I just got a new coffee maker and made my first cup this morning. Holy shit. I seriously never new coffee could taste this good. The beans get ground up and slide right into the filter.
Grinding beans per serving is the way to go. Just had to share that groundfuckingbreaking revelation.

The french press is the absolute way to go fresh ground every morning

@ Greedo
It may be the type of coffee you're using that makes it turn bitter quickly. We brew up 48oz every morning and it's fine through a few hours... We normally use Sumatran (organic) or Ethiopian (Sweet)..

With french press, you should brew it, then transfer it directly into your cup or an urn. You shouldn't let it sit in the press if you want the coffee to stop "steeping".. Which all in all, equals bitterness.

Good coffee beans help too....

- I have this too and don't really like it. The pot is plastic and has lots of nooks for coffee sludge to build up. It is a bitch to clean as well. But it is convinient!epigraph

ok so here's one that I've always wondered about...
do you freeze the beans????
some people say yes, others say it ruins the natural oils.
I personally freeze and the coffee seems to come out ok.

Kopi Luwak (pronounced [ˈkopi ˈluwak]) or Civet coffee is coffee made from coffee berries which have been eaten by and passed through the digestive tract of the Asian Palm Civet (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus). The civets eat the berries, but the beans inside pass through their system undigested. This process takes place on the islands of Sumatra, Java and Sulawesi in the Indonesian Archipelago, in the Philippines (where the product is called Kape Alamid) and in East Timor (locally called kafé-laku). Vietnam has a similar type of coffee, called weasel coffee, which is made from coffee berries which have been defecated by local weasels. In actuality the "weasel" is just the local version of the Asian Palm Civet.

That why restaurant grind beans, it taste bloody amazing. Sadly I cannot drink coffee, it give me migraines, and they really do fuck you up.

I've got a coffee maker like that too, grinds right before it brews. Sounds like a rap song - "gonna grind you before we drink our brews."
However, the best, most tastiest coffee is that which is made with french press. Bottoms up, indeed.

stoplying--looks good but some people seem to say the water temp is too low-- what do you think?
- stoplying0
So far I can't complain about temp, although I am drinking it on my way to work in the car where it's about 85 degrees and humid.
So too hot would be bad now. I don't like my coffee scalding hot either for what it's worth.

Has anyone here heard about the Clover? There's a great article on it's creation in this months WIRED. Only problem is it's $11k per machine. Starbucks already bought the rights.

I drink coffee every morning and about 3 nights a week. I have a regular coffee maker that you have to put pre-ground beans into. Taste fine to me. I'm also a starbucks drinker.
Guess I'd have to taste coffee brewed from an $11k machine side by side with my $25 Target special.
- holy shit... 11 grand for a coffee maker?? screw that...SigDesign
