    I can drink coffee just about anyway except black. But at the moment it's good ole Walmart coffee. For the price it isn't bad but if I had the budget for and if my body could handle it again it would be Death Wish Coffee. It's smooth but strong. I use a tad bit of the liquid international delight Hazelnut or Irish cream just to add a hint of flavor also. And my favorite kind is peppermint mocha.

    I have an espresso machine. I drink latte in the morning and espresso in the afternoon. I get beans from a local roaster. I used to make Cuban coffee. I also make Turkish when outdoors. I learned from a Bedouin how to make it over a fire at Petra.
    Coffee is a good social tool. I make cappuccinos for my kids and others when they visit.

    I prefer the french press option, but sometimes the convenience and easy clean up with instant wins out. 20191222_122152.jpg 20191222_122652.jpg

    Just snagged a Chemex. It absolutely lives up to the hype.

    I've been playing with Cuban coffee on the weekends. This YouTube video has been my source.

    A 12 cup Bialetti makes like one good American size cup. You can whip the sugar by hand, or if you're lazy (that's efficient) you can use a whisk attachment on an immersion blender to achieve wonderful sugary goodness.

    Nice! Chocolate covered expresso beans are (in my opinion) one of the best trail / camping snacks.

    They are pretty good any time anywhere really.

    Which really makes me want to go get some.
