Ehhh, I just chalk it up to that unusually flat head of yours.

Just to be clear that the responsibility for my moronic (flat headed) cupping review (and there are more to come!:eek:) is Mr. Kurwenal's...totally!

I mentioned the "new" coffees that I had received, and he said to be sure to post reviews.

I deny any responsibility for you folks who might feel the need to read my cupping review...let the blame fall where it belongs...Kurwenal... Kurwenal... Kurwenal!

Of course I blame someone else!

Do you think I want to take responsibility for that pathetic review and the agony I have inflicted on the readers? Not me...no siree...not me!

And if you don't watch your step, I'll blame you for my elevated cholesterol level, requiring me to take dangerous medications!:mad:

That's just the type of person he is. Blame everyone else and take no responsibility for himself or his actions.

And it's somehow your fault that I am that way.

I don't know how it's your fault...but I'll find a way to blame you in a minute...

It actually stands for Incompetent...but don't let it get around! :eek:

You spelled Incompetent wrong. What's wrong with the educational system these day!

And you shouldn't make fun of old people's problems.

Now where did I put those Depends...

And...on topic...it's caused by too much coffee!

'Cat fur' along with a hint of passion fruit and a subtle undertone of apricot - that is a fascinating review, and a very enjoyable sequence in the thread.

Had a rather nice French espresso today; the Italians in whose company I was disdained the French espresso, insisting that they only drank Italian espresso, not for reasons of narrow nationalism or blind patriotism, but simply because it is the best espresso. They sipped orange juice instead.

I'm assuming that the difference between French espresso and Italian espresso is the beans. Or is is the roast of the beans?

Actually, I never asked them, and so cannot state why.

In any case, I have learned that the certainty and reverence with which Italians discuss coffee and espresso is not something which is considered open to question or serious interrogation. When asked (by me) why they were not having an espresso - as I was - their reply was a dismissive reference to French espresso and a smiling assertion to the effect that Italian espresso was always far better, and, if they could not have the best, they would forego it completely.

well, my suggestion was to turn the first post of THIS thread into a wiki post.
so the thread can continue as before but, at the same time, the info disseminated along its pages can be re-gathered and organized into that post

Since disseminating coffee propaganda knowledge is this thread's mission, I like the idea of having a wiki on the first page.

I turned this thread into a Wiki. Have a look at the first post to see what I've been clamoring about. I filled it in with some preliminary stuff to give an idea of what I imagined it to be.

You'll notice that everyone can edit that post and add to, correct, or delete anything in it, for the benefit of all.

Great!

Having the Wiki and preserving the thread is, imo, the ideal solution.:D

I thought I had conceded to keeping this thread and turing it into a Wiki the other day, but backs were still turned against me.

I had other, [publicly] undisclosed reasons, for starting a new thread.

Now, that is an ideal and intelligent (thank you Don't Panic) way of marrying/merging the idea of incorporating the new 'Wiki' potential while yet preserving the (much cherished and deeply loved) old thread. Bravo, well done, SBG.
