With all the talk of coffee systems , the heart of the matter shouldn't be the brew method but the brand or variety of bean used to start the day.
    My wife and I are both coffee lovers but differ in our favorites.  I prefer Trader Joe's Finca Leone estate coffee brewed strong ( 5 scoops for 6 cups ).
She goes for 8 o'clock Bocar blend brewed weak ( 3 scoops for 6 cups ).
    I know this is not pertinent vanagon content but when your sitting in the westy, sipping the first drips while enjoying the view wherever you are.  That's what seperates this group from the pile.  Drink Up .

P.S.   We can't make it this year but will be close by so any listees going to Kampers near Knoebels, give me a shout and stop by.
