Comment on How to Make Bay Rum Aftershave by sam

Don’t use bay leaves found at the grocery store. Use Bay Rum tree leaves (Pimenta racemosa) found at health food stores. Dark rum as suggested works well. Witch hazel can replace the vodka. There is a bay rum concentrate of leaves and rum on eBay: http://stores.ebay.com/bluewaterproductions

Comment on Why Starbucks Coffee Tastes Bitter and Burnt by Suresh

your post about roasting at high temperartures make sense. When you roast vegetables at a high temperature they brown more quickly. So I’m assuming the same can be said of coffee beans.

I think there is another reason STarbucks roasts the coffee the way they do. beans have a great variety in flavor, which is exactly what you do not want in a chain. AT a chain people expect the exact same thing regardless of which store they go in. I think by overroasting the beans Stabucks is able to get a consistent flavor profile across all the stores.

Hi, Rod. I’m glad you’re going to try the recipe. Actually, I use either light or dark rum. I think the dark rum gives the after shave more body, though.

Please let me know what you think about the recipe after you try it.

Hi Dan,
Thanks for the recipe, I am going to try it straight away. One question, excuse the ignorance, but, is it white or dark rum you use.

Cheers

Starbuck’s is not so much about the coffee as the swanky atmosphere and the social stigma associated with having a “Starbucks Coffee” paper cup with sleeve in your hand. Everyone I know who frequents a Starbucks, literally everyone, purchases a flavored drink that is so full of sugar and milk they can barely even taste the coffee.

It’s just cool to say “Yeah, I’m working on my laptop from Starbucks today”. I’ve never met anyone who would like to boast about the fact that they are online from Panera Bread, Dunkin Donuts, or the like…even though the coffee at both places is much, much better than Starbucks.
