Posted Tue Jul 1, 2008, 6:05am Subject: Whats in your coffee today?
After rolling out of bed this morning, I stumbled to the kitchen with bleary eyes and a foggy head.
After reassembling my Capresso Infinity, I start to load the hopper with my one of my favorite coffees ("Clydes Blend" from Quartermaine Roasters). As I'm scooping beans into the grinder, I begin to perk up in anticipation of the delicious brew my Newco is about to bestow upon me in 6 minutes or so.
After loading the hopper, I turn the grinder on and go about making my lunch for the day. I turn back to look in the hopper and I see something moving. Something that isn't coffee ground at the coarsest Fine level. Its a big, farking CENTIPEDE. In my grinder!
What a buzzkill. I hate those damn things with every ounce of my being and to have one in my coffee was almost too much. Almost.
I dumped the coffee, made a new batch and am now enjoying it as I write this post.

That's not pretty.
Over the last couple years I have had a small rock once, and some wood debris once. I'll take that over a centipede. Just wonder where the centipede came from? You hear once in a while where a tropical insect rides along with the produce and ends up in a grocery store in Alaska!
