Drink MD 20/20 and seltzer.
Do you indulge when listening to your rig?
I was curious how many audiophiles have a glass of wine or beer when listening to their system. I myself on occasions have done this with excellent results, although it's not a habit. If you were going to have a serious listening session would you, or would not have a drink. Thanks for viewing this thread!

For my coffee consumption, I use a 42 ounce Frieling French Press. I hand grind Jamaican Blue Mountain beans in a Kyocera CM-50 with a modified lower bearing to assure consistency of grind.I find with French Press, can never get the water hot enough and it cools off too fast. Is there a trick? My main coffee is Trader Joe French Roast using Krup Burr grinder and drip coffee maker. As I'm writing, enjoying a bottle of Shiraz, roast duck with Carmen McRae in As Time Goes By. |
I agree that coffee use is behind the global curve when here, in America, but there is hope. I recently got hooked on freshly roasted whole beans (2-3 days old) thanks to someone who used to sell his coffee at a local open market. He went away which led me to search out a great coffee roasting company not 2 miles from where I live and now I get some of the best, fresh roasted coffee in Los Angeles. They even coarse grind it for my french press but I do miss the ritual of grinding my own in my Hario hand grinder. Kinghifi, I don't know what to recommend for getting the water hot enough but simply boiling it in a kettle works for me. I have to let it sit for a minute lest I burn myself. Once you've tried fresh roasted, whole bean coffee, store bought, Starbucks, and the rest all blow, big time. For anyone interested in the place where I go, here's a link: http://www.groundworkcoffee.com/ and they have another site: http://supremebean.com/ They can mail it to you if it's too far a drive but the cost may negate the bargain. But if you love a good cup of Joe...... All the best, Nonoise |
