Is that in Chicago?
Boston, yo. Site of the Boston Massacre...



hahaha great explanation of the cofff ;) @swagski maybe you can explain the diff?
A Moka pot uses some steam pressure to extract the flavor from the coffee, whereas the South Indian filter coffee pot is more like the Neapolitan flip pot (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neapolitan_flip_coffee_pot): with the hot water in the grounds, basic gravity is what causes it to drip-drip-drip into the resulting pot. Vietnamese coffee is brewed a bit similarly.

But some of the bigger differences are around the coffee itself. South Indian coffee tends to include a cut of some chicory, which is what they're also famous for in New Orleans of all places. And while there's great coffee in India, most people drink the cheaper powdery stuff. And yet when mixed with sweetened hot milk, it produces a great flavor I've been unable to replicate at home. One of the worst cups of coffee I made in my life was with good ingredients and a South Indian filter coffee pot.

Free healthcare that's what's up.
We prefer to keep the illusion that we're saving all sorts of money while having our health insurers pay $40 an aspirin to cover the hospital's costs of the people with no healthcare and finally come in to the emergency room when it's a major crisis instead.

Unable to reproduce it? Really?


Damn. All of a sudden, I'm proud of my coffee. :D

Yes and no. It's like when a good friend of mine tried to reproduce his Sicilian grandmother's tomato sauce. His problem is that he was following her recipe with fresh ingredients when the damn stuff tasted better with canned tomatoes, etc. :p

Nah. It was this story:
http://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/01/us/prosecutor-fatally-shot-in-town-near-dallas.html
I met the guy at my friend's wedding in SF several years ago.

Then last month his county DA (and his wife) were executed and it's front-page national news. Some suspicions about there being a linkage to white supremacist gangs a la 'Merican History X.
