Itt: COFFEE and stuff - revisited
I think you'll like it. Reason I love Peet's so much is because they're not burnt like starbucks trash, and not bitter like the Kirkland Columbian roast that I tried a while ago. They taste like......... real coffee 
I really appreciate that all of their bags are stamped with "fresh roasted on........." date so you actually know how old it is. Anything a month or less old usually tastes excellent. Most other brands never even bother with the date, cause their stuff is super old.

I've own a hand crank burr grinder for a number of years now, and coffee production has since become a source of contention in my marriage.
Thanks MiataTurbo!
It is all about the grind. Blade grinders SUCK, all you get is coffee dust. Burr grinders grind everything to a consistent size, and the extraction is much better. After that it's just about water at the right temperature, and decent beans.
KitchenAid burr grinder is expensive, but the bomb. Ours it 15 years old, and will probably outlive me. KitchenAid grinder + Bunn A10 commercial brewer + Kirkland 100% Columbian beans (I'm being serious here) = perfect coffee. Also fun to try beans from local roasters, but we keep coming back to Kirkland.

I'm growing my own coffee right now. I hope it tastes good when I am finished. I've watched some videos on cleaning, drying, and roasting it yourself. Should be fun.
My name is Juan Valdez, and I make the richest coffee in the world.

Its basic bitch and works. Unlike a lot of other ones on Amazon, with the Bodum you can actually get replacement glass if you accidentally drop it. Don't let the "8 cup" in the description fool you, that must be a rounding error from some sort of fascist measuring standard because I get about 2.5 'Merica's out of this fairly constantly. Start with a coarser grind and don't let it sit for more than ~5min on the top end. THere are enough variables with one of these that you can really experiment and see what works for you.
Yeah i've been doing a French Press every day for the last 2-3 years. My $7 IKEA press has seen better days, though. So i figured since i use it every day, i should get a nice one. Danke, sir.
