MSN Crushed Eggshells Are The Secret To Better Cups Of Coffee[^] Have not yet attempted but looking forward to.
"Much becomes obvious in hindsight, ... Yet it is striking how in both physics and mathematics there is a lack of Βproportion between the effort needed to understand something for the first time and the simplicity and naturalness of the solution once all the required stages have been completed." - Giorgio Parisi, recipient of the 2021 Nobel Prize in Physics

Crushed eggshells are almost pure calcium carbonate, which one can get in most pharmacies. I'd rather add that to my coffee than something that has been in direct contact with a chicken's cloaca.
(The inside of the egg hasn't been in direct contact, which is why I eat the inside of eggs.)

Thank you for the information however I am not certain CaCO2 powder can easily be filtered out as I have enough difficulty w/ so called "stalling".

That sounds about as appetising as using glue to keep the cheese on your pizza.

I've done it all my life.
They do taste kinda funny,
But it keeps them on the knife!

I attempted it today. The brew seemed somewhat smoother than usual. Maybe I should try it on pizza too to take the edge off the glue.

Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing pizza[^].

Just stick with cowboy coffee. All else is for wimps!

When I was old enough (maybe 10) I was weened on cowboy coffee.
It was the coffee of choice for my Father.
It was The Army version of coffee in the field was cowboy coffee.
My coffee of choice now is from a drip machine.

The title is misleading. Should say "For the Coffee Snobs". I drink coffee every day, but its just a bit of Folgers and I'm quite satisfied.

Same here. My wife and I prefer the simple Maxwell House Columbian. I'm only a snob* about the coffee maker. If it isn't a Bunn it's going to make crappy coffee for my tastes.
*Okay, I'm a snob about a few other things, but let's not change the subject.

The only coffees I drink are brands that use only Arabica beans. Cheap coffee made with anything else, like Robusta beans, taste like cr@p!
Ok, I have had my coffee, so you can all come out now!

Greetings Kind Regards
I just ordered Yuban from Amazon as it has the lowest acrylamide content. The best coffee I ever had was Folgers ground many years ago. That's another story. I will say though it actually tasted like coffee . Since then I have yet to taste a coffee which tastes like coffee despite spending modest sums in the search. That's the story.

There's a chain of coffee shops near my office in London that advertises that use robusta in preference to pure arabica!

This makes no sense!

It all sounds a bit desperate to me. If you're not enjoying your coffee, why not drink something else instead? Coffee's pretty overrated anyway, IMHO.

What the he$$ is it with companies and management deciding that MORE meetings mean better productivity?
Over the past couple of years (with the new CEO of the corp I no longer support), there has been a deliberate push to put as much as possible at the company headquarters. They rationalize this with improving efficiency but never look at the metrics. Corporate IT is trying to get it's act together, but it's f'ing hopeless. I asked for a simple Windows Server VM. Request went no where. Inquiring into my request, a WEEK'S worth of research was done, and my request was closed. Apparently, cloning a virtual machine (which is ctlC/V operation) is a project not a request.
So, I created a project. A week passes... nothing. I inquire. Oh, we need to have a meeting. "Really, why?" "We need to discuss your requirements." "It's in the project. Clone the existing VM and move it into the new environment." "Why do you want to do that?" "You really would not understand..." At this point, I bailed out of the conversation. 3 meetings and 6 months later I have a virtual machine.
So, part of my exit strategy is pulling my development stuff into virtual machines. It's a bit of work, I think I'm there, but the VMs represent about .5TB of files. No way I can move that over VPN, so I go into the office... And the file server is full. Got to love corporate IT and their lack of monitoring. So, I open a support ticket. "Please increase the size of the VIRTUAL SoftwareDevelopment folder by 2TB." Crickets. Then the ticket was assigned.. then it was escalated. I'm sure IT will want to have a meeting, but my credentials expired at 11:59pm yesterday, so I no longer have access.
happy days
Corporate IT spent 10s of millions of dollars on a new more flexible approach such that they never get anything done.

I feel your pain. Our IT department is forced to behave the same way due to understaffing.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

reminds me a joke. big ship with 1 leader and 16 people rowing. Thought they would get better productivity out of the rowers by having another manger. So they replace 2 people with 1 manager. Wow they thought. The ship is lighter and we are going faster. and we have to have less food.
more is better right? so they do it again and repeat until they have 8 managers and 2 rowers and don't understand why they are going backwards. So they shoot the people rowing and blame them.

I could deal with understaffing - I get that. But a few years ago, the company ramped up on UI "designers" that maximized artwork and have not hired a s/w person to do any implementation what so ever.
It's not that they cannot do it - they won't. Since I no longer have credentials, f*** it.
