Good Morning OG!
We have a Bunn coffee maker, by the time I wash my face my coffee is ready for me. Got a couple of perk pots for emergency & camping. But don’t have either anymore, lol so they just sit on the shelf.

I hate my hamilton beach coffee maker. It always put coffe grounds in the pot. Only good thing is i can fix it up at night and set it for 6am. Usually i get up right around then so coffee (with grounds) is ready as soon as i get up. The heating spot stays on for two hours.

The Bunn keeps a pot of water hot all ready for ya to push the button and 3 minutes later you have a pot of hot coffee. We prep it before going to bed.

Good morning JP! Good morning everyone! I use a French Press to make coffee every morning. It’s not the most convenient method for making coffee but I enjoy the flavor and potency I get out of it. I did have one of those single pod Kurig machines that made a cup on demand which was cool, but it went teets up so back to old faithful.

It can be kind of spendy, but coffee is a vice of mine. Gotta have it or the damn roof will cave in I feel like. That little electric single pod coffee machine was pretty nifty while she lasted, press and go kind of thing. There is just something bout these French presses that I can’t do without.

We go through a 12cup pot in the morning with no problem! Maybe even another… at $50.00 a pound for the Kona dark roast whole beans, we gotta pass!

Holy smokes! I like my coffee but not that much!! Probably a cool experience being able to try that Kona Coffee tho. I usually go get a bulk Costco 3 or 5 LB of the whole bean dark or medium and grind them at home. I can’t remember how
Much it is but it lasts long enough for me to forget how much I paid for it. Probably 20-30 bucks or something.

We have 2 grinders, one electric and the other hand crank. The hand crank gives a better ‘grind’ but gives me hell now to use! lol Now n then we splurge and grab a small bag of Kona from the store.

I quit using my Keurig because it’s such a ripoff.

I love a good pot of French preessed coffee. I have gotten lazy and like to hit the button and walk away though. Lil half and half, just a few grains of raw sugar. My coffee I don’t cheap on. Its not top shelf but its sourced and consistent.

I went to Jamaica a few years back with some friends. Stopped in a little coffee shop and drank the best coffee ive ever tried. It was samples. So good, i bought five pounds to bring home with me. When i ground it up and brewed it was just ok. Nothing special. I talked to one of my friends that went with me. I said that coffee tastes bad. Whats the difference? He said those samples had Jamaican Rum in it.
Ah! Explains everything.

Yep, think I’ve heard something like/about that before. lol
In the islands, they put a ‘touch’ in the coffee at shops. Maybe not all, don’t know. But some for sure.
Last time I went to any of the Carribean Islands was back in the 70s lol
lol Don’t ask about my trips, I was always too F’d up to remember much!
