What's the cap on zoltars now? It was 200 before but I'm still going tonight. I guess they changed it?

[gloves]

I just did 226. I've been wondering this too, because I think yesterday I had a good 300+

So, I hope y'all will still love me if I get all rolly-polly. The store across the way is having a sale, until June, buy a 20oz coffee and get a free banana, or cake. How much, is too much cake? See, I drink a lot of 20oz coffees anyway. These cakes only have 670 calories. That's good, right? Carrot cake, now, can I count that as a veg? All the rhetorical questions.


All in favour, say, "Aye."

EDIT Also, I've not chosen banana once.
DBL EDIT Who the hell chooses banana?

Why not just brew your own...

For some reason my brewed coffee never tastes the same as DD or starbucks coffee.

Lemme preface this with --I am a coffee snob-- but a decent coffee maker and/or decent beans w/ your own grinder will taste waaaaaaay better than either DD or Starbucks. Even a grocery store whole bean ground right before you brew will make a HUGE difference. Plus there is a whole world of beans to try (at least before climate change accelerates and makes it all way more expensive).

https://www.amazon.com/Mr-Coffee-Electric-Settings-IDS77-RB/dp/B000BRLXUI - I've had an older model of this grinder for 10 years now
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N7VIDWY - recommended by Wirecutter. Makes a GREAT cup of coffee. Carafe has a design flaw tho.
I currently buy Mexican coffee beans but have been meaning to go back to Ethiopian origin beans again.

Good morning!

@jklmnop I'm a mild coffee snob and I do what you said except I use an aeropress with a metal filter. I used to grind the beans by hand and did pour-over and weighed everything every morning but it took too long - and the aeopress gives really good results without weighing things out. I like how small it is + no electricity. We're going to my parents for 10 days for Easter and they don't drink coffee so I'll be tossing the aeropress into the suitcase and mailing them some Jim's and I'll be all set with way-better-than-convenience-store coffee.

Oooh I've always wanted to try an Aeropress but never got around to it! They have such a good rep. Used a french press for years when I lived on my own but the 12-cup is way more convenient now.

@ItsAmyTee you ever think about having your own line of high quality, loose-leaf teas called It's Amy's Tea and then having a website online that sells the tea, and when you go check out, your total says It's Amy's Fee. Ever think about that?

My understanding is that dark roasts are actually safer (lower acrylamide levels). I've been meaning to talk to our coop about this (I'm looking for better labels on their coffee).
