I know I'm preaching to the converted, but, the manufacturer's instructions on my home coffee maker says that coffee left sitting on the hotplate should be consumed within one hour.

Even that is too long in my opinion. Ideally, you pour in the boiling water, let it steep for four minutes, compress and drink. Insulated containers can keep it hot for up to an hour (or more) without any burner. Occasionally, rather than make a fresh brew, I will microwave cooled off coffee. I don't do this often enough to judge it's effect on caffeine or taste. Doesn't seem to burn it though.

Obviously, individual preference is based on what one is used to. I am sure that there are people that will order a steak at Denny's, and enjoy it.

I just threw up in my mouth a little :puke:

You can get a RAM mount with a gimbaled cup holder, and if you want to mount a GPS or cellphone or something else at another time, switch it out, change the top mount. Much less expensive than those $90 chrome things.

Starbucks, McD, 7-11, truck stop, it's all the same to me. At home we have an espresso maker - just a few seconds of hot water pushed through the grains ... nothing compares.

It's like you say - obviously, individual preference is based on what you're used to. I'm quite sure that when you get coffee at Starbucks, you actually enjoy it.

Hey fifth, haven't seen anything from you in a while. Thank you for your support.

You're welcome. Just couldn't resist... :poke2:

I hope your back is OK.

No comment, just FYI. OK to wear your gun into Starbucks.

Well, I see LEO's in all kinds of coffee establishments with pieces strapped to their hips and that's been okay. But...

I'm sure I will get some crap for this, but i have found that gun owners run the gamut from super safety conscious hyper responsible types to complete idiots (See Plaxico.)

As soon as some overcaffeinated cowboy blows away a barista because his foam was too dry the party will be over.

Let's just hope cowboys never want a coffee at Starbucks. As for the debate about open and concealed carry there are many opinions. All I really know is a great defence with a firearm will probably deter a lot of would be offenders. From what I have read in the past few years the crime rate goes down when the prey is armed and won't take it anymore. Criminals will always have guns and not play by the rules.
