    Boosting Starbucks coffee

    Put the grounds in the microwave before brewing. I do 33 seconds for four coffee scoops, but you'll have to experiment with the time. Be careful with cheap coffee filters, I've heard they can catch fire, from the bits of metal in them.

    This post got me thinking....
    The BEST Starbucks coffee that I have ever had was in Anaheim CA.
    Was there for a controls school and they had a Starbucks coffee vending machine in the break room. You put a cup in the holder and pushed the button for Caff or DeCaff.
    The machine grinded the beans (put in fresh), then brewed ONE cup. EXCELENT!
    I had the shakes by midday....

    The best coffee on this planet is made by La Columbe

    Starbucks pales by comparison.

    What does boosting do, exactly? Does it make the taste stronger?

    When I first say the term here I thought it meant stealing the coffee. <g>

    An attractive slender woman neighbor of mine in Florida said: "boost coffee" a lot of times to me before I asked what that was. With here it's adding something called Bustella. I was digging around in her kitchen not too long ago and discovered that it's espresso. She throws some in with the regular coffee - she has one of those counter machines: like a Mister Coffee type unit?

    I always make coffee a single cup at a time with a Melitta cup-top drip widget. I don't drink coffee so I don't make it all that often. Plus; that one-cupper unit does make a vey nice cup of coffee. <g>

    It makes sense now.

    I once did some work at the Muslim market, mini mall, eatery. This is a training center in the basement. COOL No Pipes and it's built up so they
    will hit there head to force them to sit. OH, by the way that's not dirt !!! and they still stand on the edges at many public restrooms.
    That's right, the seat is only for better footing.

    No code enforcement?

    Or is that in a no go zone?

    And people on this site knock California. In California, that place would be shut down and declared a superfund toxic waste clean up site.

    None, I found this looking for water to wash a pluged condenser. I ended up hooked to the water heater drain. Minnesota is a Sanctuary state and they are not to be messed with.

    I worked with a guy who used to be a plumber. He told me a story once about how he carried a new toilet up some stairs and left it in the hallway. When he returned with his tools, there was a crap in the toilet. LOL.
