Jon! Thank you! You've just become a hero to me! Access through notepad
is fine. ** does little coffee dance **

Don't worry too much about being a coffee-slob. I carry coffee beans in my
pocket to snap on. What does that make me? :) and I also like trying all
the different methods. Unlike you I generally avoid sugar (except in
Mediterranean where it's de rigueur) and I loathe "cow-juice" in coffee as a
rule.

I also have an old plastic Dunkin' Donuts coffee mug, but it's a bland beige
colour, not gold. It's a car mug. The flavour of coffee isn't bad from it.
I just recently replaced it after years and years with a Brugo thermal mug.
As long as it isn't paper or styrofoam, I don't mind.

This sounds interesting. Out of curiosity, about how long does it take for
the grounds to sink? And is that coffee ground finely, as for espresso, or
coarser for a percolator or a drip? I'm guessing it went badly in the USA
because of the differences in the kind of bean and/or the fineness or
coarseness of the grind.

Sounds as though a few of us could have a good time comparing notes and
trying different coffees. A dream is hatching for a Newt-and-coffee
meeting. Complete with a discussion of different ways to use our Newts in
the process of making coffee of course.

Shalom.
