Meh, I did the whole coffee as a hobby back in the late 90s when it became popular to buy expensive beans from coffee clubs and use french presses and shit. Now I buy 2 bags of some french roast from costco, whole bean, and grind like a few days worth at one time.
I think Starbucks is the roaster for Kirkland brand. Its good coffee for the price.

Starbucks is so vile they use it to waterboard at gitmo, it literally tastes like someone scooped up anaerobic swamp water that had been infused with the charred intestinal shit remains of a viking burial performed two thousand years ago, cooked it down into a tar which was used to patch a roof leak on a house next to a pulp factory for 50 years until that shingle was put into a blender, the whole thing run over with a sheepsfoot roller, then after rosie O'Donnells body rejected it as a suppository, it's poured down a chimney into a cup, topped with froth swiped from a syphilitic whore's old laundry, then sold it to you for 7 dollars.

I think Starbucks tastes good. Their french roast coffee is also pretty inexpensive on Amazon. Shame my wife doesn't really like dark roast so I can't get it as often as I'd like. She puts so much creamer and shit in her coffee I don't know why she pretends whatever coffee I buy matters it'll just taste like whatever shit she puts in it.

Got a burr mill coffee grinder for early dad's day - I am enjoying it and can now use my French press with properly sized coffee. Haven't experimented much - first bag of beans I bought was some Hawaiian blend, so open for recommendations that don't involve chimney pipes or rose O'Donnell.

oh why lookie there, I skipped some of it apparently.

Thanks, there is a local Italian place that I think roasts their own beans, maybe I will try them also.

Its just a MrCoffee Automatic Burr Mill Grinder, nothing like that all in 1 machine, I would love that or one of those cool built ins...but they are like a few grand :p

I used to have a 50 dollar cuisinart burr grinder and it was literally like running over a pile of elephant shit with a rusty lawnmower then having a gaggle of geese come in, shit all over the shit, eat it, regurgitate it to their babies, smashing the chicks through an old screen door and scraping up the remains with a rototiller leaking oil, and using that to make coffee.

Served me well for like 5 years though.

He's on a caffeine high. He'll come down eventually. Once the allure of warm, freshly frothed milk wears off.
