Why is it that a cup of coffee you enjoy at Starbucks (or thereabouts) seems to taste better than the one you make at home? The reason for this is usually in either the roast, the temperature of the machine or the grind.
To avoid this, try a can of Chock Full O’ Nuts French Roast coffee. This is a pure bred coffee (best in Brooklyn) and its cheaper than a can of LaVazza (which sucks) and you’ll never have to grind it. In fact, they grind it only one way and it works in pretty much all coffee makers–including the percolating type that my Grandma would use as she mixed eggshells in with the ground beans. The result is a splendid cup of coffee that is far cheaper than five lattes’ a week.
I am so glad I discovered this alternative. Now I won’t need a custom mouthpiece from the dentist.
