JBHoren, I apologize if this has been covered before - but how do you get such a perfect "head" on your cups? I have just recently got into coffee, and when I use my french press I see the head, or bloom in the press but it never translates directly into my cup. I would love to be able to recreate your picture perfect cups, any advice would be great!
I use filtered tap water, a blade grinder (chopper), french press, and coffee that has been roasted in the last week or two.

Half 'n Half
Ahhh! Well it seems I've been chasing a dream. I'm going to have to try that one of these days to see if it tastes as good as those pictures look!
Any idea why an espresso can retain its frothy topping but a cup of coffee can not?
I went to my local tea house last Friday, I came back with:
Nilgiri Coonoor - black - India
Sencha Ashikubo - green - Japan (what I'm drinking right now)
Darjeeling Avongrove Cs-15 bio - white - India (that one is so good)
Best part is that a friend of mine was working, and I got everything at his price (half).

Ethiopia Idido Misty Valley, roasted to FC on Sunday, brewed in the TVorm. I just can't seem to like this bean. Had it last year a couple times, and now again. There's just something about it that doesn't sit right with me. The very strong citrus notes, notably lemon, which I love, have a harsh finish that is quite pungent. Almost like chewing on a lemon rind. I have 4 pounds left that I may end up trading.
Half 'n Half
All these pictures of coffee makes me wants to try some coffee. I never had a good cup of coffee yet to this day.
So half'n'half means you put milk after you french press the coffee?
Your coffees look just incredibly inviting! Thanks for all the pictures.
Send it here, my friend.
I'm partial to a green, leafy substance. Bloody tasty.

The art is terrible today. I miss my bar-barista days. They shall come again, God willing.
Market District Colombian that I got from Giant Eagle, run through the Aeropress. perhaps considered pedestrian, but this one surprised me with the oily shine to the beans and a chocolate taste to it. A very good value, (especially since it was on sale) better tasting than the well rated Eight O'Clock Colombian with it's dry beans and no chocolate taste at all.
I knew you'd pipe up.
Had more today and the extra day of rest helped. Still, not something I'm going to buy again.
French Pressed Starbucks Sumatran - trying to finish off the supply.
Combination of bigelow's spiced chai and stash orange spice black tea brewed in my for life whole leaf tea pot. mixed with milk and brown sugar in my mug.

Nice one. I give you the 3 weeks in attempt... Pale crema I know but it tasted good.
