Point taken. I just meant "totally fine" as in "meets specifications." Not that I'd enjoy it. Although I'd be glad for it at TEOTWAWKI I'm sure.
We have different definitions of "totally fine." LOL
My wife used to think that was totally fine, I never have. But I spoiled her with fresh roasted coffee and now she can't drink that swill anymore.
Don't like coffee, don't care if it goes away. But of course it seems like some people like the stuff. Maybe with Baileys if would be worth drinking....maybe.
Yeah, he's a marketer. They all give me the woolies.If you buy any of it let us know how it is.
I know he's made a boat load of money and i've seen a cple intervies with him. Maybe I'm being too judgemental but something about him gives me the woolies
My Father would drink a six oz. club now & again, in early morning, he worked nights for thirty three years.I've never seen my father drink anything besides coffee and beer, and occasionally whiskey and wine. I personally have never developed the taste for coffee. Can coffee be grown in the US? I think I heard where it's grown in Hawaii.
Years ago I got drunk at work one time and passed out in the break room. I was the senior manager at the time. One of my employees took a permanent marker and wrote something very inappropriate on my forehead. It took days for it to wear off.My Father would drink a six oz. club now & again, in early morning, he worked nights for thirty three years.
He drink coffee & ice tea mostly. I drink coffee & tea, wine when it is offered or shot of whiskey when offered.
I have friends who like for me to try new drinks, maybe it the faces I make when I try them. Maybe it because I never been drunk,
I was afraid of what would happen if I past out. They dressed my brother up & took pictures, nothing bad, but he had no deal until he saw the pics.
Looks very similar to a Guardian Ware. Sold in Tupperware type parties in the 30s,40’s, 50’s. This would be an example of a 40’s+ because it has a glass lid.I just got an original Bialetti Moka Express (AKA "Moka Pot") at a Goodwill thrift store. I used James Hoffman's technique and it was really good on the first try.
The Bialetti is like the Italian "Mr. Coffee", LOL. Only not electric. They are in every home almost. Water is forced up through the brewing chamber by steam pressure.
That is a percolator. Water goes up the tube then down through the grounds and back into the bottom.Looks very similar to a Guardian Ware. Sold in Tupperware type parties in the 30s,40’s, 50’s. This would be an example of a 40’s+ because it has a glass lid.

The cowboys used to use chicory root instead. Has anyone ever tried it? I know they add it to some coffee to take the bitterness out but, supposedly, the cowboys were usually broke so no coffee just chicory.
By itself, I'm not too crazy about chicory, but the Community and Cafe Du Monde chicory blends are good.
Chicory was used among other things to stretch coffee during the Civil War in the South since coffee imports were blockaded. There was coffee to be found - but too expensive to use by itself.
It is said that in the letters written home by Confederate troops, coffee was mentioned more than any other subject. Southern newspapers ran articles on how to make coffee substitutes from things like sweet potatoes, acorns, okra seeds, dandelion root, etc.
