I've been thinking of my next project machine and had my eye on vintage La Pavonis. Many of you know how it is. You window shop online to take a break, do that a few times and it becomes a bit of an obsession. That project won't start right away because I'll fund it by rebuilding an Oscar. But anyway I've had peacocks on my mind. So we're driving to dinner last night and see some colorful birds crossing the road. Talk about the original La Pavoni ...

My first thought was they cost $250-$300 a piece for an exotic reverse sear smoked poultry Q dinner! Maybe one of these days.

When I was getting Yemen the "rocks" were bits of concrete from the decaying drying pads. If that counts' then yes, the Yemen had the most of all coffees I have gotten.

Hair Care as coffee parts, works in a pinch when you break the glass catch cup (it rolled off the counter at work). I saved off the styling putty in a covered ramekin, the ones I normally use to put my shaving soap pucks in, and the product was $1 off so it's a win-win.

I did clean it out pretty well, ground Starbucks holiday blend into it, ran it through the dishwasher, and ground more Starbucks holiday blend in it to get out any styling putty smell. It holds 25 grams of coffee. I keep the bag of Starbucks around for deodorizer and other projects. It was sure easy to grind in my Lido 2 compared to my lighter roasts.

Man banned from US Airways after mid-flight Aeropress incident

Wow, I guess I missed the news about the ban on in-flight brewing devices.

I guess the best option is to brew at the terminal in an Impress / Presse which keeps the coffee hot for hours, or just forgo coffee.
