I will drink any and all coffee put in front of me. Just as long as it is caffeinated. Coffee is life.

Coffee...Conversation...Cool Tunes!

I miss a day on this thread which sometimes doesn't have much going on for a week or more and it explodes with C=coffee, not 256! I am so lost and befuddled. I feel like such a dork....my C skills are pitiful.... I don't even drink the stuff everyday. I will crawl under a rock after posting this..... when Cozzi sees this he will hurl his colanders at me.........

next step to 60 second espresso flavored blend....


Ooooops, do not forget this step so you're not full of Schiit......

Looks just like my morning layout except my mug says “father time can kick the schiit out of you.”

Just made a double shot (and then a double latte) with my new Colombian roast from Ritual. Acidic, but not as bad as the Nicaraguan from Verve.

Love my gumby. Yggy too big for me.

I have a Mimby and am so torn between the Gumby and the Yggy...

Gumby: Smaller, better looks IMO, half the price, newer release/design than Yggy
Yggy: Top of the line but massive, expensive, older design

What makes it worse is that I don't think I can trust older reviews, Schiit is always upgrading and improving things like USB gen 5 so the differences between the Gumby and Yggy might be smaller than they were in the past! Or larger...

I guess the only way to know for sure is to visit the Schiitr!

EDIT: Sorry didn't mean to derail the thread, here's some coffee!

hawaiin kona for me this morning, cap with froth....chord owners classy....:0)

Love the latte art. That's one thing I'm still schiit at. Can't make latte art for the life of me. My Breville Dual Boiler (920XL) has an excellent steam wand but I think I need a tutor to guide me through the process formally.

This is the crux of the problem. I will be 76 by the time these things pass into the public domain, on the off chance we've avoided cataclysmic climate change and a nuclear holocaust...

Don't forget the asteroid strike or the super mega nova from afar...

I think you there in the USA don't even know what good coffee is.
Even a straight espresso is Americanized and doesn't even resemble the real Italian stuff.

Pfft. Italians don't grow the beans.

Speaking of Schiit and coffee reading this thread earlier reminded me of some actual crap coffee which is also known as Kopi Luwak. Tried it once. Just tasted like coffee.

I humbly apologize to all, and especially @Baldr, for helping to lower the S/N of this thread.

Be not ashamed! There are infinite ways to be a "connoisseur", and no one can do all. One can be a Philistine who doesn't like artisanal tea, and still be a car snob who looks down their nose at Toyota Camry drivers.
(or any other combination: don't care about fine "timepieces" or Renaissance art, but be a connoisseur of old guitars, or rare Beanie Babies, or whatever)

I was at the rehearsal of a little chamber music group.
4 stringers and 1 pianist.
I asked them to play a piece in Verdi pitch (without the pianist) and guess what.
It was almost not possible to not to correct for the lower pitch.
Probably it will take a generation, bred in this pitch from the get go, to accomplish a smooth concert.
One of the most famous violinists and conductors in this time (Jaap van Zweden) once defined one of the characteristic of a top violinist as the speed in which he/she could correct his/her tune.
I guess it has to be etched into the brains and muscle memory.

This post from today's Slipped Disc is particularly salient as well as having an irresistibly compelling title:

Extraordinary!
I captured the image to my library for future use.
Never know when latte art may accentuate a thread

I think ultimately I do prefer blends to single origin, but I will need to be more careful about only accepting city roasts.

Should be at the Schiitr shortly after 11:45 am tomorrow.
