Coffee

[badwhale]

I enjoy coffee. My current knowledge of coffee is about as much as I knew about cigars when I ordered my "South of the Boarder" humidor & sampler from Thompson in '05.

We have a Kitchenaid grinder that we run 8 O'Clock bean through. Personally, I like the French Roast version, or the Columbian, but unfortunately, when Wifey goes to the store, she buys shit. I buy the good stuff, because when I drink coffee I want to taste it...wait I digress. Sometimes we have the "red" bag from them, which I feel is the least tasty.

I've been studying the coffee threads on this board, and am waiting for a strategic time to go off the deep end...

I'm in the same boat as Will. I enjoy coffee and have been studying the threads on coffee and taking notes in chat when the topic turns to coffee, but am a novice when it comes to knowing anything about coffee, other than if I like it when I'm drinking it or not. I remember I used to enjoy the commercial crap they serve us at work, but lately, I have been "over it", so to say. When I first started drinking coffee, I adulterated it with cream and sugar. But now, I prefer to drink it black, so that I can taste it. I think I'll be exploring the coffee world in the next few months, so thanks to Mark and everyone else for sharing your knowledge. This seems like when I first found this site, except instead of skipping a desktop humidor and going for the coolerdor, I'll be skipping the blade grinder and going for a conical burr grinder. Right? lol
