- no! grind it fresh. once ground the oils seep out the coffee and it loses its taste over time.Samush

Ceramic pour over, rinse filter through the pour over and into your cup to remove paper taste / warm your cup. Use a burr grinder and high quality locally roasted beans, purified and boiled water = an amazingly clean, and fresh cup, every day.
- boiling water is too hot, should be about 196 F / 91 Cacescence

In my experience I think you're best off buying coffee that's actually good to start with. That's probably the most important part.
But after that I use a French press. Always. It does give your coffee a tiny bit of sludge at the very bottom but I don't mind. The flavor you can get from it way better than you can get from your standard drip machine because you're essentially mixing up the ground beans with the water you will be drinking.
I also like the French press for it's simplicity. No electricity, portable, easy to clean/store, and dead simple to use. I don't think coffee should be about the latest gadgets. It should be about drinking good coffee!
People talk a lot about the quality of the grind. I've ignored that for years but I think I'm ready to take the plunge and buy a real grinder. I'm thinking that it may also reduce the amount of sludge at the bottom of my cup because the beans will no longer be ground so fine that they pass through the filter.
