Guest Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 Prices for coffee to put into that drip maker are expensive, too, but you won't save much money, if any, buying cups of real coffee even from the local chains. Whoever asked about Black Canyon: I believe it is owned by Denny's in the U.S. at least, there seems to be some connection to it. I don't go to Black Canyon often, but used to you could find a Denny's logo or 2 in the shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[sNIP] Yeah. After a bit of thought, I decided that this is getting a bit impractical. Instead I got some decent instant coffee to cart over (Taster's Choice) instead of drinking that red container Nescafe stuff. (...and yes, I realize that both are made by Nescafe, but that red container stuff in Thailand tastes like ass.) I like to have a cup of coffee to start the day, and having to get dressed and leave the hotel to get this cup of coffee seems wrong to me. Anyhow, thanks for all the info everyone! -=/NN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lusty Posted June 17, 2004 Report Share Posted June 17, 2004 I bought the Village Idiots coffee maker of him just before he buggered off to Los for good.I bet he wished he'd taken it with him now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamock Chokaprret Posted June 17, 2004 Report Share Posted June 17, 2004 Used to drink the Folger's instant but very pricey. One time tried a brand found at Villa Market called either Mocona or Nocona. Indonesian blend I think. Tastes not half bad. Been drinking it ever since because it is better price wise than Folger's. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 17, 2004 Report Share Posted June 17, 2004 >>>Geesh, does that thing have it's own dedicated suitcase?<<< Is a "La Pavoni". Heavy, but not big, and handles screw off to make even smaller. I did want to add something else. With this type of machine, you use far, far less coffee than in a drip machine. If you drink expensive coffee, this machine can pay for itself easily. The steam under great pressure, exstracts every last bit of flavor out of the grind. And because expresso grind is very fine, is exposes more surface area to the powder. I like my coffee strong, and a 2 pound bag will last at least 2-3 times as long, than if used in a conventional machine. my machine HT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 Last sept I noticed a "promotion" at tops had a girl at the end of one of the isles with a set up I think it was under 1200 bht for drip coffee maker and 2 bags of fresh coffee. but if you dont mind a bit of a wait, get a caffe suda ( viet coffee ) maker just put a little fresh coffee in the holder and pour in boiling water and watch it drip for a while. really does a good job. I bought mine ( caffee suda unit) for about 40 bht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
