Non-wimps go for cowboy coffee. :)
@theoldfool The modern, city version of cowboy coffee is a french press. Same concept; fits my lifestyle better.

@code-witch That's not expensive on planet Coffee Machine! :laugh:
The one I'm upgrading from was about three times that price, and the new one ... well ... Don't look!
I got mine second hand, and it was an absolute steal at US$400!
And WOW! It makes a great cappucino! Mind you, at that price new it should give bl****bs as well. :blush:

And here's me with my $20 Mr.Coffee, I feel so, so cheap....but in a good way! LOL

@jeron1 I prefer the taste of fresh expresso to drip coffee - those machines tend to stew the coffee and that wrecks the delicate flavours.
It's fine if all you want is a caffeine boost, but if you want to savour it, you need fresh brewed.
Yeah, it's expensive - but it works out cheaper than starbucks! At $4.25 for an espresso, I'm ahead in less than 6 months, even with the cost of beans added to the machine price.

@OriginalGriff Truth be told, I lost a vast majority of my taste and smell some 20 years ago, so cheap go I!
@jeron1 That's a bugger - my neighbour lost his during Covid, and it still hasn't come back. That's got to make eating really boring...

@OriginalGriff I tend to eat memories, for instance, I'll eat a burger and say "wow, this is a good burger!", based on things like seasoning (I can detect salt, spicy, sour, sweet..) , juiciness, etc. I cannot experience nuances that require more olfactory sensing. Yes, it can be boring, but I am eating some things I never liked before, with the notable exception of the vile weed, cilantro, NEVER! LOL

50 cups of coffee and you know it's on!
Code, follow, or get out of the way.

@Steve-Echols Oh yes - have you tried the ones in dark chocolate? Caffiene, dopamine, and endorphins in a tiny package!

@OriginalGriff Sorry for late reply, just saw this.
Will have to try them. If you don't see me on here anymore, my heart probably exploded!
