Anyone grind their own coffee?

[Sister Fracture]

To clarify: You want your fucking coffee, you make your own damn coffee, and you clean the fucking thing up.

Yeah, well,  It was easier to make the damn coffee than listen to him whine.  My bad.

I would, but I have been banned from all food/drink preparation after the grilled cheese thing.

How do you make that bad of a mess with grilled cheese (she asks with some trepidation).

I don't think it was as much a mess as it was a fire.

I'm presuming it's all in the "telling" of this incident?

My coffeemaker has both a timer and a grinder basket.  Whole beans go in, and the timer is set.


My alarm clock is the savage grinding of beans, followed by the heavenly aroma of freshly brewed coffee.

I want one of these

and now this thread is funny

This would be my house if I lived on the bottom floor where we keep the coffee maker.

Instead I wake up to the radio.  And then that song plays over and over in my head for HOURS.

...but I digress.

Freshly ground is the ONLY way to go for us.

I had one of those.  Given that, at the time, I didn't drink coffee and just ran the damn thing for my husband, cleaning the mess out of it every day was just too much of a pain in the ass.  I rejoiced when it broke.

BREAK THE HUSBAND, NOT THE COFFEE GRINDER!!!

Would have saved me a shitload of trouble.

I currently have an electric grinder but I'm gonna get a mill for my next one... The electric grinder works really well on whole spices, but not so great on getting even grounds with coffee. A mill like the one Dean linked to in the OP is more consistent.

[Telarus]

I have a little black and decker electric grinder. Fresh ground or GTFO.

I prefer my grinding my own beans and using a French Press.

HOWEVER, when it comes right down to it my caffiene addiction doesn't give a fuck how the magic gets in my system.

I'm drinking my first cup of french press made coffee as I type.  Holy shit this is good stuff.

[Jenne]

Coffee from a press is also always MUCH stronger but also more robust in flavor, I find.  We went through a phase of using one, but then we just got damned fucking lazy.  Now we only use one when we go camping.

[El Sjaako]

I used to drink cheap whiskey, now I only drink single malt. All the cheap stuff tastes horrible.

I used to drink tea from tea bags, now I can't stand the taste. Properly brewed loose leaf tea is so much better.

I refuse to get into good coffee, because I'm afraid I'll lose interest in delicious vending machine caffeine water.

[Jenne]

Yeah, you'd be saving the hot coffee-flavored water for desperation rather than necessity.  It's a hard knock life, getting used to shit that tastes good.
