Coffee in the morning. I grind mine fresh everyday. I drink it with a little cream, or black, never any sugar.

 

[strollingbones]

but isnt the secret to good coffee...roasting your own beans?

 

[alan1]

I don't have a roaster, maybe I will buy one some day.

 

[strollingbones]

so basically you are just grinding store bought beans and are all proud of yourself for that?

<-----snarky due to lack of sleep

 

[strollingbones]

hell the machine grinds them......so you do what...o put the beans in....

 

[alan1]

I usually buy from a local roaster, not the grocery store.
Don't know where you got pride from.

 

[strollingbones]

did you not see the snarky last of sleep comment.....

hell i take pride in eating like a fattening hog.....

Apparently my thing is to post on this board.

Well, that and break lawnmowers trying to keep the grasslands from hell from overwhelming my estate.

Let me know when you are ready for slaughter.

Geez bones ... what's up your craw? I was going to dog him out for going to so much trouble. I scoop it right out of the can, and I drink it black. People make WAY too much out of turning coffee into some kind of new art form.

Try some MRE instant for a few months. You could learn to appreciate a LOT of things.

Once you start grinding your bean right before you make your coffee, you cannot go back to using pre-ground coffee. Seriously the differnce is so vast that the pre-ground stuff tastes like crap.

I presume that once you start roasting your own beans, you cannot go back to preroasted beans, either.

Coffee is a lot like motorcycles, stereos and computers.

Once you become accustomed to the better(bigger) stuff, you can never go back to the inferior stuff.

My "thing" is music. Most any type of listening (few exceptions). Especially enjoying my son's talents. We'll see where that goes. As many performances as I can manage.
