    I just like the taste of good coffee. I have to limit myself to one of two cups a day and I’d be shaking I bet.

    Most folks don’t really try expensive specialty beans or move beyond drip coffee. If most decaffeinated coffee wasn’t garbage I’d switch out at least carry both.

    I know this is pretentious, I still think it’s true.

    I recently had a light roast fermented with a mix of citrus fruit. The result was almost like a really fully bodied tea with hints on citrus. Low acid and bitterness. But it costs $35/12oz and is limited batch which is way more than most want to deal with.

    Decent espresso starts at like $600 buy in so they can’t experiment that route either.

      I will forever advocate good coffee methods. An electric kettle and a French press or Clever dripper will always taste better than a Mr. Coffee pot dripper. Even with less than great coffee brands/grounds.

        Oh, definitely. I have an electric moka pot in the office, and the coffee it makes is miles better than that weird paper disk coffee machine the company bought.

        That being said, it is less forgiving on poor roasts than a French press, but I’ve had good results with Cameron’s Hawaiian blend and Aerial Resupply’s MOAB robusta.
