Having my second cup now.
Enjoy.
Even when I dabble with Kenyan, or other coffees that I know to be (and accept are) excellent, Yirgacheffe draws me like none other.
Prepared a lovely pot (Le Creuset) of freshly ground Kenyan coffee.
Yirgacheffe, pressed. Hoping to start Foyle's War. It's been what, 12 weeks since I mentioned wanting to watch it?
Yirgacheffe and Foyle's War?
How wonderful. What a perfectly divine way to spend a day. I'm actually almost envious.
I don't put anything into my coffee, other than coffee, water and love......the only exception is the occasional cuban espresso. Come to think of it, I think I'll go make one of those right now.
Did you now?
Hm.
It is clear that what is understood by the noun "cup" can vary considerably.....
My day, as almost always, started with an Ethiopian coffee.

I'm sure we'll be happy to spend your money, too. Just ask.

Making a cup of tea just to go against the flow!

We will be more than happy to spend your money on coffee, coffee pots, coffee cups, coffee grinders, and anything and everything to do with coffee......
So, do, please post when you desire advice, suggestions, guidance, on the matter of coffee...
Do I detect the posts of a coffee heretic?
Well the only coffee in my house has an 'I' in the name!
Settled on a hot chocolate instead.
That substance preceded by a qualifying noun which commences with the letter "i", does not merit - in any way - the appellation of coffee, because "coffee" it is not.
But do enjoy your hot chocolate.
Sceptical, you'll be disappointed to know I didn't get around to starting the series at all the other day. I was very tired. Also very tired last night. Tired today, too. Bad weather and howling winds had me drifting in and out of sleep. I did, however, order a DVD set of Secret Army as per your recommendation from about two years ago to watch it since I enjoyed the comedy spinoff of it, Allo Allo. I'm not sure when I'll get around to watching that. In the summer, I ordered the original Mission Impossible TV show DVD set, and I've only watched the first episode.
And to get back to topic because I have a terrible habit of taking this thread off topic, double espresso with sweetened steamed milk on the side.

Ah, Foyle's War and Secret Army? Gosh. I'm envious.
Re Foyle's War, this is one of those series where you close the door, settle in a nice armchair, pour yourself Something Nice to drink, and switch off (that is, switch off, not just put on silent) your phone. And then, just lose yourself in it and enjoy.
Usually what I do. I either watch in my home office our in our den. Which rarely gets use. I turn my cell phones to silent when I get home or off completely. If someone needs to reach me, they can call our landline or drop me an email. Speaking of which, have you seen the Maigret television films starring Rowan Atkinson? They're clever period pieces. Very good.
Having a cup of Rwandan with milk and brown sugar.
Have you ever tried blending Rwandan with - say - Kenyan coffee, or with Ethiopian coffee?
My coffee this morning was Ethiopian, just as my coffee most mornings, is Ethiopian.
