    French press, stainless steel, double-walled, if I'm not mistaken. Maybe Bodum Colombia?

    Up next, we have to have a discussion with @11thGenSoutherner to find out how he's storing his beans... I know how long he's had them and wonder if that Mexican has anything left in it.

    Vacuum sealed in the deep freeze. The airtight jar holds only what we're drinking for the short future.

    Enjoying blueberry notes this morning in my home-roasted coffee from Ethiopia.

    Interesting idea, a per-cup automatic roaster that looks like it is being aimed at corporate environs, probably expensively priced.

    If it replaces those stupid Keurigs with their plastic cup for every time you want to make coffee then I'm for it.

    What is green coffee rehydration & could it help specialty coffee roasters?

    I may have found a new home for my 1950's Faema Faemina spring lever espresso machine, depending on how well I beg forgiveness tonight. I should probably move it a bit so that the steam from the espresso machine isn't so close to the light switch.

    Very interesting, especially the groupings, but I couldn't find Liberica.

    Cafe Imports has an interesting blog post: Pink…Bourbon?: Cryptozoology and Genetics in Specialty Coffee

    TLDR: Pink Bourbon is an Ethiopian landrace variety, not a Bourbon at all.

    Also, a local favorite coffee roaster is giving away a cup of coffee Friday or Sunday for National Coffee Day or International Coffee Day. Might take 'em up on that.

    I suppose if the pink bourbon isn't good you could add a little yellow bourbon to it.

    don't roast coffee if you have the flu....

    "New research suggests that short-term exposure to a chemical compound created in the coffee roasting process may have damaging effects on lung health when paired with a second exposure, such as the flu."

    Do you like coffee? If you like you must meet me at Poma's Cafe. ☕ She has the worst coffee that you will love. I don't know how she does It but her awful coffee tastes so good. I was there yesterday! We can go there anytime!

    https://dailycoffeenews.com/2022/11/30/german-researchers-say-its-plausible-coffee-can-prohibit-covid-infection/

    In laboratory testing, the team determined that a cup of regular filter coffee contains approximately 100 milligrams of chlorogenic acid, a concentration that was found to be “high enough to prevent the docking of the spike protein to the ACE-2 receptor — and therefore also inhibit the infection process.”

    Must be why I only caught covid once. ;)

    Awesome coffee! I don’t know that I ever caught the bat fever. But I’m still wondering if I ever had a very mild case though. Was all that talk about asymptomatic infections bull crap? Or real? I have not heard anything about that in a long time.

    https://talker.news/2023/11/21/used-coffee-ground-may-help-prevent-alzheimers-and-parinksons-study/

    The scientists, from the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP), found that caffeic-acid-based Carbon Quantum Dots (CACQDs), which are easily obtained from spent coffee grounds, have the potential to protect brain cells from damage caused by several NDs if the condition is triggered by factors such as obesity, age and exposure to pesticides and other toxic environmental chemicals.
    ...
    The CACQDs were found to be able to eject free radicals or prevent them from causing damage and stop the build-up of amyloid protein fragments without causing any significant side effects.
    ...
    Caffeic acid belongs to a family of compounds called polyphenols; plant-based compounds known for their antioxidant or free radical-scavenging properties.

    It is unique as it can penetrate the blood-brain barrier and is therefore able to exert its effects upon the cells inside the brain.

    The researchers extracted CACQDs from used coffee grounds using an environmentally-friendly 'green chemistry' process in which they 'cook' the grounds at 200 degrees for four hours to reorient the caffeic acid's carbon structure, forming CACQDs.

    Edit: Rachel is all hot to jump in and try eating treated grounds, I am doing my best to rein her in and urge caution-- I don't want her to overdose on caffeine, lol.
