are we also coffee connoisseurs? Or wine enthusiasts?


I was thinking when I made my espresso this morning.

But maybe enjoying music (and passionately committing to the rituals and the environment conducive to enjoying music) has more to do with wine? Scotch? Cognac?

or do you ears work best when....?

Lol, My wife likes Caribou coffee and I like Peets or this place in KC, MO called The Roasterie. Neat place with tours and tastings. As for spirits, I alike Pinots & Tawny Ports and she likes just about everything.😅. I barely drink anymore, but she does give me a small taste of most things.

I have a small roaster and buy green beans from Coffee Corral on the web.  I have a technivorm pot which brews water at the 170 temp!  Then I put on the music and just be present.  Yes!

I get my coffee from a nearby commercial roaster. Nothing like getting your coffee roasted the day you buy it. Nothing fresher (I'm spoiled). I only get Iwaki beans (Papa New Guinea), grind them myself and use the pour over method. Don't forget to let it seep for 4 minutes after pouring and that way, you get the most flavor possible.

As for wine, I stick to reds.

All the best,

I get Yurgachef beans that have a blue berry note. Amazingly good.  I love wine but can't get past the martini these days because Thelonius sounds so live on my system

I like coffee and drink good coffee made with a french press but wine is my job and my passion.
