Coffee on board

[Richard19068]

I drink 2-3 cups/day. I like coffee enough to buy the hipster stuff, but I'm not enough of a nerd to grind my own.

How about you?

If you really enjoy (not just like) coffee, grinding beans just before brewing makes a big difference and takes only a minute or two with a small hand grinder if you are making just a cup or two at a time.
I will gladly suffer being called a nerd if that's what it takes to enjoy the difference.

Here is a reasonable hand grinder for anything but espresso.

I use a #6 Melitta filter into a ss thermos, makes more than six cups, stays hot all day, pre-ground coffee usually Tim Horton's dark, I'm Canadian... I make it strong, recognizing it ain't perfect. Sometimes I'd buy "better" coffee, too, jut to treat myself. At home I use it too along with a cup of espresso from our machine (which unfortunately just broke!). I used a French press for a while, but it was far messier to clean than just dumping the used full filter into the trash.
