French Press is awesome but you have to get the coffee right grind wise. Burr grinders are best as they privide a more consistant grind. You need to make sure the ground coffee is larger than the screen in your press so that you dont end up with too much coffee "silt" escaping into your cup. the spice type grinders dont grind as consistantly for me at least, and as someone else noted, grind the coffeee right before brewing, it tastes WAY better.

I roast sweet maria's green beans in a hot air popper and let them sit overnight (venting CO2). Grind in a Hario manual burr grinder and serve drip, french press, aeropress, whatever.......excellent coffee.

Here's an interesting FAQ on Keurig's Website:

How do I drain and store the brewer?

Once your Keurig home brewer has been primed, you cannot empty the water from the inside. The internal tank of the brewer cannot be drained. If you need to store your brewer, empty the removable water reservoir and store your brewer in a safe and frost-free environment. Please be sure to store your brewer in its upright position to avoid water leakage from the inner tank. If you store the brewer in a cold environment, you run the risk of water freezing inside the brewer and causing damage. When you prepare to use it after storage, we recommend rinsing the removable water reservoir with fresh water and running three cleansing brews without a portion pack. If you plan to move your brewer to a different location, turn the brewer off, unplug it and empty the removable water reservoir. If your brewer has been in an environment below freezing, please be sure to let it warm to room temperature for two hours before brewing.

One (Keurig Owner) "cannot empty the water"? Hmmm. . .

Here's an interesting article: Why I Kicked My Keurig to the Curb
I've used the Keurig Machines from time-to-time at work (since it's there on the counter by the water cooler) or at the Subaru Dealership when waiting for my scheduled vehicle maintenance/repairs mostly as a matter of convenience.

Either way and/or how, I still enjoy COFFEE!

Yeah, that's kind of a big deal to hospitals... Not sure how Keurig gets a pass.

Indeed! I'm more concerned with the mold and bacteria and that biofilm that could possibly be harbored within the built-in water tank of said coffee machine.

I have been buying Peet's coffee for a hwile now, and really like a few of their blends, and African coffees. However, they are very, very progressive, and anti-gun so I have been searching for something similar that is not so in my face politically. Any suggestions?

Just in case I didn't post.

Chemex released this:

Chemex Shocks World With HIGH. . .$$$

For that $$$ range, think I'll try the Dragon first. Then again, anything COFFEE related! ! !

AeroPress users, I just stumbled upon this thing-ah-mah-jig:

Spressa Mezzo

I don't think the inversion method will work with this contraption.
