That explains it all. American coffee is /generally/ very week; where else can you get a de-caf espresso. How is she making the coffee? Here maybe the soltion, buy her a good espresso machine for Christmas and find a roaster in NYC who will supply a very strong espresso grind for her. You will gain 837,493[1] attaboys for it. [1] 1,000,000,000 attaboys can be exchanged with the wife for 'that'[2]. [2] No, the other thing that she did before you married her.

I consume whole beans, and grind them in my throat by flexing my testicles for 20 seconds. Once they've been sufficiently ground (the beans, not the testicles), I pour boiling water into my mouth and let the tissues of my stomach filter the caffeine directly into my bloodstream. That's the correct way to make "instant" coffee. Evacuation of the resulting waste product is probably best left for another discussion (probably in a completely different universe so as not to offend the overly abundant pansies that inhabit this forum). EDIT =============== BTW, how's that 3-d monkeyturkey thing coming along?

I don't usually work from home, but today is one of those times when I decided to. Thus I was privileged to see how my wife makes coffee. I should mention that she is not really a morning person. Watching her "process" now explains several things, one, why she doesn't always like the coffee she gets, two, why we can go through so much. Apparently her technique is to use about 2 coffee cups worth of water. Then stumble over to where the grounds are kept and dump, not spoon, in coffee till the filter is almost completely full. It seems to me this is not the best way to make coffee, but what do I know, I'm just a man.

Repost!! There's been a long thread about coffee already. :)

No, "Indian man" is an oxymoron, "American man" is a redundancy because American males are automatically assumed to be men until they prove themselves not to be.

Just in case it's not fully clear what John's saying here, India and America are completely complementary from a gender perspective; Indian men are effeminate, American women are butch :rolleyes:

Yeah that did occur to me right after I hit submit. But what the hell, you gotta live dangerously from time to time.

I definitely try that from time to time. The worst was when I faked a toilet overflow on the $7000 tile floor that she paid for as part of the kitchen / main floor upgrade. The toilet was running for about 20 minutes so I got up to look and I exclaimed "OMG, Kathy" I have never seen her run so fast in my life.

I have no idea. Actually, yeah it was this time, but I don't know if that's "normal" or not. I've given up trying to help with this one. I've bought all sorts of different coffee here in NYC, and none of it meets her standards. Granted when we do go to Poland, they do have good coffee there, but I find it somewhat hard to understand how *nothing* in the US is up to snuff. Oh well, chalk it up to one of life's little mysteries :)

You think that's bad, you should try being English and trying to get a decent cup of tea. Once you are out of the UK it's seemingly impossible.

You're lucky she washed it before giving it to you after it fell on the floor. Just because you asked, next time it won't get washed. *crunch* This cheese is kinda gritty. What kind is it again? *crunch*
