Home Forums Discussions General Discussion Let's Do Coffee, We'll Talk

I just started drinking coffee this year. I never liked the stuff, but Alton Brown did a coffee show on Good Eats last year, about the "right" way to brew a cup of coffee.

I took his lesson to heart, went to T.J. Maxx and got a Bodum French Press coffee maker (50% off!) and a blade grinder from Wal-Mart (didn't splurge on the burr grinder). I only buy small bags of fresh beans, and the bag has to have a little valve to "breathe". These little factors make all the difference in the world.

Now I am addicted to coffee, especially with my wife's buttermilk pancakes and real maple syrup (you gotta splurge sometimes).

I like real cream in my coffee, no sugar. Sometimes I use goat's milk and make cafe au lait (we have seven goats).

Of course, I still can't drink "bad" coffee (which is what 99% of all coffee is).
