How To Make Coffee
9 things to know about coffee
This is not intended to be an exhaustive analysis of how to make coffee, but simply an over view of different coffee methods answering the question, how to make coffee, and some quick tips.
1. Fresh cool water.
The more water it is, rather than additives like chlorine and fluoride, the better. No, you're almost certainly not going to get hold of completely pure water however reverse osmosis water is a fine choice. Usually though city water is okay, but it will flavor your water. Think about it, the main ingredient is water!
2. Grind
Grind your own beans just prior to making that delicious brew, if you have a grinder that is. If you buy pre-ground coffee buy it is the smallest containers you can!

Starbucks Drive Through - But Why?
At my day job the other day the topic of Starbucks came up, and as neither I, nor any of my co-workers, had taken a break I opted to take the subject deeper, you know, for the sake of clarity. And for the sake of an article.
For those of you who, for some unknown and likely God forsaken reason read this site regularly (get a life already!) my apologies in not keeping the flow of stuff coming. As I watch our Facebook page grow for no known reason, and look at the stats of this site I'm dumbstruck that you folks actually read the tripe I scribble out on an irregular basis, which of course make me feel guilty by not scribbling more of it. "Nonsense," I say to myself, "just write when the mood strikes, damn the torpedoes! You do this, for free I might add, because you want to!" Guilt however is sometimes stronger than rationality, and I humbly take keyboard to task to craft something not entirely unreadable.

Coffee Beans Cha Cha Cha
While thinking of a title for this entry I remembered the Coffee Beans Cha Cha Cha Western Airlines TV commercial, the one where the cartoon bird, (parrot?) is riding on top of a Western Airlines plane, sitting with his back against the vertical stabilizer (most people would call this the rudder, but the rudder is the movable area at the tail end of the vertical stabilizer) while a steward or stewardess brings him cool things while on his flight. The end of the commercials, which sometimes featured hand made pizza, or a lion tamer for entertainment, or whatever, always ended with "Western Airlines, the only way to fly". It wasn't, and still isn't, but whatever.
One of these commercial had the steward dancing towards the bird passenger (birdssenger?) in a poncho and sombrero, I think, singing "Coffee beans, cha cha cha, coffee beans cha cha cha..." followed by the bird with a cup of delightful coffee and saying his famous line about Western being the only way to fly. That commercial more than any other stuck with me. Gosh, the things I remember. We'll be back to coffee stuff after the jump...
Anyhow, that became the title, and I tried to find a video clip of this commercial but could not, for whatever reason.
Back to coffee now. And coffee beans.
