Yesterday my buddy and I went up to New Melones lake for some trout and bass fishing. We used the Hobie pedal kayaks. Was easy to imbibe lunch while pedaling along and trolling for trout. No fooling around with cutting bread or cheese. And only caught one nice bass. You know, you can make sandwiches ahead of time and wrap them so they don't get soggy in the cooler. Really. What would you suggest? PBJ? -- If it's not posted with a mac, it's the real deal.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - I like PBJ's but I cut them out too.

Taking this science fair project a step farther I weighed the normal coffee charge and it is right at one oz by weight (Maxwell House drip grind) for that pot of coffee. That makes a pot of coffee about 15 cents if you catch a sale. ($5.99 for 39 oz can) I know when we charged a quarter a mug (4 cups or so) at our shop *we ended up with a tidy profit that we spent on a cookout lunch a few times a year. Damn. Now you've got me wondering. Eight cups in my Starbucks pot is 48oz. So, Starbucks considers 6oz of coffee to be a 'cup'. The coffeemaker we have holds 12 6oz cups, and is called a 12 cup coffeemaker. I guess if it had a Black and Decker label it would be an 18 cup coffeemaker. Huh. Never knew that. The Mr Coffee is the same size as the B&D (4 oz "cups") I guess Starbucks just wants to be different. That is why a small coffee there is a "grande" ... and $4 They never grabbed me. Sounds like something for Consumer Reports to jump on. I just did some comparisons of different brands, and they range from 4-6 oz per cup. Weird.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - It's all irrelevant if you just look at how much the pot will hold in oz. instead of cups. |

Sometimes if there's left over coffee in the pot and I feel like some, I'll microwave it, and it never tastes as good as if you just turn the pot on and let it warm. BUT, I have this cool thing that is like a small basket with a handle that holds enough ground coffee to make one cup. You simply heat just the water in the microwave, then stir the water with this thing, let it set a few minutes, and you have a decent cup of coffee. |
