I remember my first coffee pot in my little duplex apartment while attending college. It probably cost me $10 at Walmart and I bought the cheapest coffee I could find. Keep in mind, I didn't even drink coffee, and when I made a pot...it was nothing to boast about. I had no clue on how to portion the water to the grounds so it was common to be watered down.
Then came the day that I suffered through a cup of black coffee to make a long drive to the city. By the time I made my way through that strong cup of coffee, I was wide awake! And as you can imagine...I went back for more the next time I had to make that long drive and before I knew it, I was a black coffee lover!
I've traveled many different paths along my coffee loving journey. There were the days when I visited the Tim Hortons drive through daily on my way to work and then came the days when K-cups were a thing. No more slow drip drop coffee! The Keurig made a single cup of coffee in seconds. It wasn't long until that got expensive and my love for the planet convinced me I needed to stop. Now if I see a Starbucks drive through, I may cut you off to get in line!
Currently we grind our coffee beans, pack the grounds in a reusable K-cup adapter, and through our Cuisinart Keurig it goes. But the truth be told...it's not really good coffee and I want GOOD coffee. Plus I must mention...this process is messy! All that grinding and packing has my counter covered in coffee grounds! Something has to change and I don't even mind if it means going back to the drip drop method of using a simple coffee pot if it means I'm sipping on good coffee.
It is time for me to find a new method for making coffee. No more mediocre coffee! I need your help.
