Now THAT'S A Cup Of Coffee!

Published on August 19, 2007 By MasonM In Misc

As I mentioned in another article, Elie (MM) sent me some of his home roasted coffee beans as a house warming gift. Yesterday I purchased a new coffee grinder and this this morning I put it to use.

I have to say that our good friend Elie is a master coffee bean roaster. This is without question the best cup of coffee I have had the pleasure of drinking in a good many years. I drink a lot of coffee while out on the road, sometimes it's good, sometimes it would be better used as a drain cleaner. I had forgotten how much better freshly ground coffee can be over the pre-ground and packaged stuff.

My thanks again to Elie, this is truly a treat.

I'm jealous, ours still hasn't arrived. (~curses mailman, bastard probably stole it.)

Geez, you could be right. It really should have arrived by now. Sorry you're missing out, it really is quite good.

I love the smell of freshly ground coffee and freshly brewed coffee from that freshly ground coffee, but I've just never been a big coffee drinker. Mocha's, Caramel Macchiato and such definitely. Caramel Frappuccino and other blended drinks at Starbucks definitely. Coffee straight up (or heavy with lots of sugar as I typically drink it) every now and then, but more frequently hot tea.

But, I am jealous of the smell and aroma that I'm sure you have there. Good coffee smells are one of the smells that my screwed up nasal system actually lets through and I do enjoy them.

yeah, few things can compare to the aroma of fresh coffee.

I've never been fond of those blended things and prefer straight coffee. Even a lot of the truckstops are starting to serve the blended things, cappucino (sp?) and crap. I just want a cup of joe.

That could make me take to drink again - coffee that is. I do love a GOOD cup of coffee, but since that is not easy to find, it was easy to give it up.

Enjoy it!

True, a lot of places serve crappy coffee. I've never understood the attraction of Starbucks as their stuff is horrible.

geeze I hope by now it has arrived sabrina.

I am glad you are enjoying your coffee Mason, I buy the beans green, they are much cheaper that way and then roast them at home, nothing beats a fresh roasted, fresh ground cup of coffee.

I concur that MM's coffee is hands down the best coffee I've had in a very, very long time ( and possibly ever).

Now we see the real plan... give away a few pounds for marketing your coffee bean roasters.
