My in-laws still use a stove top percolator to make their coffee and it stays on the stove on simmer till it's all drank in the afternoon from that morning and the last cup is expresso at its finest LOL .My father in law passed this past April at 96 and my father passed in February he was 91 they both loved their coffee hot,strong, and black and I'm the same, we all drink Folgers ColombianYes, I have, but my espresso machine died on me last year.
Coffee, coffee, coffee...

OMG, yes, I'm still a huge Cowboys fan. Not so much a Jerry fan though. Very frustrating the last 30 years. Thats me in the white shortsSo does that mean you're forced to read about the Cowboys?

On coffeeā¦..
Long ago, as a young infantry LT, ( kind of a there I was beginning) I was deployed to the middle east. We would rotate out to outposts for about 25 days then back to our main camp for the same. The main cap mess hall was run by a civilian company who hired a retired navy chef / cook who had spent his career on a carrier. He had three silver bullets of coffee arranged in the back of the mess hall. They each had tags describing the content. First was labeled "Army", second was"Navy" third "Navy Dark". I tried the Navy dark one morning and it about killed me. I don't know what kind of coffee concoction he had in that container but I never tried it again. You could almost stand a spoon up in it!

That would almost qualify as Zero Dark Thirty.
I appreciate your concern, but I am fine with what I have. I still have a stove-top percolator and espresso maker, but they are not induction stove-friendly. I can fire them up on my outside grilling, if need be. Frankly, I grew tired of my espresso maker.
Yes, it's my normal wake-up time (Circadian rhythm) all my life.
Them cicadas never wake me up.

Sitting on a cold toilet seat will make anyone feel young again, but who likes doing that?

Been a customer of Blackout Coffee Company (https://blackoutcoffee.com) for about 3 years now. 5 pound bag every 8 weeks.
Trying out a new-to-me coffee.
The first cup went well. It's pretty good, and the taste description is accurate, except for the skull-crushing. I'd buy it again.

I just tried some of that last month. Not too bad.
