Posted by Ray on Sunday, January 18th, 2009

Coffee is only one of my interests – I’m also an avid fly fisherman and fly tyer, and since getting a new Jeep last year, I’m getting hooked on off-roading!  I have a couple web sites dedicated to these interests:  Fly fishing and fly tying at www.broken-fish.net, and www.ality.org for Jeeping things!  Enjoy!

Caffè Artigiano

Posted by Ray on Saturday, December 6th, 2008

Spent the past week in Calgary on a training course – and while I didn’t spend much time outside of the classroom or my hotel suite, I did find the Caffè Artigiano.  A forum member suggested this cafe as it was close by the hotel I was staying at, and I was further motivated as [...]

Planetary Design

Posted by Ray on Friday, January 4th, 2008

I’ve had a Big Sky Bistro coffee mug for years – use it for camping. Last year I got a new mug from MEC, a 20oz. thermal stainless steel desk press mug, and I use it daily. Both mugs are from Planetary Design. I didn’t buy them because of that – but after this experience, [...]

I’m more interested in the coffee gear personally – well, the Technivorm coffee maker and the coffee subscription to be exact ;^) The Coffee Connoisseurs Dream Package was put together by Poul over at Transcend – and is an early bird draw for this fund-raising raffle by CKUA

A little maintenance

Friday, September 4th, 2009 - coffee machines, general

My Andreja Premium has been leaking lately around the portafilter.  Figure that the likely culprit is the grouphead gasket – almost 2 years of baking in the E61 head, and it has been pretty much carbonized.  Removing the gasket was pretty tricky, well, at least until I decided to use Google to find a how-to [...]

I’m letting this domain name go (coffee-vibe.com) – lack of time and inspiration to keep it running are my primary motivations. I’ve moved the content over to another domain that I have – coffeevibe.com, which I’ll likely let go too.  Eventually I think that I’ll have the content on a sub-domain – coffee.ality.org

waffle maker d.o.a. :(

Sunday, April 26th, 2009 - accessories

Well, not too impressed with that Waring WMK300 waffle maker that I bought.  3-4 months past its 1 year warranty, it died. Opening it up, I discovered melted wire insulation, and scorch marks on the bottom stainless steel cover.  Although this waffle maker made great waffles, it was a potential fire hazard that put my [...]
