I have tasted the future… and it is good.
A few days ago our coffeemaker broke. I know- I should have told you all but I didn’t want you to panic. I immediately got control of the situation and seized the opportunity to upgrade the Adkins coffee arsenal. You see, in our ascent up the ladder of coffee snobbery, we’ve already acquired makers for Arabic, Vietnamese and Puerto Rican coffee. We’ve also begun buying our beans freshly roasted from a local roaster. But now, after seeing much fuss made over burr grinders at Sean Bonner’s site, we have completed the collection.
Enter the new weapons of mass caffeination:
DeLonghi DCG59 Retro Burr Grinder
Bodum Santos Vacuum Coffeemaker
Bodum Eileen 3-Piece Coffee Press Gift Set
I’ve actually been looking into these things for a while; I just had to wait for the coffeemaker to slip into oblivion before I could make my move. And let me tell you- it is much more than worth it. Combined, they don’t even cost as much as a nice auto-drip, but they put out coffee that’s ten times better.
I’ll geek out with you later on why they make a better cup o’ joe, but all you need to know right now is it tastes freakin awesome.

Gil Valdez added these pithy words on Apr 28 04 at 6:46 amI am so Greatful Ed to see that you have not forsaken the “Holy Bean”. Many times it is so important to see the miracle powers, and now a new temple for the bean had come to you as a Gift. Hope you use it in the wisest ways, like venturing out on faith to try even “Newer flavors” of coffee, to bring lots of joy to others with your giving love of “The Bean”. I know the surface has not been even scratched, because you need to go out and get more “Temlpes” for the bean; Coffee mugs, thermos’ ( both for work, recreation, and camping), a couple grinders so that you don’t mix oils, and what ever else you can think of. Then you can sell T-shirts and implement this into your lounge act as well.
