    Folgers is my go to for cheap, baby. Most of the time it's Peets or once in a great while and it's on sale, Starsmucks.

    I was bored the other night and was looking at and trying to justify a $4000 plus coffee maker. :D

    Time to let off some pressure
    Time to let off some steam
    All your notebooks get thrown away
    And you start your diary clean
    Crystal glass lined up in a row
    Watched over by the G.I. Joes
    Butter in your coffee doesn't taste quite right
    Feeling the effects for a hundred thousand nights

    Call me Husker Dave. :D

    Or you could save $3970 and buy an Aeropress.

    Dude, I had no idea on what I was looking at or how it gets through tech without a shit load of safety wiring and work but it was cool looking and I had a "special deal" for 40% off. I like deeply discounted but free is better. :D

    So I spoke with my wife about the theories behind butter and coconut oil.
    The grass fed butter his high in two things, vitamin K2 and butyrate. Vitamin K2 modifies proteins so that they bind to calcium which prevents calcification in blood vessels. Grass fed butter is one of the highest dietary sources of vitamin K2. The Rotterdam study showed a 57% reduction in risk of heart disease in those with the highest K2 intake. Butyrate on the other hand, works to reduce inflammation. Inflammation in the blood vessels leads to plaque formation which is the basis for ischemia.

    As for coconut oil (and saturated fat) it appears that the saturated fat changes the type of LDL from small dense particles to large fluffy particles. The small dense particles are what sticks to vessels creating plaque. Saturated fats increase both HDL and LDL and it appears the intake of saturated fat increases the good cholesterol and changes the bad cholesterol into a better form reducing cardiac risk. Triglycerides are raised in low fat high carb diets. The other standout thing is that coconut oil is low in Omega 6 fatty acids which has shown an increased cardiac risk.

    No surprise there. Your tastes always seem to fall to the bottom. Where is Orvis to chime in on Folgers as "scientically proven" best? That was a riot.

    Todays Eight O'Clock hazelnut k-cups are okay but too weak when made with enough water to make an actual cup of coffee. I did find my refillable k-cup at the house last weekend so I'll be experimenting later on to find something that makes an acceptable cup of coffee. Need to by some espresso and probably a can of Bustelo...

    Just get yourself a French press. We swapped about a year ago, wife bought a hot water boiler that keeps water hot all the time. Wake up, put in coffee, steep for four minutes and you get a great cup of coffee.

    As I've reported previously, the way to get Bustelo cheap is to order by the case direct from Java Cabana when they run their free shipping deals. Vacu-PAC lasts a good long time in the larder.

    I've been doing beans lately and Bustelo is more than the boss likes but I may stockpile some just because. :D

    And I'm already 2 minutes ahead of you with an Aeropress (and less cafestol). Pretty indestructible too.

    If you think the beans are good, wait till you try it with hot water. You're in for a treat.
