Anyone else grind up there own coffee?

[blm]

The best coffee I have yet to have was authentic Jamaican Blue Mountain when we were in Negril. I couldn't believe the difference. So strong yet smooth. Fresh beans, freshly ground, and also made via French press right at your table.

I grind coffee all the time. Buy coffee beans and store them in a cool dark place. Grind just enough for a day or two. The difference in flavor is amazing. When I see people buy those big tubs of Folgers coffee at the grocery store, I have to shake my head... Philistines!! :disagree:

We experiment with Arabica and Robusta, turkish and french, Kona, India blends, etc....

Great site....

Much better.

And make sure you only grind just before you serve and store properly.

i grind 3 tablespoons of whole beans AS the filtered water is boiling!

we store the beans in an air tight container! :thumup:

[Bouncer]

so deca i take it you grind your own beans and use a french press?

what brand of bean you like?

[decadecadeca]

lol.

thing about the french press is it has become one of those things lost in time BUT it makes BETTER coffee then a drip machine.

You're comparing fast food burgers to haute cuisine.

Some things are worth the wait.

You really are just about a hundred years behind on everything.

Just discovered twenty year old TV shows, hundreds of years old food tech, you'll tell us you just found out about running water next.

"Have you guys seen this shit! Water right in your fucking house!"

lol.
