    Lets talk about COFFEE

    One of these days I'll get off my duff and offer up some home roasted coffee on this thread. This past holiday I pulled out all the stops and roasted Geishas, JBM Peaberry, a Panama Elida estate, and a few others.

    Gaziano & Girling Appreciation & Shoe Appreciation Thread (including reviews, purchases, pictures)

    MH71 I size up in, but I have a wide foot. So I'm 10.5UK in that last and a 10UK in EG 202 doesn't work for me. Interestingly, I have a strong preference for a sole where the outsole/welt are visible (I prefer rubber vs. leather in this last).

    STEAKS!!!!!!!

    My objection to inferno grills is captured above. Not all grilled items benefit from such high heat. Perhaps these have evolved since I looked at them years ago (my grill is built in to a 12,000 lb concrete architectural enclosure so I am "committed"), but I would not want to grill everything...

    STEAKS!!!!!!!

    I do not. I have a 48" Viking grill. My thermoworks thermometer does max out at 700 degrees, but this is ambient across the entire grill. Full closed peak temp unknown.

    STEAKS!!!!!!!

    On the topic of SV vs. reverse sear, I use a combination technique with tomahawk steaks that works very well -- essentially you SV to the desired RS temp and then finish on the firey grill. Renders more fat than typical with the SV / hot iron skillet method. I tend to feel most SV + grill...

    That is some solidly marbled beef or the price paid.

    Cleaning pebble train shoes - advice sought

    I have a pair of tan pebble grain cap toe boots that suffered an incident with dishsoap (straight up Dawn spewed like Jackson Pollock over them, and I didn't notice until later). I've done the Saphir Reno-Mat job and then a cream polish, but there's still some discoloration. Any suggestions...

    Desert Chukka boot paired with Jeans

    Pair suede with suede or pebble with pebble or flat with flat leather in your boots / belt, where possible. Also match general shade if possible. When you get obsessive, you can turn to matching your watch bands as well.
