But yeah, the last picture wins.  

In Arabic we sum it like in (boil the coffee اغلي القهوة), brewing is more related to alcohol.
So ....   And that last picture is how I've been spending so many mornings for the last 3 or 4 years: AF surfing while sipping coffee

Turkish Coffee has this fine thing: after you finish the cup; a little bit of beans remain and they taste really strong. So you kinda sip a little bit of beans too. It's......fine !

Cute?!?!?! I don't want cute. I was going for witty or clever.

You're killing me Smalls, killing me.

Hah! That's what my Maltese dogs look like without a trim. They used to sit in the front window and bark at everybody who went by. They would stand there on the sidewalk 30 feet away and gush about how cute they were.  The drapes now remain closed.

So when are you going to give up your day job and become a full time hatter?

It's something that I'd like to do as my retirement job. It definitely beats working in a warehouse with all the heavy lifting I do. I'm 63 and I "semi retired" last year. I put 42 years into roofing and construction with about a dozen or so years of warehouse work in the mix. I'm still pretty strong physically for my age and in fairly decent shape, but I can feel my body wearing down, though. If I can come to a point where I can afford to buy a few more hat blocks and flanges and various other tools and materials I'd definitely do it.

CIJS - 

You do NOT look 63. I would have pegged you for late 40's early 50's at best. Wow. I'm impressed.

Yeah, there may be something to working until you drop. The minute you stop, you drop.

I've got a year and change on you AT, and you're definitely in better shape than I am. One of the things I'm liking about being retired is really having the time to work out. Of course it is also dead necessary. No worky, no healthy.

What is your favorite type ?

Yup. Definitely their loss. I've had coffee that way many times and it's better than brewing or drip. You get more caffeine and far less acid. In the States we call it either, Cowboy Coffee, or Campfire Coffee. I used to do a lot of camping and that was the way we made our coffee. Also, when we were on the construction site in the winter we made coffee that way as well. It's the best way to make coffee. Anymore for my caffeine high at work I'll eat a spoon full of instant coffee and wash it down with a cup of coffee. I've got a few other people at work hooked on that too. Our production numbers are through the roof.

Cowboy Coffee....

Thank you, Joods! A lot of people tell me that. In Ohio when you turn 60 you get a Golden Buckeye card which gives discounts at participating businesses. I'll get the sideway glances from the cashiers and I'll have to take out my ID to prove my age. Autozone gives a 10% discount to seniors and that comes to quite a savings if you're buying a lot of stuff there.
