but olives are awesome :)

I swear by this Bodum combination mug & French press.   Perfect for making a brew to bring along in the car, or for sitting at the desk and keeping it warm for an extended sipping session.

I use South American coffee varieties in it.

People in South India drink a localised version of "Cafe Latte" prepared using dark roast coffee beans blended with root of Chicory plant. Chicory imparts nutty and woody taste to coffee. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicory

Usually one can find this on menu of restaurants in India as "Filter Coffee".

A friend of mine suffers from migraines, and interestingly enough he's noticed that coffee makes them less worse, or eliminates them altogether. He gets good sleep and is otherwise healthy.  He took a month off drinking coffee, believing the migraines to cause it, but they just got more frequent and intense.  Two cups a day, keeps the migraine away :)

I had like 1/4 cup a couple months ago after abstaining for at least 6 months and like clockwork, had a migraine and scintillating scotoma about 36 hours later.

Nick Welker over at Welker Farms, which has a YouTube channel, apparently grew to have the same problem with coffee causing migraines and had to give it up.

I've heard this is because migraines happen when blood vessels are enlarged and caffeine constricts blood vessels.  That constriction helps stop headaches for some people but for others the overshoot when the caffeine wears off causes enlarged blood vessels and headaches.

Do you take the plunger out before sampling? If so, where do you put it?
