i buy latin roast and breakfast blend from a local coffeehouse/coffee brew shop called "cup o joes". 1/3 c each of the beans, grind 20 seconds, add 32 ounces of fresh cold filtered water, drip pot into thermos. my decaf at home is starbucks decaf verona, beans of course . naw, i'm not the one with 'coffee issues' right? , oh yeah, real half and half, no powdered creamers for me, EVER!
