I like heavy coffee too. I won't drink the stuff my wife makes. She
likes coffee that taste's like anything BUT coffee! Same way with tea.


The stuff Starbucks is selling as its 'Christmas Blend' is a good
tasting coffee.

John, you have no tastebuds!


Bull****. I use about four heaping tablespoons of the stuff for six
cups of coffee. Tastes better'n what the Army used to serve.

Man, I'm having a slow day today!

Stumbled across this today - never knew they were what they were
called though.

Some different designs - some actually have been built.

I wonder if I could try this on the Ranger. Might be fun. Need to
