Bro, I cant afford the kind of tips your used to getting. $60 bucks is a sweet tip, I have to call the repair man tomorrow and explain to him my wife over paid him by $40 Friday when he repaired the dishwasher. Bill was $115, and she wrote him a check for $155. Thats a dam pack of seeds.

I would just tell him that you already cancel the check and hand him a new one for the correct amount.

@Bruce Campbell when we were in Roatan diving the resorts espresso machine was not working (it probably hadn't for years) but they had a commercial grinder that was perfect. They were not using it even though they had access to locally roasted beans practically across the street. Their coffee was not bad it just was not to my standards.

Spoiler: The long story:

They allowed me to grind my own beans, I got down the street. I used a Phin Filter I also bought there. It made my vacation just that much better. I taught a couple of the staff members how to use the grinder, Phin Filter and about coffee from down the street. Shit they live where it grows. I donated the Phin when I left.

Bruce, first off understand that I am a coffee snob, You should buy a Good coffee Grinder, then buy the freshest roasted beans you can acquire. It will make what you already do just that much better. Once you have a grinder (be sure to get one capable of French Press as well as Espresso) Start with a fine grind that will barley run out of the Phin. Increase the coarseness gradually until you hit that perfect cup of Vietnamese Espresso. French Press can make a very exciting cup of Joe. You could even fool around with Turkish or Cowboy coffees. The equipment to brew these is not expensive a good grinder is $$$$$ Why a good grinder, because in order to extract the many chemical components out of the ground coffee in a balanced way the granules of coffee must be the same size and shape. The surface area exposed to the hot water is much greater the smaller the grind. This is part of the reason espresso tastes bolder than coffee poured over a larger grind.

Of all the coffee equipment I have, the grinder is the most important.

I wished I had bought the one with the built in scale but the budget was tight.

Oh, man. I'd love that. Do you just do straight espresso? My ex introduced me to the Phin - she'd always make me vietnamese iced coffee - but I mainly just do lattes now.

Yeah, I am a coffee junkie and I only get one fix a day I drink a Long Black, 2oz hot water in the cup then 2oz espresso pulled over the top. The flavor remans the same as espresso as opposed to an Americano that is 2oz. of hot water poured over a 2oz espresso, that just tastes like a cup of coffee. Try them side by side for an enlightening experience. Anyhow when I was a young and aggressive salesman I drank two pots of coffee a day. I became sensitive to the caffeine and it does not take much to give me the jitters now. The single long black leaves me yearning for more but I don't give in.
