QUOTE (fkalich @ Aug 12 2010, 10:57 PM)  Not to digress, but speaking of China..... I learned to make great coffee from a Chinese member of a programming team, whose family were "restaurant people". I make it with boiling water, hand pouring it though a funnel. Using rapidly boiling water is key, which does not happen with your typical drip machine. You don't have to use expensive coffee, a lot of restaurants with great coffee just use cheap coffee. However they have fancy expensive drip machines which cost a bundle. I just hand pour it the boiling water, and store it in a good thermos (that keeps things hot all day). I rarely get coffee that I feel tastes as good as mine, made in this inexpensive way. I may have said this earlier on the thread, not sure, but no matter, this was great advice, and I am sharing it. You can get a nice glass coffee pot and funnel set for up to 10 cups, for about $10. I like the bigger #6 paper funnels. You definitely have a point here, thats the way i made coffee in my youth, when there was no coffee-machines. But now I use one that crushes the beans and kind of putting steam in them before pouring out the coffee. Its the best investment I ever made. (except for some guitars of course) The only device that probably will be better would be a 25-year old brazilian babe crushing the beans with her feet doing a samba dance in front of me, and then pouring boiling water over them. (but I will never been able to afford such luxury) //Staffay --------------------  Guitars: Ibanez AM-200, Ibanez GB-10, Fender Stratocaster Classic Player, Warmouth Custom Built, Suhr Classic Strat, Gibson Les Paul Standard 2003, Ibanez steel-string Amps: Fender Hot Rod Deluxe, Marshall JMP 2103, AER 60 Effects: BOSS DD-20, Danelectro Trans.

In order to practice when everyone has gone asleep, we need some serious stimulation here. Ofc. we can do as Yngwie - use food instead, but then we gonna die from heart diseases before we even learned the lydian scale. Alcohol/Drugs is not good either, since the brain gets messed up. Women gets You tired and those Power-drinks tastes like bull-piss. So what do we got left???
