I've had it. Enjoy it. I still have an ibrik that I break out on occasion when I can get finely ground (Turkish) coffee for it. You basically 'float' a metric butt load of sugar and coffee and then bring it to a fine bubble (near a beginning boil) three times. The result is thick, black, super sweet coffee. It often has clove, allspice, or cardamom in it depending on where you bought the coffee.
It's great and packs a wallup, but be careful with how much you consume in a sitting....there's a thin line between a perky afternoon and 3 hours of diarrhea.

Close but no cigar. Processed through the translator it comes out: The time and money went to a family. I regret nothing but look back with such fondness that sometimes I wonder if I had my fill before moving on.815DC wrote: ↑Wed Oct 16, 2019 6:20 amProcessed through the translator:kurtdesign1 wrote: ↑Tue Oct 15, 2019 11:34 amI miss blackdog coffee.

Re: What Coffee are you drinking?
You can still get your fill with a family, and you seem to do a better job at it than most. You do well curating your cigar time and enjoyment. I've always thought your approach to cigars is pretty efficient and admirable, in terms of savoring each one and allotting time while being fully willing to keep the hobby in check (not allowing it to become burdensome or to interfere with family, which should take priority).kurtdesign1 wrote:Close but no cigar.

My line was more of a ‘man we are starting to get old’ or ‘time flies’ type thing Craig. Not saying u wasting your time now. That said some Blackdog coffee is only a click or humble request away.

We're all good brother. I'm unsure how I initially took that but know that it wasn't negative.815DC wrote: ↑Wed Oct 16, 2019 5:55 pmkurtdesign1 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 16, 2019 9:17 amClose but no cigar.

Re: What Coffee are you drinking?
That's an interesting take and funny, considering my previous comments. You're admiring my take and I'm waxing on about days gone by and my former obsession. I was once your description and I relish the passion and ability to feel that way without pushing something else to the side. I think I just want it all; my current take on things and my past. Basically, I just want the Start trek 26 hour dayKip wrote: ↑Wed Oct 16, 2019 9:44 amYou can still get your fill with a family, and you seem to do a better job at it than most.
