Uh wow! you take your coffe seriously, cant blame ya. I t is one of my vices no doubt.

Another great way to drink coffe is with canned evaporated milk. I t gives the coffe a slightly sweet nutty very rich taste. Try it!

What do you use for a grinder? I like the top grinders with a burr that does the grinding. Makes very even grounds.

 

My favorte coffee bean is the Costa Rican La Manita but dam if I can find it around here.

 

When I get a different place I wil be roasting the beans at home. If you love coffee check out www.sweetmarias.com - the specialie in home roasting and have a HUGE selection of green beans, each one with a very in-deth review and analysis.

 

I've used a lot of coffee pots and ultimately decided on the French Press and an Italian Moka Pot, depending if I want a regular or an espresso type coffee.

 

Honey - said it before but wll say it again. If you have not tried coffee with honey in it instead of sugar you are really missing something. If you insist n sugar use turbanado type (raw sugar). t has a slight "tooth" to it and a hint of caramel. Also melds much nicer with the coffee than granulated white sugar, which I find a bit harsh and edgy.

There is a coffee pot that grinds its own beans.the best coffee ever.

Yep, this is what I use, and it's great!!!

The top freshly grinds the beans, and then the grounds fall down into the filter and the brewing starts

Dude, I think I saw one of those at Williams Sonoma for over $200. That's even if it does make good coffee. Of course, once I get my Ph.D. and am making the big bucks, let's see what's on my kitchen countertop then

 

Ah... another morning of administering tests to my students. I'd almost rather be forced to the entire series of Atari Force. Almost.

Actually it was a wedding present, and I think it came from "Bed Bath and Beyond"

for around $100-$125, so not that bad

Usually get a "red eye" at Starbucks (coffee with an added espresso shot), or "black eye" (coffee with two added espresso shots) for those days when I really need a pick me up.

 

I drink way too much coffee ...
