+Good afternoon.
+I'm here to talk to you today about something that is near and dear to my heart, and probably
+near and dear to most of yours as well, and that's coffee.
+Before I get started, I want to tell you what this isn't.
+This is not me telling you what the best way to make coffee is.
+This is not me telling you your way of coffee making is wrong.
+This is simply me sharing the way I make coffee that I have found is the best for my tastes.
+Hopefully it's of interest to someone.
+So here goes.
+First let's break down of my coffee producing equipment.
+And there'll be pictures of most of these things linked to in the show notes.
+I'm going to throw them up on my personal website.
+First of all, I have the grinder.
+I have an old-fashioned hand crank grinder I inherited from my in-laws that was attached
+to one of their many antique pieces of furniture.
+You put the coffee in, you turn the handle, it grinds.
+I've got the grinder set to as coarse as it will possibly go.
+And the reason I have it set so coarsely is because of the pot that I use.
+I use an electric percolator, which I also inherited from my in-laws.
+It's a corningware pot probably 12 inches tall, maybe a little taller if my estimation
+skills are rather awful.
+To an electric percolator, plug it into the wall, you put a heating element down in,
+coffee burping lights up, 10 minutes later, you have hot, delicious coffee.
+I know, I know, I can hear you already saying, but percolators are one of the worst ways
+to make coffee.
+That might be true, and I'll admit that that is true if you plan on letting your coffee
+stay in the percolator for a long period of time, or if you're using a percolator right
+on a stove.
+In both of those cases, the coffee gets too hot, you get too much bitterness, and it's
+just kind of awful.
+But with the percolator, I've got, you plug it into the wall, and my recommendation is
+to enjoy the coffee within an hour and a half, two hours, because after that it does get
+a little burnt and bitter tasting, and it's kind of terrible.
+So I get rid of it.
+So I filled you out my grinder, told you about my pot, let me tell you about my beans.
+I buy my beans a pound at a time, or whatever suffices for a bag these days, I think it's
+mid-beats only 12 ounces, but I tend to lean towards mostly Starbucks, also peets, but
+really anything that's beans and is dark.
+My absolute go-to roast is Sumatra.
+There's something about those beans, and the way they roast it is delicious, and earthy,
+and it's just really, really good coffee.
+When I can't find Sumatra, which is more often than I'd like, I'll go with an Italian roast,
+a French roast, and a espresso roast, please note that there is no X in that word.
+It is not espresso, it is espresso.
+All of the crappy dime-a-dozen coffee chains that are not espresso chains will always put
+an X in there, and it really bakes my noodle.
+Okay.
+So you've got your grinder, your pot, your beans, so how much?
+I put between four and six heaping spoonfuls of beans per pot of six to eight cups of tap water,
+and my super-accurate fancy plastic ware out of a box dime-a-dozen spoon is my super-accurate
+measurement there.
+And the four to six is really, how awake am I, and how strong do I want this to be.
+I grind one to two days worth of beans, and I store them in a container, not super airtight,
+because I don't have one, but it's actually an old chip dip container that I'm continuing
+to recycle.
+Put the water in the pot, put the coffee in the pot, turn the pot on, and wait about
+10 minutes where you can just hear the burp-a-lating, and then you hear it stop, and you're
+like, oh yes, coffee, and I enjoy my coffee within an hour and a half, two hours, and there
+it is.
+If you don't like how that, how I make my coffee, record an episode, tell us how you make
+yours.
+Tell me I'm completely bonkers, tell me there's a better way, I'm completely up for that.
+If there's a better way to make coffee, yay, better coffee.
+If you want to get in touch with me, you can reach me at my email address, which is x1101
+at gmx.com.
+I have a GPG key, which is available on all of the key servers, so I can read encrypted
+mail and do prefer that if you're so inclined.
+I can also be reached over on the GNU social status net kind of verse at x1101 at micro.fragdev.com.
+I'm also on IRC, predominantly on free node as x1101, you can find me on Twitter, and that
+might be all the places you can find me.
+So here's a short little hacker public radio on how I make my coffee.
+Thanks for listening.
