Haven't used that in years...I grind mine fresh nowadays!

Well at least ours is rated top notch by the In-laws! It is ok for you to poopoo on my recomendation. Still before anyone adds McOrmick wood pulp to their recipee.....

I too am interested in hearing where @007Sean gets better peppercorns...

I have some but I prefer the Fiesta Brand coarse pepper which I just ran out of yesterday.View attachment 1947719

I am intrigued we use Fiesta for so many other spices or blends of them. Their Cumino or cumin is great. I think my next HEB trip I'll have to try their pepper, how is it labeled? Peppercini or some other nonsence? Honestly they could do with better english marketing folks.

I do not need or want to hire a guy to go shopping.

If we are doing grocery recomendations/ reviews, I'm recommending Kicking Horse kick Ass coffee. I love the dark roast. 5 star.

I just love cheap https://www.heb.com/product-detail/cafe-caribe-dark-roast-espresso-coffee/1293979 we put this in the italian espresso cooker. The cooker makes the product. It is totally worth buying a cooker from WMF or other sources. We recommend the WMF versions they haven't failed yet sure they cost an a$$load, but are quality and still going strong after 15 years of daily use. My wife makes 4-5 coffe's/day from her old bought in 2005 model even to this day. She also has a 4 person WMF backup maker should her primary one fail. I am a rare coffee drinker so not qualified to assess quality.

Ok I did an internet search and need to upload photos, I am not talking about their professional product lines.



All of our itallian ones have lost the rubberized gaskets.

I've had to cut my caffeine consumption by 75%. I had caffeine lumps. ( I didn't even know that was a thing.)
Now I'm down to only one cup of espresso a day.

Regardless, this is in the realm of emergency survival gear. I am not going to face a real emergency with an uncaffienated spouse. We can make coffee with any heat source.

I am no longer allowed to drink Monster Energy drinks if that helps. Those things make me crazier than I already am.

Good point! I better get a camp pot. I need a little caffeine & I certainly don't want my spouse to suffer.

Shoot I meant to picked some up today so I could take a pic.
I'll get one tomorrow morning.

Shoot I woke up early this morning. I finally feel strong enough again to eat breakfast tacos. Expect me to be incapacitated within 2 hours time from the pain as I can't pass on Salsa Verde.
Oh well I am watching the clock as my tacoria opens at 6AM. There is plenty of "Mexicoke" in the fridge at least of Coca a la mehicano down here they sell it in the 2.5liter bottles.
