I thought the new swaggat was Aroma on Lee.

I heard that on here I think and I asked the guy who sat us. He confirmed it and he said they did a tweaking of all the recipes.

It’s fantastic. The lady loves it.

Oh yeh…. Get the lube ready. It’s kind of a double edged sword…. You want the wind to blow to keep the gnats off of you…. But you don’t want it to blow because it can eat your lunch out there.
:lol:

If it’s blowing 15-20 coming off the water it can get a tad rough. It’s basically blowing across you on every hole. It’s almost always in great shape though.

Yeh…. It’s been all over the place. That’s why I was asking.

Put in for a game and were told they were sent out…. Then find out they didn’t.

Generally get what we want, so we were like wtf is going on. :lol:

If you’re looking for comfort for your boys then get on a Freeman.

Although, that means it’ll probably be one of the higher cost options.

They’re fast and comfortable to ride in.

If you’re in BR, CafeCiteaux is very good. French Truck is as well. If you’re on the south side of town, hit up Next Chapter for her roast on Saturdays.

There is also Reve in town now too.

Cheaper option is the Kirkland Ethiopian beans.

I tend to float b/w the country origins within the brands to keep it “fresh” so to speak.

Part of beauty…. No timers or other shite to break.

Follow the instructions on your weight of coffee to water ratio and you’re good to go.

I measure my beans, throw them in the grinder and fill the water to where I need to. For myself, 41g of beans and the 6 cup line.

Oh and I gave the Kirkland Ethiopian beans a shot because I knew I needed coffee and I was already at Costco. $18 for 2lbs. Vacuum sealed 1lb and froze it. I’m on the frozen bag right now and they taste the same. Not too shabby.

I’ve been getting beans from the Next Chapter lady on Saturdays who is with Blue Rabbit Bake House. She has some damn good shite. However, it’s $18 for 12oz. So, on par with the other local roasters.

Moccamaster is about $360.

Bonavita can be had for around $150-$250. I had a Bonavita…. Lost it in the divorce. :lol:

Then I got the Moccamaster. Both make great cups and both are certified by the Specialty Coffee Association.

If you get the Bonavita, you can get the Baratza Encore grinder for about the price of the Moccamaster.

Get you some coffee before you leave.

I think Ive tried 4 different beans so far, she’s a great roaster.

Had the lemoncello/white chocolate and the pistachio/gorgonzola the other day at a grad party and it got demolished. I have the sandwich loaf and blueberry English muffins in the freezer right now.

The lemon rosemary is on point too.

Man…. Use some cut up pork butt or temple meat, good sausage and if you want through in some boneless thighs.

If you want chicken rice, then follow the recipe for chicken and sausage.

Jasmine rice is a little more forgiving than regular long or medium grain. If you use jasmine, make sure you get Country Boy as it’s 2-1. Supreme Jasmine is 1.5-1, math is easier with Country Boy.

7 lbs of pork, 3-4 lbs of sausage/andouille and about 2-3 lbs of chicken thighs w/ 5lbs of rice. I made one this weekend in my 5 gal pot. It’ll be about an inch or 2 from the top and feed about 30-40 people as the dish with no sides.

Veges: 4-5lbs of onions, a few bell peppers and about a 1/2-1 stalk of celery. AP bros don’t like green shite in their jams…. I just like mine to not taste like rice cooked in chicken broth.

Yup…. Best Stop is a good one.

I also find that Blanchards has less.
