A CORDLESS PERCOLATOR? Well, not really when you read the fine print, but the most amusing part to me is where percolator-partisans hold forth on the obvious superiority of percolation over drip. It’s like Mac vs. PC in a different setting.

Yeah, I know: From stew-blogging to coffee-blogging. But it can’t all be about torture and deadly natural disasters, after all.

UPDATE: My secretary-turned-combat-engineer emails from Iraq with combat-coffeeblogging:

It is interesting the things that one is introduced to in a forward deployed environment. European coffee brewing techniques were not in the recruiting literature. I have been using a French press (freedom press?) while here in Iraq. I brew Community Coffee’s (a brand from Baton Rouge) Dark Roast and it takes about fifteen minutes. The “3 cup” capacity fills my 16oz travel mug. Normally, in the field, I use a Coleman backpacking stove but on larger operations we have a member of my platoon who brings along a two burner white gas Coleman stove. (Who knew the many ways Scouting would prepare me for the Marine Corps!)

While waiting for instapundit to load, a dog-handler friend of mine noticed me playing “minesweeper.” He remarked, “Don’t you get enough of that?”

Heh.
