How I feel about coffee and tea. Coffee/Tea = the GEM Micro"Junk"omatic. Don't like taste of either one. Seems strange but I have gotten through 61 years of like without needing a coffee or tea fix. Do love the smell of fresh ground coffee for sure. Wonder how something that smells so great can taste so bad. Now those who love the stuff, good for you. My wife is one of them. More tea than coffee but when she does the coffee thing it will sometimes include some fancy flavored stuff my daughter sends her. Me, I'll take a diet Pepsi or Coke anyday. In fact it ticks me off when I go to business meetings and all they have for the beverage, especially in the mornings with the donuts and pastries is coffee. I usually end up with just water. But then I love water. That's what I need a good glass of fresh clear tap water.

I use a French Press most of the time and only with fresh ground medium beans. Once I started doing that, there was no turning back to the big cans at WallyWorld!
I highly recommend using a press - it is affordable, easy, and results in great coffee!

I wonder, can you still buy coffee perculators, electric or stove top? I have a small enamel ware coffee pot I bought for camping. I've used it over an open fire and on a Coleman stove. It came with perculator innards, so I tried it and loved it. We use a Cuisinart drip coffee maker at the house, but I still prefer perked coffee. Somehow it seems to taste better to me. I can remember my mother perking coffee on the stove. If my memory is correct, it was an all glass perculator, even the innards. I'll have to go on the net and search.

I have been getting up early the last few days since I am off work for the week. I mostly perk my coffee these days but I have a french press that I use a lot too. My Drip pots not so much. I will have to get back to them here before long.
I need to find an all metal French Press to add to the collection if anyone knows where to pick one up let me know please.

I have a restaurant grade Bunn that has a 1600watt heater so the water is very hot. I grind my beans with a burr grinder. I like to get the beans from a couple of on line retailers and prefer Intellengestia or Stumptown coffee roasters. I do like the Starbucks French Roast in a pinch though.

Coffee? What's that? Don't drink the stuff but the wife does. Has to have a cup every morning or she is not happy. Don't have anything expensive as far as coffee maker. Something we bought at Target.
But she does go all out for coffees. Between her and our daughter they manage to get her a lot of fair trade coffees as well as coffees from some of the world capitals our daughter has visited.
While I don't drink coffee I love the smell of fresh ground coffee. I can still remember as a kid going into the A&P store and smelling the fresh ground Eight O'Clock coffee they ground on site.

Coffee... yes
We have a bunn maker at work that several of us pitch in to pay for whole beans and supplies to keep a pot going at all times. I aeropress at other times.
