  1. Here in Baton Rouge we have CC's coffee houses. Community Coffee. I prefer it to Starbucks. Still insane price for coffee. I drink a lot of coffee that the snobs would have a heart attack over.

  2. 75% of my coffee has been made from Maxwell House coffee from a drip machine at work. Good, hot, and free. No coffee snob here, either. :)

    We have a Five Star and a Starbucks near our house. For a buck, I can get my travel mug filled up with really good, fresh Five Star coffee. Starbucks coffee is too strong for me, and I can never remember what size to order. Is the Granddaddy the large one?

  4. Great setup, Rick. I like the layout, with the mug and bottle. That’s a really nice mug.

  5. No coffee snob here either. Just want decent coffee brewed BLACK. At home we brew a local roaster’s beans in a Bunn. Fast and simple.

  7. They just opened up a new Murphy's express gas station down the road. The have a solid dark roast for the dollar refill price. Maxwell House is ok. We have community with bunn coffee makers at work. All connected to water bottles. Only problem is they use the ones that do not have the burner to keep it warm.

    I like my coffee to bark....loud....it can even nip a bit. I drop a Stok black coffee shot in when I buy from that place. Adds a bit to it. As I have mentioned coffee at Casa du Fuzzy is often as not a chichory blend.

    I ordered a tall at the coffee shop. I dunno...did not seem that tall to me.

    Quick gym shave this morning, one pass CCS, and bit much more to say. Good start to my week. I hope everyone has a great day!
  12. Thank you, Fuzzy!
  13. Good morning, Jim. Great set up and start to the day! I hope your Bride had a great birthday yesterday! Buy her an expensive present this week from the 30DC. :happy088:
  14. @Norcalnewb - Yeah, like super expensive. Tell her it’s from us, and we’ll pay you back at the meetup.

    I bet she would like a custom brush with your name engraved on the base. That way she can be reminded of you every time you use it.
  15. Happy birthday to the misses and I fall into the coffee snob category

  16. Went with the classic Italian shave for menthol Monday this morning. Proraso Green soap and AS with the Parker Synthetic. Using the ‘65 Slim with a Shark SS this week as well.

    Slow start for me this morning. I was able to sleep through the night for the first time in over a month and actually managed to oversleep. An automatic near perfect three pass shave to start the work week. A splash of Fine Platinum and I am ready for the day. I hope everyone has a great Monday.
  19. Thank you, Charlie!
    I am sure she would like a nice custom brush. I'll even let her know what two gentlemen came up with this idea. Should I offer to break it in for her, just to make sure she gets total enjoyment out of it?
    Thank you.
  20. Thank you, Clint!
    Beautiful black and white picture!
