Titolo: Nick's espresso

I use a Bialetti moka pot (macchinetta) that holds 10 fl. oz. (296 mL) of
water.
I buy 100% Pure Kona Coffee beans, farm roasted to just below second crack
(whatever that means) from 
http://www.smithfarms.com/
.
In my Cuisinart burr grinder, I grind 1/3 cup (79 mL) which is about 1.2
oz. avoir. (34 gms) of beans, at the finest grind.
I brew the coffee over a very low flame on my gas stovetop and turn off the
heat when it's almost gurgling. Takes 10 or 15 minutes.
Gives me a nice big cup of delicious morning espresso, often with Grappa.
The beans are expensive, so I only do this once a week.
If I have a party, for after dinner, I might brew a pot and add 1/3
Frangelico or Amaretto to the cups. Sometimes Grand Marnier.
Good enough for the likes of me! Suggestions?

 Grappa in the morning??? WOW
A little in your morning espresso is wonderful. Try it! You'll thank me.
I'm having trouble finding a plain Sicilian Grappa, like my Nonno's Cumpara
Patsy (Gulota) made from Grampa's (Calabrese?) wine. He made a liqueur from
my Grandfather's dandelion wine, too. Most of the Grappa sold in Los
Angeles is flavored for the yuppies (and a 30 km drive each way).

How true! It sure warms you up nice. Trippa Fazool for dinner, eh? ;-)

Nah! Paniscia!! Rice cooked with savoy, beans, salame preserved in
lard, and lard itself! Red wine to gulp down and finally a finger of
Fernet. Hum, ok!, two fingers... 
Very tipical in my region! :)

Refried beans, rice, chorizo and a jug of Nebbiolo red wine by
Adobe Guadalupe and Mezc�l. Good Mexican food, not Siciliano. ;-D

Nebbiolo red wine by Adobe Guadalupe
;) Don't know how they can grow Nebbiolo in the middle of palms, but
you got perfectly what I mean with "red wine"... :)

 what a wonderful Life!!!
And how wonderful that we can all share our different views of it!!!

Bere!!!

I discovered red wine when my Nonno would take me into his wine cellar to
taste the barrels, starting when I was five or six. Now, at 74, with
diabetes, dry reds are all I can drink (well, OK, I indulge in an
occasional Pinot Noir and a rare Asti). Of course, I cook with Marsala!

 Bere!!!
LOL, in effects that's just 1,5 liters of 13,5% abv* wine. 2 bottles: 1- for 
lunch and 1+ for dinner and the evening. But caffe' corretto in the morning, 
well... that's beyond my limits :)

Corretto. 1.75 L of 40% abv Vodka, good enough to mix with coffee, costs me
$10 US. 5.2 L of 13.5% abv wine would be a lot more, albeit tastier . . .
that's beyond my limits ;-(
