As those of you who know and love the Captain StL are aware, I have been suffering from an overwhelming urge to do nothing but stay at home and feed my iPod. Yep. That and drink coffee. No eating, no housework, no writing, no watching Netflix offerings. Just feeding the iPod.
Then, I stumble across this site (where have you been?) and realize there is yet a whole new world of things to obsess about.
Following the great Francis Francis espresso machine debacle in September, the thought of owning my own machine has been rattling about my brain. I still believe that making espresso is something I would rather leave to professionals, and not a task that I wish to perform for myself. However, the extremely civilized after-dinner espresso at Scout’s place, and the wish to start drinking Teeccino lattes (Teeccino brewed like coffee is undrinkable) again, makes me think that a machine might grace my counters one day…
BUT, here’s the thing…according to Mark Prince, founder and reviewer at Coffeegeek.com, what you need to invest in is a coffee grinder!
“A good grinder is far more important, but people always skimp on it. I’ve made far better espresso with a $300 grinder and a $250 espresso machine than with a $50 grinder and a $2,000 espresso machine.”
It’s always something…

coffeegeek!?!? if only you had come up with that name first, o captain! an entire site for people just like you...huzzah! instead of hard or soft, i guess this is liquid porn.
Yes, you are right. I really should have come up with that. I've been slacking off. But It seems that StarbucksTripleGrandeLatte.com is available...
