Direct infusion would never be as good as that first morning cup of super-strength espresso. I use a six-cup stove top espresso maker, packing the brew basket full of coffee (very dark roast, Turkish grind, very rich and full bodied flavour preferred), firming it down with a spoon and packing more coffee in.
The Other Half and I have half a mug each, straight up. Yes, not an espresso cup but a big, chunky mug. I take my time with the first few mouthfuls to enjoy the flavour, and then, wham, finish it off. Sixty seconds later and I’m ready for anything.
It’s even more fun when we have visitors and they ask for a coffee. Most are instant coffee drinkers with a handful that use a cafetiere. Boy, do they get a shock when our coffee hits their taste buds.
Being a nightowl, I used to have to mainline it to get to work. I understand.
I made a screensaver of vintage coffee ads that I tweaked. I’ll send you thumbnails.
Thanks, they’re truly awesome!
Still on vacay, the connection is uh “randomizing” and so I can’t post anything else. It’s 40/60 if this will go through. Things should be back to normal tomorrow.
Where are you on hols? Town/country/beach/Metro’s fridge??
What you need to find is that coffee that was left in the pot at the office on Friday after work.
Come Monday morning, in condensed into a fine potent caffeine paste.. all you need is a Hypodermic needle.
cheers.
I’ve been “Up Island” as they say, in Campbell River, an old logging and fishing town with some old friends (not quite as old as the town, although we feel that way on certain mornings). The air smelt funny (I was informed that the peculiar odor was “trees”) and you could see right through the water to the bottom of the ocean; I was askared it wasn’t dense enough to hold up the boat. And somebody fishing for salmon off the dock caught a sunstar about ten inches in diameter and that was the most exciting thing that happened the whole trip. It was nice.
Sounds good to me.
I was rushed in hospital on wednesday last week with what looked like an angina attack. I was so treated and responded to treatement. However the ecg showed a negative result and the consultant said I was ok and could go home. I asked for his reasoning and he offered me an angiogram as I wasn’t prepared to take his word. I said I was completely prepared to take his word I’d just like to understand what happened, why it happened and what I could do to prevent it happening again. he suggested the angiogram as I was ‘the sort’ to worry. I was reluctant but after much persuasion from the nurses had the procedure. (he wouldn’t offer it if it wasn’t needed) It was negative. It hurt. A lot. My fucking leg is fucking killing me. They tried 3 times to put the shunt in and I look like a fucking pin cushion. I’ve learned today that people are dying from hospital infections in the county below and above mine. And 10 per day from MRSA. I’ve just found out that this procedure increases cancer risk the younger you are to 1 in a 100. Well that’s just fucking great, they didn’t tell me that!
Sorry about the rant, Raincoaster. I just wish I’d been there instead.
Philipa, rant away and I for one thank you! I didn’t know that, I didn’t even know it hurt. I avoid hospitals like they are the plague.
Lydia, these days they are the plague. All the bad germies live there. You are wise to avoid them. I had a heart cath a few years ago. Lying still was the most painful thing I’d done for a long time. Yeah, it hurts.
Rant away. My mother worked in hospitals all her life, and so I know some very good reasons to be cautious about them and involved and informed. Good for you, demanding answers to your questions.
Pain? You want pain? Try a bone marrow biopsy: I swear, my FINGERNAILS were sweating from the pain.
Thanks, Raincoaster.
@Philipa:
Sorry to hear about your (mis)adventure.
I have a strict policy of avoiding hospitals as much as possible. After all, look how many people die in them!
My father is more cautious than I am. For as he observes, the majority of those dying in hospitals seem to be older people.
