Coffee grinding coffee drinkers?

I used to grind the beans too, and tried several varieties, most of 'em with names I couldn't pronounce, but now I just stick to Nescafe Gold Blend instant. When I want a coffee, I want one NOW!! - not in 10 minutes after the grief of grinding and percolating it!

I put 16 ozs of water in the microwave for 4 1/2 mins [ just under 212 degrees ] . Then I ground my coffee beans and in put it in my Melitta coffee maker and pour the 200 degree water over grounds and it less then 6 mins start to finish I have 16 ozs of fresh coffee , brewed perfectly to my taste .

You're making me want to go get another cup. Sounds delicious.

I ground my own beans for years but a couple years ago we got a Keurig machine and now I can have my dark roast and my wife gets her light roast. Makes for a happy family.

Never ground my own coffee. We bought a Keurig when they first came out years ago and it is still working, even though it sounds like a plane taking off when it pumps. You can hear it all over the house, I don't know what keeps it running. I have only descaled it twice. I get the K-cups for $25.00 for a box of 80 cups at an outlet here called Ollie's Outlet. It may not be the most popular brands but I really like what they have to offer in dark and medium roast, tastes good. I guess they are factory overruns or something like that, but it is never out of date. At SAM's Club or BJ's it is usually $39.00 for a box of 80, but then you have a choice of the more popular brands.

grinding your own is just so much better, once I done it I was stuck and couldn't drink store bought ground coffee any longer, it's just so bland and weak.

Not only grind it, but we roast it as well. Coffee berries are cheaper, give better flavor and keep a long time. Use a hot air popcorn popper for roasting. Coffee is my main source of nutrition

Coffee berries are cheaper

where do you get the berries? I had no idea you could buy the berries or I would have done so yrs ago.

I ground up some coffee last night, but only because I bought a bag of whole beans by mistake. One of these days I'm gonna splurge on another Keurig machine (wore one out a coupla years ago). Those K-cups may be a bit pricey, but they make excellent coffee.
