Thanks.

Stainless-steel blades guarantee a long life and an even grind, whether you use this grinder for coffee, spices, nuts, or even whole grains. –Jill Lightner
I have to admit here and now that I am addicted to Lao Coffee and one of my favorite places to relax and enjoy a few glasses of this classic brew is here in Luang Prabang on the banks of the Mekong. I first came here when I went on a small tour in November 1998, almost nine years ago! At that time an older gentleman and his wife ran the shop and were very friendly. They catered to everyone, the local tuk tuk drivers, retired older men, and a wide variety of falang (foreigners). They loved to have the foreigners sign a journal they kept and people loved to come and enjoy a glass of coffee and read what other people thought about the coffee shop. Unfortunately the man died suddenly and unexplainably in 2003 and the man’s son and his wife now run the shop. When I first came there coffee was 1500 kip and is now about 3000 kip. In this video you will see how Lao coffee is made. It’s made from real Lao coffee from the Bolovens, but from robusta beans, not arabica beans. And traditionally they use a bag filter like you see in this video. And because outside of Vientiane and Luang Prabang fresh milk is basically unavailable, they use condensed milk. I like drinking good coffee here at home in the states, but Lao coffee made with condensed milk in Laos is delicious. Most Lao don’t drink coffee, but if they do, they almost invariably only have one glass. I have a minimum of two, usually three glasses and that’s my breakfast! It’s one of my few real pleasures to sit wherever I might …
