I’d heard a little about this new style coffee maker before, but looked into it more thoroughly, and decided to try it. I had some birthday money from my in-laws on hand (see Anticipation) and, considering how fond my father-in-law is of coffee, I decided it would be an appropriate gift from them.

The content you’re looking for is no longer here. We’re finally beginning to shut this blog down, to remove old content.

We’ve chosen to start with essays that are available elsewhere. Specifically, this article has been edited into our book, Sacred Coffee: A “Homesteader’s” Paradigm. The book is available in print, as an audiobook, and in several eBook formats. It contains edited, improved, and expanded versions of essays that used to be available for free on this blog, and new material as well. You can learn more about it, and order it here in your preferred format.
