Is Espresso Really 'Good' Coffee?
idontunderstand:
I prefer cappucino but the only reason is that espresso makes me shake to the point where I resemble a Parkinson patient.

Business bulk-buy coffee. I've had Seattle's Best though, and good brands from french presses and the like...I just can't taste a difference. I mean I wish I could, friends have been 'omg isn't this coffee the best' and all I can say is 'it's sure...coffee flavored.' All I can tell is if a coffee is too strong or weak for me, but other than that, it just all tastes the same.
But to be honest, lots of cheeses, herbs, spices, meats, sauces, etc taste alike to me too. It's probably just my taste buds, expensive gourmet brands might as well be generic store brands for all the difference it makes to my mouth.

Are you a smoker? 'cause that'll kill your sense of taste quicker than anything. I still can't understand how Anthony Bourdain has a job... must be his personality.
Also, I haven't seen a Speedway since I left Indiana... what, 16 years ago? I went there for college. It took 15 years (three degrees, though). Aren't they home-based in Indianapolis (hence the name)?
Yes, this is a roundabout way of asking where you are located. It's not just women. :laugh:

*cough* Yee-eeesss... I am now... I had quit for about 2 years and then fell off the wagon due to multiple stresses and now I um, need to quit again. D; But I only smoke about a pack every two weeks so...that's not.......so bad? Aheh.
I don't know why I didn't think of that as the culprit, derp, but yea, I killed my tongue myself I guess. Dx
And haha yea! I live in Indianapolis actually, and I grew up in southern Indiana, down near Evansville. And yea, they are, although I actually never put two and two together, haha xD I actually live about eight minutes from the Speedway racetrack -- this weekend was especially enjoyable, working third shift, staggering home to sleep and being serenaded when I finally get in bed by the lullaby of the race. 8D Like angels singing it was.

When my wife and I were married (25 years ago last week), the Saturday in May we picked happened to be the Saturday of race weekend. We weren't in Indy at the time (West Lafayette, I'm a former boilermaker), but the hotels were booked for two hours in any direction from Indy. The visiting members of the wedding party were put up in single rooms we could find here and there all over the area...
For several years my in-laws lived in Brownsburg, practically across the street from the speedway. They left town for the week of the race every year, just to avoid all the drunken fans.

I have a standard coffee pot, a percolator, and a keurig.
The coffee pot burns everything.. the only thing I can do is shove my cup under the stream and get some before the pot scorches it.
the percolator kind of sucks some of the flavor out of the coffee, but makes a great aroma in the process. Maybe I'm doing it wrong :/
The keurig is pretty good, but the little pods are expensive and typically make a very smooth but not super-strong cup. I think it gets the temperature right, but not quite the duration of brewing time necessary for a real strong cup. But there's an adapter out there that lets you brew your own stuff in there. It's pretty fun to try different bulk coffees that you buy by the pound and make your own samples to find what you like best.

I have no idea what you mean by "standard coffee pot".
