder. Also a subscription to Craft Coffee. Sorry Wolf, back to the thread...

THREAD SCHMED!

Wolf_Garcia, there always seems to be comprises made with it comes down to choice of beverages. We already know that anything that makes you feel good will eventually kill you. But if that don't kill you, somwething else will.

That's OK with me ... what's important is the QUALITY and NOT quantity of life. NO REGRETS BABY!!!

Phd...wrongo bongo...pot, interestingly, has never killed anybody (maybe somebody with a weird allergy, or they died while laughing...but still). It may be the only actually non-toxic (by clinical definition) thing you ever do.

I drink coffee, but when I listen to music that is what I indulge in! Otherwise, no mind-altering substances unless you count caffeine.
