My grandfather is/was a construction worker for a good sight better than 40 years.

I learned to drink coffee from him; and if it wouldn't float a 16 db nail, it wasn't ready yet.

That said, I acquired a finer taste for coffee, and the three best things you can do are:

Buy the best beans you can;
Grind your own;
Use a press.

Those three things alone take coffee to a whole new level.

I say this, and haven't had a cup in over 3 weeks... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />
