So, how's it going with your new Cuisinart Grind-'n-Brew?

I don't have any Cuisinart products, they are just consumer level
machines.

Conair Corp hasn't added any value to Cuisinart since they
took it over in 1989 from Carl Sontheimer.

It wasn't until 1994 that Rizzuto of Conair got Cuisinart to
bring out it's first coffee maker.

If you want a good cheap straight forward machine look at
the Rancilio Siliva, it lacks a separate steam boiler tank, but
we're talking about a usable unit for about $500 u.s.

Claire, you of all people, I never thought you would

Ok, I guess it makes sense, after all you ride Shimano,
don't you?

*I* don't do coffee pods. Senseo makers have taken Seattle by storm, though,
so I thought maybe you had been caught up in the maelstrom. Go over to
seattle.eats and see the thread "coffee pods" for a flavor of it.

Me, I drink tea.

I like 'em both. Just like the Mills Bros tune says.
Actually, I go for a while on one, and then start
missing the taste of the other. So I alternate.

A nice, robust cup of Ceylon Black or Darjeeling
would really hit the spot right now. I just got home
from work, backfilling & compacting in an excavation,
in the pouring rain. I'm still struggling out of wet
clothes. The ride home was grueling.

mmm ... gruel. And a cup of anything hot.

cheers,
Tom

I use if for a hair rinse.

I'm just jivin'.

The first time I tasted this "new" chai stuff was ~1977 in "Sidhu's
kitchen". A sorta restaurant Sidhu opened around the back and upstairs
in his apartment on W. 4th Ave.

I got an education in teas from a soon to be Buddhist nun.
One of the most unique teas I ever tasted was grown on an old vanilla
plantation. I tasted lots of the green teas too but the whole ritual
with those dinky cups gets tired fast. I'd prefer a pre-heated mug of
some smokey black tea, maybe with milk or sugar if its for a boost.

A long hot shower is just the ticket
after working all day in the rain.

Better yet, take a bath, make tea
out of yourself. Don't drink it though.

Hey Tom you don't pick up your jobs at the corner of Ontario and 2nd do
you? My son and I ride by there every AM just after 7:00 and there are
always people waiting for day stuff.

I believe that spot is known as Cash Corner. No, I'm
a real employee, albeit a common labourer, with the
Trasolini Chetner Construction Co (with whom my opinions,
antics, etc stated here are completely unrelated.)
I was picking up labour temp work at Labour Ready for
a while, before.

cheers,
Tom

Yeah, that's the stuff. A good shot of theine itself,
without sugar, gives me a fair kickstart.

The eagle [censored] today, so maybe I'll head over to
Murchie's this weekend and get a tin of Ceylon Black,
and see if they still have those nice, plain white
porcelain cups & saucers.

Green teas have their occasional virtues too. I find
Oolong is a good antidote for the lingering aftereffects
of curry.

cheers,
Tom

I figure how we start our days has a lot to do with
how we finish them, and cycle-commuters can use every
advantage they can grab. Sometimes a nice cup of tea
is a good start. Later on, a Cafe Americaino or some
such thing, for a mid-day boost.

cheers,
Tom

No, never tea.

Check out pictures of pro riders like Ivan Basso or
Me at the Village Depart or on the team bus before
lining up a the start of Giro della Liguria or the
Settimana Ciclistica Lombarda, and you won't find
us sipping tea.

We will be drinking coffee.

My favourite barista usually pulls her lungo a little too fast but
she's cute so gets a tip anyway.

I'll drink tea if I'm sick or when they serve it at the sushi bar.

1913 H.N. Suarage Sr. of Baton Rouge grinds some roasted beans to put

Arizona Green Tea, a beverage and an addiction.

My fave breakfast consists of a fried ham steak sandwiched
between two waffles, topped with a huge pat of butter and
two over easies and a couple of rashers of bacon, and
rained-on with a righteous spillage of maple syrup (I Am
Canadian), and a few mugs of anything dark, strong &
stimulating to wash it all down.

Guinness!

Although, anybody I ever met who drank beer for breakfast, drinks
