Some Columbian blend from the office with cream and sugar.  Not sure who makes it, but it works for me.

I'm trying out a new French press with some Columbian Supremo this morning.  The coffee is great in the drip pot so it should be much better from the press.

Ah!  The French press worked great!  Very nice cup of smooth, strong coffee.  I was tempted to try some of the espresso beans I fetched home the other day but I've already got enough caffeine on board to last the rest of the day.

We, too, tried the French Press and loved it.   But we sent it back in a week.

The problem is you can't keep the coffee hot in a French Press unless you make just enough to serve immediately.  With just the two of us, having to come back an make more coffee two or three times each morning for our second and third cups got old fast.

I see that they now offer an update to the French Press that's insulated stainless steel instead of the classic Pyrex version, but that wasn't available back when.

Got a French press, and am very happy with it.  Made some fresh ground Kenyan last night.

We don't intend to completely abandon Mr. Coffee.  It will still do yeoman's duty most mornings.  The French press will be reserved for those times when I feel like messing around with it and making that extry special cup.  Granted, the classic glass version won't keep the coffee hot long but any leftovers can be decanted into a vacuum cup or thermos.  I fully intend to consume the product before it has a chance to get cold though.  :biggrin:

Found some holiday egg-nog flavored coffee in the back of the cupboard this morning, so brewed it up. Great for a nostalgic moment, and a nice changeup from the usual french roast.

Never could stand the taste of coffee.  Maby because growing up on the farm my folks would drink the
stuff out of the red can that would sit on the counter for months at a time.  I was thinking of getting a
french press and some gourmet coffee to see if my tastes have changed.

What would you coffe experts recommend? :confused:

Kola eggnog flavored coffee is the BEST !!!  I'm not trying to top you but try this one, make strong regular coffee, and pour real eggnog into the cup ! I do that at Christmas time and it is delish !!!

Coffee, like so many other things (beer/cigars), is an acquired taste.  I couldn't stand the stuff until college, and even now, I'm not a fan of the big chains (Starbucks/DD).

I'm not an expert, but I've found some good info here:

My coffee today is a blend of 50% Dunkin Donuts Dark ground coffee and 50% Sumatra Decaf I roasted about 5 days ago.

Lot's of flavor from the sumatra decaf, and the Dunkin Dark gives it enough caffeine to make it a pick me up cup.

Added 2 sugars, one milk and it tastes terrific ! ! ! !

I really like this one and the price($8 per pound) is good.  However there shipping rates($7.95 for 1 pound) suc.  I used to get it through a local shop that recently closed down thanks to the Starbucks(can't stand most of there stuff) invasion.  They charged $10.?? a pound vs the $8.00 a pound online.  It was worth it so that I did not have to drive to downtown Houston.  But with there shipping rates I may have to start driving there.  Maybe I can check into what it would cost me to ship you out a pound next time I venture downtown.  If your interested I'll give it a whirl but it may be a bit before I get downtown.  There regular Blue Mountain is even better but a bit to costly at the rate I drink coffee.  I think it is ~$30 a pound.

Edit:  Today's cup would be another tall serving of the crap they give us at work.  It ain't much but it's free and has caffeine in it.
