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!

My most meaningful and intense hifi "drug" is the warm blanket of self satisfaction that envelops me when I listen to my rig and bask in the knowledge that I assembled it all by myself and since it is SO good, I must also be good. This by itself feels amazing, although it is highly addictive and might not be for everybody.

Wolf, Narcissistic and Audiophilistic tendencies can never coexist peacefully.
It is a constant struggle...

"I find with French Press, can never get the water hot enough and it cools off too fast. Is there a trick?"

The trick is actually the Frieling press. All others pale in comparison. It's fully insulated, even the top. The coffee only has to steep for 4 minutes so it's very hot when you pour it. I boil water in a LeCreuset kettle on the stove.

Read the reviews of the Frieling on Amazon.

Well...I'm not ACTUALLY good but my rig makes me THINK I am, and that's good enough for me!

Donjr, My unit is not insulated so by the time it's ready to drink, it has cooled.

Frieling looks interesting so will pick one up.

Thanks!
