Coffee grinding coffee drinkers?

[Tape]

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.

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.

[Deadwood Dutch]

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.

[imeccentric]

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

[Tape]

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.

I'm getting up to do a grinding and drink some.
