What other brewing implement has it's own world championship event? That should tell you something right there. 8)

I think we need to get Smico down here next year and have a US-Canada Cezve throw-down competition for all the bragging rights.  We can let Smico recruit that bicycle bloke from British Columbia.  We would kick their butts back to Ottawa.  Milo/Yakster/Peter/BoldJava vs. Da' Canucks.

I don't think a superior device for building iced drinks will ever be invented.

At the price point not having one even just for a handful of iced drinks each summer is crazy talk.

Not the first or the last time I'll be called "crazy" :-))))

I just mean to say that you get so very much quality from ~$20 even at very little usage that it's worth buying for most people.

Yeah, it will be in the back of the cupboard for 97% of the time, and yeah most other devices will do better at x,y,x but when you stack it on top of a pint glass filled with ice and maybe some sweetened condensed milk....  magic!!

I understand that, but my iced coffees don't need any improvement (IMHO).
If they did I would consider it $$ well spent.

And anyway, I'm saving up for a new roaster....:-)))

What, what?  But now I get it...  I was reading Turkish coffee drags few days ago, looking for upcoming lotto numbers, and I saw something running away with a tail between its legs...  I could not figure out what the heck future was telling me, but now it's clear. You're gonna crumb like oatmeal cookies!

That image with the tail between the legs was that potential partner of yours in British Columbia, not the "Cevze Crushers."  Our team is assembled, complete with two subs, just in case you "Maple Leak-ers" attempt to poison our crew.  We have ordered stars and stripes for uniforms.  We have a logo and each uniform will be emblazoned with individual name and "Sons of the Stars and Stripes." 


We just signed Çağatay Baştürk of the Istanbul Steepers, as trainer/coach, in a 4-year deal, though we aren't releasing the contract numbers.  Tess Tasseography signed last winter to be our diviner.  Though old, she is still knows how "to read 'em."

I think we can bill this whole thing like a World Wrestling Federation (http://www.wwe.com/inside/superstars-on-kenta-26490548) event, charge admission, serve some Minnesota beer and bratwursts, peddle vacuum pots, rent Peter out to do his best Chippendale impression, have STaylor ride a unicycle, Yakster climbs some towers, Milo do his best demonstration of how to BBQ house panels, etc.  You can do some modeling with algorithms on the odds that the Canucks will get crushed in the competition and get a betting house set up in the Caribbean to keep book.


Bring it on, Leak-ers.

You guys should all take your hats off and then ask random pedestrians to please place Aeropress brewing tips inside. With all that combined hat storage space you guys might have a chance at making it out of the preliminary rounds.

Do I recognize Yankees/Miami Heat complex or what? 
Throwing money to get Cezve Super Stars all the way from Istanbul... 
But our ibrik will prevaaaail.  Look at the latest series where Blue Jays beat Yankees...  Or Spurs beat Miami...

I believe that you missed to post photograph of you and your super-chicken stars, so here it is:

This is not photo of you of course...  This is photo of Bold and his two Cezve Super Stars looking a bit lost after the battle.  I am reading the future again...

I was at CoffeeCon today, more on that later, and so was a Turkish coffee expert

...

It is fairly obvious to me that the Turkish fellow was there to steal your knowledge for the Maple Leakers.  The gauntlet has been thrown down and Gophers will thump the chumps.

Vegas has the opening odds at 2-5 for the Gopher Crushers, money line at -$300.
