_______________________________

Sili-Dripper Silicone Collapsible Cone Coffee Filter Holder & Drip Brewer below is no longer available. But a comparible one currently available is the Ozark Trail model.

Collapsible cone saves space for drawer or backpack storage makes it easy to bring camping, or store at the office.
One simple, durable part is easily cleaned in the sink and is dishwasher safe.
Brew delicious, home-made, drip brew coffee without expensive equipment.
Easily use this single cup coffee maker while sitting beside the campfire.
Carabiner included to make it easy to attach to your backpack or belt loop.

One of the FYI details I found while researching is that with very hot coffee and a level surface to the mug below, it can produce a tight seal, which slows down the dripping. Some people cut a tiny hole in the base so an air pocket cannot form between the mug and silicone brewer. Another person mentioned they put a straw through one of the drip holes to allow air to flow and therefore the coffee to drip through. Pour about 1/3 of your water, wait for the bloom, then slowly pour the rest through for a drip style brewed fresh cup of coffee. The amount of cups you make is based on how much coffee grounds you put in your brew filter. Works best with a #2 filter like these from Melitta.-

It's Just the Coffee Talking

Chatting over morning coffee around the kitchen table since 2004.

Previously full of stories of Mommyhood and Mayhem of humorous family life - the kids are older and life isn't at the same crazy yet hilarious pace it was then. As my kids get older and start to leave the nest, life is quieter and I have more time to enjoy the coffee.

Currently blogging more about the news, dogs, coffee and coffee reviews as well as a little bit of rambling about emergency preparedness, food storage and other gear. I post what I feel like posting... if I tend to go on a little bit, don't mind me, it's just the coffee talking.

What Americans Must Know About Socialism

A 2016 Harvard poll determined that 33 percent of Americans under 30 wanted socialism. In January 2016, YouGov asked millennials whether they had a favorable or unfavorable opinion of socialism. Eight percent replied “very favorable,” 35 percent “somewhat favorable,” for a total of 43 percent, almost the same percentage as in their 2017 survey.

But would these same millennials choose socialism, if in exchange for “free” education and “free” health care, they would have to give up their personal property, such as their iPhone? Would seven percent of millennials declare their willingness to live under communism if they knew the real costs of communism as practiced in some 40 nations over the past century — the denial of free speech, a free press, and free assembly, the imprisonment and execution of dissidents, no free and open elections, no independent judiciary or rule of law, the dictatorship of the Communist Party in all matters and on all occasions?
