Do you indulge when listening to your rig?

When I use the French Press I pour really hot water in and push down the press to heat the metal strainer and stem. I let that stay there until the water in the kettle is boiling then dump it out add coffee and boiling water. It does stay much hotter that way.

Yes you must buy a coffee grinder and grind your own. store the beans in an air tight container. Do not put in the refrigerator, it causes the oil to come out of the beans.

I owned a Grammer guitar for 40 years or something...just like Slim Witman! Also, I've never plugged a guitar amp into the ACE515...too much work schlepping an amp from the studio area into the hifi room. And my current fave guitar amp was made in Kentucky.

Beer, wine or some tasty rum with excellent results. Helps me get over the shortcomings of my system.

I have never made coffee at home, but this thread has inspired me.
Just ordered a Frieling French press and Hario hand grinder. Also a subscription to Craft Coffee. Sorry Wolf, back to the thread...
