[ale] totally OT: coffee

[Jim Kinney]

A friend is from Ethiopia. At dinner after a visit back home, he produced a
large bag of green coffee beans, roasted them in a skillet (and set off the
smoke alarm - he now does this part outside), ground the now brown/black
shiny beans, poured boiling water over them and poured through a strainer
into coffee cups after about 5 minutes of swirling to pot.
Best
Coffee
EVER!

I almost cried it was so good. I didn't sleep a wink that night either. It
was pretty much a cup of double strength expresso.
