the globe looks great.  but pricey.

where is it made?

The one we have was made in Mexico.
thats a little better.

imo, practically nothing made in china should cost so much.  slave labor and all.
mexico isn't really much better.

damn.  i was thinking that it would make a neat x-mas present.  that an some paper and a couple of books on oragami.

Yes, it is a little pricey, but I just found it online for $79.99, which is considerably less than I paid for a similar one last year. 

You can even see it demonstrated online.

Coffee is a requirement of a day without bloodshed.  preferably Gevalia dark roast (french roast is just a little too dark).  I started drinking it when I had to get up real early for my paper route as a kid. These days, I start with a pot in the morning that usually lasts me through till the end of lunch.  Yum.

Don't underestimate how seriously American's take coffee.  We drink insane amounts of it and it's almost always fresh brewed.  There's always selections of different roasts and flavors.  If you get into the heavier drinkers, they'll be able to tell you all about different coffees meant specifically for the purpose of adding to other coffees for effect or two combine two different roasts.

To put it lightly, imports are common.

It's one of the best brands in Sweden. I'm even more a coffeeholic, both roasting and grinding my own coffee.  :coffee:

Really?  How do you go about this?  How did you decide on the specifications you wanted in a roast?  What kind of beans do you start with?

Simple. You can buy raw beans in most decent coffee shops here. Raw beans are sorted by origin. Java beans in one bag, Colombia in another etc. Java or Kenya is what I prefer. You take about 200 grams and spread them evenly over a metal plate in an air oven (an "ordinary" kitchen oven) and roast at about 240 C until they begin to "sweat" fat and other liquids. Pull the plate out, pour the beans of and let them cool down. Then grind them in an electric coffee mill. Freshly roasted and ground is the best, but the most important is that the coffee is freshly ground.

My wife is the coffee expert in the family and she found that "8 o"clock coffee beans" fresh ground made the best tasting cup of coffee for her.  Consumer Reports also gave 8 o'clock high marks for taste!
