Dash (dash.earthboy): we're using something here I haven't seen before: french press they call it
Play as Being 15 minute bell: Thank you.

Susan Sorensson (iwandertoo): good stuff
Dash (dash.earthboy): you just dump the grounds into the container, add boiling water, and after a few minutes push a filter down through the water
Dash (dash.earthboy): it carries the grounds down to the bottom and then allows you to squeeze the bottom grounds to gett out each little bit of flavor :)
Dash (dash.earthboy): What's your favorite instant Zen?
Zen (zen.arado): I use Nescafe espresso
Dash (dash.earthboy): yummy!
Susan Sorensson (iwandertoo): :)
Dash (dash.earthboy): i like that too :)
Zen (zen.arado): it is kinda fine powder
Dash (dash.earthboy): yah
Dash (dash.earthboy): i like rich, strong coffee best
Dash (dash.earthboy): my mother used to make it where you could read the newspaper through it :(
Zen (zen.arado): :)
Zen (zen.arado): it was mentioned in a little course I did recently

Zen (zen.arado): 'Reputedly, the first person to experience coffee’s stimulant effect was an
Ethiopian goat-herd, who witnessed his goats becoming increasingly lively as
they browsed on the fruits of a small shrub and then decided to try out the
fruits himself. This shrub is what we now know as coffee. At first, people
chewed the fruits or crushed them with fat as a food, or made a drink from
the leaves. Records dating back to the thirteenth century have been found
in Yemen and these mention the roasting of coffee seeds and the grinding
of them to make a drink. Religious worshippers drank coffee to keep
themselves awake during lengthy ceremonies'

Dash (dash.earthboy): sounds good to me :)
Dash (dash.earthboy): i like coffee-flavored brownies & such
Susan Sorensson (iwandertoo): could use some just now
Dash (dash.earthboy): brb
Zen (zen.arado): I only drink about one cup oerday
Susan Sorensson (iwandertoo): I ought to work on this
Susan Sorensson (iwandertoo): appreciate it more
Susan Sorensson (iwandertoo): I drink coffee as water

Zen (zen.arado): 'The best quality coffee is produced by Coffea arabica, which
is native to south-western Ethiopia and parts of Sudan. The West
African species Coffea canephora produces robusta coffee, which
has a stronger flavour than coffee made from Coffea arabica.'

Zen (zen.arado): too much caffeine for me
Zen (zen.arado): some get hooked on it
Zen (zen.arado): prefer Rooibos tea mostly
Susan Sorensson (iwandertoo): imagine so...
Zen (zen.arado): no caffeine and it has anti oxidants
