Think man, think! Repeat after me, "Good coffee = espresso or vac pot."

Thank you for bringing me back to my senses! I was about to go for the pretty shiny geometric shape, but remembered that Newco sitting on our fridge collecting dust and the vintage '36 Silex stove-top vac that is just too big to use. Espresso or Hario vac!Glad I could help! Maybe we should start a counseling service to help folks simplify their lives in these confusing times? slippery slope!! next thing you know some one will come along trying to simplify your life with a can of pre ground coffee or ~gasp~ buyers club card for *$Then the answer is to start a seminar program like EST/Context, where we can take these lost folks and give them in-depth help. Do you think it'd fit under the GCBC umbrella or should we strike out on our own?I see it now; a one-week process where our experts could teach the miscreants the difference between good coffee and dreck. Then there'd be sessions teaching the novices how to use the various devices. Then a one-week in-depth residence program in Etheopia, where we'd take the new initiates to the farms to pick their own beans.Wow, I can just see the coffee improvement movement sweeping the country. We'd be a power to be reckoned with!
