^That's alright. I drink perhaps one cup in the morning and sometimes I will drink a decaf in the afternoon or in the evening. Maybe we should talk about what blend of coffee people like to drink. I buy Dunkin Donut coffee from Costco.
I am curious to try the Santos Double Vac one of these days. I think it looks kind of cool. It reminds me of hooka set up.

I just hit up two different Starbucks and a Target, looking for whole bean Starbucks Columbian coffee. Neither of them had it and they didn't think they were stocking it. I ended up buying the only package of ground Starbucks Columbian I could find, at Target. Then I went to Trader Joes and bought some of their whole bean Columbian coffee. I hope I like it as much as I like the Starbucks version because it was about half the price.

to the FP for a really tasty cuppa java. I like costa riccan tarrazu medium roast for my espresso machine. Starbucks over-roasts most of their beans for my taste. I prefer medium roasted and for a french press really like Jamaica Blue Mountain beans.

French presses are great when traveling, or when our regular machine is in for repairs. Beats drip coffee by a big margin, and so much better than your average hotel coffee that they might as well be different products entirely.
We have an unbreakable Bodum that we even take camping. The only downside is that since we buy whole beans, we need to also have a good grinder, which we do (Capresso, IIRC).

^^ Do you take your grinder when you go camping? I have a couple of grinders and really like my SB grinder when I'm forced to be without my auto machine. I'm wondering if you have a battery operated grinder for traveling.

hmmm, I like Jamaica Blue Mountain and Hawaiian Kona.
It's hard to get the real thing and not a "mix" without spending an arm and a leg.
