Still like the "Eight O'Clock" by the way, and the last time we had folks over, we served it, and they all exclaimed how good it was. Of course I didn't make it as strong as I usually drink it- I use a heaping tablespoon of finely ground coffee per 5 oz cup, and an extra one 'for the pot'- except when I have a migraine, then I add a little more (strictly for medicinal purposes, you understand). It'll put hair on your chest, and lead in your pencil! Sometime we need to get together over a cup, and twitch at each other!!! :o/ Dan - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark Rabiner" <mark@markrabiner.com> To: <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> Sent: Tuesday, January 29, 2002 1:22 PM Subject: Re: [Leica] starbucks situation > Dan Post wrote: > > > > Mark- > > Rosebud and I always stay at Hampton Inns or Holiday Inn Express because > > they all seem to have a coffe makers in the room!!!
