    That's OK. I have the same sentiment about Starbucks as srellim. I brew my own coffee. Heck, I roast my own coffee beans.:coffee:

    One of the engineers where I work roasts his own beans too:).

    He brings them in on occasion and puts them in our espresso machine. Rather strong:whistle:.

    I’m more of a Keurig guy and we get the Peet’s coffee Major Dickinson blend;).

    Excellent cup of coffee(y).

    You have Peet's in Bay Area. I use to buy roasted coffee from the Coffee Connection. But, I got into roasting my own coffee when coffee legendary George Howell sold his Coffee Connections to Starbucks. He now has his own roaster Best Artisan Coffee &amp; Espresso | About George Howell Coffee |George Howell Coffee, but I have moved too far now.

    We get our coffee as whole beans, from an independent coffee place that does their own roasting. They're about 300~400 yards down a trail that we walk with our dog. Also nearby, there's a drive-thru Starbucks popped up, about a year back, a carbuncle on the landscape, with it's steady stream of idling CUV's.

    FWIW, that roaster is not the most pleasant of smells, not sure that it's healthy...

    I keep bringing back the same bag, use it for maybe a year.

    Their coffee's about the double the price of Costco, buy hey.

    We buy beans as well, but my office professional doesn’t seem to monitor how much we have on hand:rolleyes:.

    Then makes us resort to the Keurig;).

    Maybe I didn’t do enough for OP Day awhile back:oops:.

    Yeah, craft specialty coffee isn't cheap if you buy them roasted. Green coffee beans are anywhere from $5 to $10/lb except some very fancy highly sought after beans like Hawaiian Kona, Jamaican Bluemountain, or Panamian Geisha which could be up to $25-$40/lb. My cup of coffee comes to be about $0.20/cup including the cost of the roaster and all other coffee brewing gadgets.

    When I took the IQ test, it came back and said: "You are a stable genius!"

    (Is it just me, or when someone declares themselves a "stable genius", doesn't that remind you of "Wile E Coyote.... Suuuuuuuper Genius!" -- right before the anvil falls on his head?)

    I like the cartoon better. The anvil there is small enough to fall only on his head.

  16. I had an official evaluation done on me like 20 years ago and scored, 131.
    I felt smart back then, but not so much today...

    Coffee? Prefer several flavors made with a Senseo machine. Or a nice big pot of Folgers Black Silk in my Braun drip machine. We will be drowning in disposed K-cups someday. IQ?? About as useful as phrenology was back in the day. In the Wisconsin school system of the early 70's we were all given the Henmon-Nelson test in our junior year. My results are probably still in a file cabinet somewhere, but I seem to recall the number 129. Or maybe that was my weight...
