Gato,
If you really like good coffee... step away from the DiMaggio peddled Mr Coffee and step up to presspots. Filter coffee makes about as much sense as the Jamaican bobsled team.

Maybe so...but try getting a good grinder for your presspot whilst keeping your arm and leg. Any presspot can make good coffee, without the inherent sludge, if you have a good grinder. The burr grinders (best type IMO) start out at around $60 and go up to close to $200, while you can get a decent presspot for just under $40. Besides...a presspot is nothing more than a modernized 'field coffee' kit.

Don't your grocery stores have a grind your own section? All the ones around here do. Re grinders, I've got a battery operated one I paid twenty bucks for (admittedly at a store that was going out of business) that does and excellent job on the press stuff (although it won't do esspresso grind worth a darn).

Yes...blade grinders.
The reason why I'm sticking to filtered coffee, BTW. No matter where I go, I can use my 4-cup MrCoffee...and it has travelled as much as I have. Carrying around close to $200 in coffee making equipment is asking for breakage.

I have one of those jillion dollar burr grinders. Its not nearly as expensive as the coffee I use. Even as expensive as the setup is, its never more than about .20 a cup. My coffee blows Starbucks away. I just wish I had one of their $5000 espresso rigs.

That's because the burr grinders give you a more uniform grind. Blade grinders, no matter how expensive, will never give you a uniform ground size...which is the best way to get a really good cup of coffee. You can grind beans in your blender, if you're desperate, but the taste of the coffee at the 'bottom of the carafe' will be like the scrapings off your shoe after a walk through a muddy puddle...and that's what most blade grinders are derived from...explanation here.

so there is less caffeine in the packaged stuff? or it wears out over time?
Timmy's isn't *really* one of those joints. It's just donuts and sammiches and REAL good coffee. $1.55 for an extra large. No fancy schmancy anything.
Tim's made snopes with a "laced with nicotine" rumour.
lol
haha
I will have to show the girlfriend that one.
She has worked at Timmys for about 4 years now.
