I just saw the "Our mornin Coffee and Weather" thread and it made me wonder who grinds their coffee?

I do and at the moment I have Starbuck's french blend, I like a dark strong coffee taste, black with sugar. I can't believe I use to add creamer.

I used too, now I just buy ground Duncan Donuts regular blend. Wakes me up

I have ground my own beans. At present I'm pressed for time usually and drink Chock full of nuts, black.

I do not grind my coffee but I only like my coffee black with no funny flavors added. I had some "John Conti" coffee a few years ago while vacationing at Kentucky Lake. I purchase it a couple times a year from their website. I get their decaf breakfast blend and I would consider it my favorite.

At home I use a K-cup but usually drive into town and get a latte. The neighbor just texted me wanting me to pick one up for her.

I've been grinding coffee for many year and I use the Melitta pour over system cost less that $5 for brewer and cup . I love the control on grind size of my beans and freshness , plus I can control brewing too .

We occasionally splurge on Jamaican Blue Mountain Arabica beans which we grind at home. It's an exceptional coffee, but very expensive, so we only buy it once or twice a year for something special. Otherwise, we have a drip maker and feed it ground Columbian.

We sometimes grind and sometimes just use the pre-ground stuff. I am a coffeeholic. I will not live in a world without coffee. Can, and do, drink coffee morning, noon and, yes, in the evening, too. It's a family tradition on my Norwegian side of the family to sit down to a cup of coffee at the end of the day. Not talking decaf, either. I drink mine black, no sugar or cream, just straight and the darker and richer the better. Now and then, I do like a latte, but no flavoring, please. As an addict, I see flavored coffee as a way for coffee producers to mask the taste of their bad lots of coffee. None of that silly gor-met sissy stuff in my house.

Just this morning I pulled my french press out of the cupboard. I haven't used it in years because we got a Keurig machine and it was just too simple to drop in a pod and hit the button. The coffee was excellent.
I started buying beans recently and using the reusable cups for the Keurig. And I am happier with the coffee as well as the price. Those K cups ain't cheap.
We recently got a Nespresso machine and I am impressed with it. But again the pods are expensive.

I'm addicted to drinking a hot liquid whether it be coffee or tea. I take more care in brewing tea than coffee and have a single cup tea brewer from China. I also use real leaves and not dust in a bag when I use the authentic brewer. But I can also just pour hot water over a tea bag.

But most days I will drive the two miles into town and stop at Mercury Coffee. Its a small seven store chain that is near me and the range. Right now I'm on a 24 ounce hot Chai Tea Latte kick and have been for a month. I like big hot drinks with milk as it is usually by second breakfast.
