Review: Noxzema

When it comes to chamois cream, I guess I am old school. I prefer noxzema, of course there are all sorts of creams, embrocations, and stuff you can rub on your body. I found noxzema does the trick for long days in the saddle. You can buy it anywhere, its cheap, and works. There is now a variety of containers and types for most anyone, too.

I suppose since I have a whole 6 followers and one reader about coffee from Japan, I should start this thing back up again. Look for some ride pictures, reviews and exploits from the last 6 months.

Does (or did) anybody read this thing?

I haven't been much of a blogger lately, but some of my blogging trouble always come when I wonder if anybody ever visits my tiny corner of the interweb or if I write these things for my own satisfaction thinking and hoping that someone might read it. Who knows, i might have ruined it this time by not posting for about 6 months. Is it dead?

Product Review

So this doesn't really have anything to do with riding bikes. After some reading and research here, I picked up a older german made coffee mill (grinder) for about $10 around christmas time. I decided to go with an Armin Trosser rather than many of the more stylish Dienes or Zassenhaus grinders. The burr grinder works great and can grind beans with stepless adjustment all the way from turkish style extra fine powder all the way up to a super coarse french press grind (what I have been using lately) it easily grinds coffee fine enough to choke any espresso machine causing the OPV (over pressure valve) to kick in. Anyhow german ones are the best and those with forged and machined burrs are the ones to go with rather than those with cast burrs. You can search ebay or hit up your local thrift/antique store for these beauties. A word of warning though, supposedly lots of these are pretty beat and of not manufactured with such tight tolerances and may not produce the grind you are looking for so try first. Also to clean the burrs grind white rice through them.

Also don't forget that these are hand powered and great for camping or anywhere else you may not have power or be able to lug a grinder. If you are impatient or don't want to feel like you are back in elementary school sharpening pencils, look elsewhere. But I dare you to find a modern electronic grinder for less than $350 that produces a grind of the same quality.
