how about a Oklahoma,AR,MO,KS,TX,+IA GTG thread?

I kinda agree.
Venison is okay.....if I'm pretty hungry.

I assume it's partly because it doesn't usually get bled out right away like domestic critters do....maybe?...

Plus, eating bucks that are in rut is kinda counter-intuitive, it seems to me.
With hogs, if there is a sow anywhere around it'll make even the cut boars tast like a real boar, so I would assume all the mating hormones during the rut would mess with the flavor of venison.

But, I don't really know nothin....

I concur with your thoughts.

Just wondering, but my wife is going through all sorts of coffee makers looking for the one that suits her taste. Being that you guys really savor your different brews, and that I never got started on the stuff, what do you favor for coffee makers? She had a Bunn for years, then a Cuisinart, a Ninja, and now a Keurig with fresh ground or pods.

Almost like starting an oil war, but what do you prefer?

Whatever I find at Goodwill when mine dies.

My wife had a Kuerig for several years, it had the small basket for fresh ground or you could use the pods. Convenient; yes. Expensive: yes. Flavor was ok.

We have a Bunn non programmable now that works fine. She is babbling about getting another one. Why , I have no idea.

I believe the “perfect “ temp for coffee is 145* or 165*, maximum flavor.

America’s Test Kitchen did a test drip type coffee makers. Temp, time to brew a pot, convenience, etc ..

I don’t recall the winner, I will have to dig around the inter web to find it.

Here you go, ATK yammering about drip coffee makers. Apparently I was pretty far off on my water temps, a mind is a terrible thing to waste…

From my experience, the grinder being able to grind extremely consistency sized product makes a bigger difference in getting the flavor you want.

Myself, I go for trying to get max flavor extraction without any bitterness. Grind size is a very fine grain, with zero powdery residue. There are many grinders that will achieve this, and at many different price points.

You need more coffee.

Here is ATK from 2 years ago, same winner but a bit more detail on how they were tested.

Morning everybody.
I only drink 1 cup of coffee a day. I use a Keurig coffe maker. Mainly because I don’t have the patience for a regular drip type like my wife uses. Mine makes a cup in less than a minute.

 

[JimBear]

You need more coffee.

And more exercise & fewer cheeseburgers …

we had keurig but if you dont clean them out with a vinegar wash every so often it taints the coffee. if you ever cut one apart and see how they are made you would understand. they have a lot of plastic tubing and little heaters and pumps inside and that always holds water so it can grow nasty stuff. we cut one apart that had been cleaned and inside the pump mand heater had slime growing. very nasty. i switched back to and old style bunn. but for best flavor i would use a french press.

Might not be as exciting as seeing the comet, but that moon sure is turning up the lumens in our area.

I think a French press would be a nice Christmas gift for Matt. We all know how fond he is of anything French...

Good morning connoisseur's of good tasting beverages and sometimes COFFEE.

It stayed frost free last night, with 45f showing in the backyard for a low. Right now the guessers are claiming we should be good till at least next Tuesday overnight before the next cooler event.

This is good as it will give the recently planted garlic some time to develop some (hopefully) good roots before the true cold arrives.

Good evening folks. It's been rather breezy at the place with trees. Been under a red flag advisory all day, and it's still howling.






Prepping the deck for a coat of stain, works good with the wind, it really keeps the dust down.

3 AM wake up call. I have heard that sound enough times to know it when it wakes me. Guy said 3 deer ran in front of him and he jerked the wheel. Looks like no one hurt at least.
