i'm a coffee snob in training
i'm the designated office coffee snob. . i use both the starbucks house blend and cafe verona in the office drip pot. i often buy these coffees. both are medium balanced tastes and are good basic coffees. i think if you have a consistant tastes good to you way of making your coffee, trying a french press would be fun to try, you could do a "coffee tasting" party to find your favorite mix and brew methods. my local coffee house, cup o joe's has many types of coffee and i've experimented with trying many of their blends. for my home coffee, i grind 1/3 cup latin blend, 1/3 cup joe's breakfast blend in 2 batches in a cheaper grinder for 20 seconds, put it in the drip basket and pour 32 ounces of very cold filtered city water thru. this is enough for 2 serious coffee am coffee drinkers. it works out to 2 tablespoons of finely ground coffee to 12 ounces of water. i use a drip pot, cause in the am, until i'm awake my using anything more complicated would be too dangerous to me, the cats and the dog, who has 'tried' my coffee.
in taking a fast look at phreds' posting about www.coffeegeek.com, i've got a lot to learn...hmmm. thanks phred!
