Hi, my name is Billy, and I'm a coffee addict...wait, wrong meeting.
We usually get Starbucks (I know, I know) Espresso Roast or Pike place by the 5 pound bag. We go through about 5 lbs a month, so it makes it easier just to buy a big bag. We like the darker, bitter flavor that Starbucks has...hell, my wife likes coffee that has sat in the pot all day (she's a weirdo).
I've gotten away from drinking a whole pot a day by myself, I used to make a pot in the morning, put it in my thermos and cup and be set. Here the last few months I've been using a moka-pot in the morning to make my brew. It's enough to get me going...
My favorite way to brew coffee is with a french press...it tastes so good. I've never been able to time my Corning Ware percolator where the coffee is strong, yet not funky tasting. My Moka-pot gets used a lot. The old stand by though, is our Bunn, when I just want a pot of coffee now, it's my go to guy.
I've experimented with roasting my own beans, but I don't have any way to do it out side and it smokes up the house quite a bit to do it on the stove top or in the oven. Our convection oven did work really good though. Cleaning the chaff is a PITA as well...it did make a good, fresh cup of coffee. :)
The old stand by...
preferred method...
daily dose...
I got my grandmothers corning ware when she passed away...I don't use the percolator for coffee since I can't seem to get it to come out right, but I do use it to make sassafras tea.
