I like my coffee like I like my chocolate and men - the stronger and richer the better. Well at least hubby is a strong guy and I am rich to have him.
Here is how we snobs do the coffee. We use a
Bodum Santos vacuum coffee maker.
The most famous coffee roasters of the West coast would not disagree that even the highest quality of coffee beans and the most sophisticated roast will not make a good cup of coffee without the right brewing system. Even the most sophisticated coffee scientists of the famous coffee houses all over the world will not disagree that brewing coffee might be a less scientific matter than an emotional if brewed the right way. Anyhow Bodum happens to have the only vacuum brewing system which satisfy both the coffee roasters of the west and their fellow scientists. We listened carefully to all of them, but unfortunately this did not meet our obligation to make the best coffee maker in the world. We had to add more than four decades of Bodum coffee experience and the famous BODUM design to create the electric vacuum coffee brewer BODUM SANTOS. The science of every day thinking. Off the power base you serve 6-12 cups of freshly brewed coffee with as strong and delicious taste, as if it came from a Bodum French press. A taste made possible with a high tech heating system developed especially for the Bodum Santos. No paper filters to make the coffee dull! Just a small easy cleaned micron nylon filter for a smooth and even cleaner coffee. An entirely closed brewing process where no aroma escape and where the relation between temperature and time has come to an ultimate perfection. A good grip handle and lid for easy one-hand pouring. No hassle...! 12 cups of coffee in less than 8 minutes Or a French press.
We also have a burr grinder. Then we order beans from my friend Chris. Chris has been an internet friend on a Mac forum for almost 10 years. He works at an espresso and roasting company. I cannot say enough about how great these beans. Rich but never, ever bitter.
Here is a link to his site at the Green Frog Roasting Company.
Right now I email when I need to order more. But news from the site says:
Green Frog Roasting Company is working to bring you click and buy online purchasing. Until then, please continue to phone or email your orders for the freshest gourmet coffee beans available. We thank you for your support!
Look at the foam from a French press.
And the Nascar President even drinks it

Oh and if anyone orders any ask for Chris and tell him iRock sent you. He knows me under that name.
Sorry you asked now? That was long-winded but we love our coffee!
