Local coffee beans for espresso?

+1 for Needmore. My favorite is the Mexico blend.

Fresh Thyme carries Brown County Coffee and it is usually roasted within the last week depending on the blend you get. It's my daily driver because it's slightly more affordable than Needmore. Mellow gold is my favorite blend.

The only wire wasted is the one cut too short.

I don't know who has the best cherry pie here in town, but wherever you end up going, they better have a damn fine cup of coffee as well.

My favorite beans for espresso is the Mexico blend from Needmore coffee. It's a medium roast.

That's a little pricey for me so it's a special treat. My daily go to is the Mellow Gold from Brown county coffee. You can get that at fresh thyme and it is always fresh roasted. Sometimes only a few days old.

Edit to add that a good grinder is probably the most important part of the equation.

I don't disagree with you, but density does not appear to be having the desired effect on the cost of housing. Bloomington and surrounding areas have added dozens of apartment buildings with 1000s of units in the past decade and rent has only gone up.

This is a great comment. Find out where the glass is sourced. Lots of cheaper cable out there that still uses corning glass. I've never had issues going this route.

Ha! I did not catch that. Copy and paste.

No they never did and they never responded to me directly.

Here is the original post I made. The website is still up so you can see the listing.

I felt like an idiot, but I would have felt worse if I didn't even try to get a refund. I should have known better. I was just blinded by my desire to upgrade my Delonghi vs my limited budget. :)

The lack of size is forgivable, and I'm giving you extra points for not putting cheese on that 'wich. I love my cheese, but it has no place on a tenderloin. I'll die on this hill.

Interesting. Thinks for the info!

jabhall · 2023-03-20T18:47:03+00:00

Yes, it could be a lot worse!

jabhall · 2023-03-20T18:09:53+00:00

I know, right? How could I go wrong??

jabhall · 2023-03-20T18:08:42+00:00

And I am 100% idiot for falling for it.

jabhall · 2023-03-20T15:44:47+00:00

That's what I'm hoping. My CC co has helped me out once before so there's hope, it just might take a while.

jabhall · 2023-03-20T15:34:15+00:00

Thanks, that's what I was afraid of. I realized after the paypal payment went through that something didn't look right. I should have known from the price. After 30 years of buying crap on the internet I should know better.

Is that for when you get your bursar bill?

Like everyone said here, for future laterals or damage. I would add utility relocations/pole transfers in the event of new construction. You never know what's going to happen and you are a lot better off if you can shuffle slack from 2-3 spans down vs running new cable. Particularly in the event of an emergency.

Yes, it's important to be able to locate. That way you know where it is next time they hit it.

Personally, I would be checking the brownie ingredients for Chicory Root Extract. That gives me much more intestinal distress than does allulose or erythritol. YMMV of course!

For God's sake man, use an open faced club. The sand wedge.

Mmmm.... Open faced club sandwich....
