Kicking Horse 454. Canadian. I prefer 427’s. But that’s ok. Still good.

Last time I looked BRCC was backordered AF. I have a little DeLonghi espresso machine, $99, I use Miscela d’Oro Natura Organic Espresso Pods, organic and fair trade ESE pods. It’s real espresso, premeasured and pretamped in an envelope of filter paper so there’s no cleanup. I order a case at a time. I got my Mom a Bialetti and send her decaf espresso beans that she grinds herself, she loves it. http://www.espressozone.com/bialetti-moka-express-stovetop-espresso-maker
Espresso refers to the means of preparation of the coffee. It is pressure brewing of very finely ground coffee (a bit over a tablespoon) to produce a 1.5 – 2.0 oz “shot” of coffee.
The coffee beans are (usually) a mix of 5 parts decent “arabica” beans with 1 part “robusta”. The latter is responsible for the “crema” or froth you get on top of the “shot”.
The roast level of the beans can be almost anything from medium to dark (“French Roast”) to dang near burnt (“Italian Roast”) and is a preference typically determined by regional tastes.

That is the most Glock 18’s I’ve ever seen in one place.
LOVE that pistol.
Ya same here. Personally, I wouldn’t lay a bunch of them on their side like that with the slide locked to the rear and loaded mags seated where people all go pick them up at the same time pointing them in each others directions. I don’t trust anyone enough to have them picking up those things in that condition while Im standing in front of them.
I bought a bag of their AK47 a while back. I did it after hearing about them following starbucks ‘hire 10k african squatters’ pledge. It was very good coffee, but it was really expensive and it took 2 weeks to get. I like the idea, and would much rather give them my money than starbucks, but there are other people out there that aren’t starbucks and make good coffee for less money that I don’t have to wait for. If it comes down in price a little, I will buy more, but its not worth 13$ plus shipping for a 12 oz bag.
Depends on how much coffee it sells :: “will trade ammo for coffee customers”….I’d prefer purty women blasting away visuals, rather than SOF types.
Ultimately, resales depend only on the coffee itself. Tried “Deathwish” coffee – but only once. Then back to the 454. Charlie Bronson was a pretty good tough, but there’s no, or few, substitute\s for cubic inches.

I’ve never been a coffee drinker myself……….too high on life I guess but I wondering if anyone here ever drank that cat shit coffee made from beans that were eaten, then shit out by some kind of wild cat? I would expect that most TPB’ers are too civilized to try it bu you never know.
Yep, I had it at a coffee tasting years ago at one of tonier retail places in (then) civilized London. (Marks & Spencer, maybe) My palate is pretty good (IMHO) and I did not think it all that special.
I do not know how one would be able to actually establish that the coffee tasted really is ‘kopi luwak’ though. And, at north of $350/lb for roasted, there is plenty of motive for fraud.
I really think you would need to buy it in the green bean (and poop coated) and roast it yourself to be sure of what you’re getting.
I always figured that stuff must retain some essence of feces but perhaps the roasting process eliminates that. I always wonder who decides to try crap (literally in this case) like that? How many people had to die eating Fugu Fish before some demented chef figured it out?

Saw this one yesterday and I couldn’t stop watching it:
If only there was a certain somebody stuffed in that barrel. When are these guys gonna stop wasting ammo. That much ammo could cleanse a decent size town.

espresso beans? – never heard of them; different than regular bean coffee?

Big waste of ammo, but it looks like fun.
