Basic Instructions by Scott Meyer for September 16, 2013

Ironically, I just bought a loud messy power tool to drink better coffee.

Chocolate covered coffee beans: simpler and no need for effete power tools.

I believe the medical myths about caffeine have been debunked. It actually helps your brain work better, and the increase in heart rate is only temporary and very slight. Coffee, at least, is good for you in moderation. Sugar, not so much.

I hate to boast, but I do my own roast. (I feel like Dr. Seuss) Once you roast your own coffee, everything else is lame.

Use a power drill with a mixing blade to stir your coffee. It’s very masculine and you cut down on your coffee drinking too. Of course, the drawback is people nearby complain about being coated in coffee… But then nothing is perfect!

I agree with J Short. Not only is it less expensive than buying whole beans, but you can control the roast and drink it within a few days of roasting (it usually helps to let it rest). Check out SweetMarias.com.

She probably means Khan Noonien Singh, but I can think of other Khans….

I sometimes buy whole bean coffee and grind it at home, (or at the store). I fail to see how this is effeminate.
