I don't think you'd approve of my coffee making methods ..... take a disposable plastic spoon, and put 5 scoops of beans into the 5 dollar Hamilton Beach chopper (grinder) I bought off Facebook rummage. Eye it up to see if it looks right, add or take beans out if amount doesn't look right. Grind/Chop in a pulsing method for about 20-30 seconds, until the peaks of the grounds stop falling/churning in a fast manner. Open lid, look at grounds, if they appear too coarse, chop for for a few more seconds. Unplug grinder/chopper, wrap cord up, turn grinder upside down. Slam sides of grinder 4-6 times so that all of the grounds fall out of the grinding area, into the grinder cover. Dump grinds into 20 dollar Mr Coffee 4 cup coffee maker. Take plastic spoon and make a little mountain out of the grounds. Hit On and wait 5-10 minutes for coffee to brew. Forget it on burner for between 30-75 minutes, hitting the on switch again after an hour, to keep hot plate on. Make coffee with half & half, 2 sugars and a tiny dollop of da Vinci french vanilla syrup. Drink coffee, wishing your office had a 100 dollar bunn like your wife does at home, because the Mr coffee takes too long to brew and burns the coffee a tad. Decide it's still better then any cup of coffee you ever had at a Starbucks or Dunn Brother's. Drink coffee, listening to Schiit Stack, longing for Saturday and Bunn brewed coffee. Saturday comes and you love your coffee, but you're sad because you don't have a Schiit stack at home..... Whew. talk about a whisky fueled rant of nothingness. No offence taken if this gets flagged..
