Stardate 20010713.1048 (On Screen): So there I was, in a store full of pots and pans, and sitting on the shelf was a brand new coffee maker which contained its own grinder. How could any techno-toy freak resist? There's a hopper in the top and you shovel whole beans into it, load it with water and turn it on. The grinder crunches the coffee which falls into the filter, and the hot water sluices through the grinder to remove any excess grounds or powder before going to the filter. Since the coffee is ground about ten seconds before the first hot water hits it, it's just about as fresh as it can possibly be.
I also then purchased about four different bags of decaf (sigh) beans of various kinds, and one of them was Don Francisco's Decaf Regular 100% Columbian Whole Bean Coffee. I am now sitting here having an amazing experience: I am drinking a cup of coffee which tastes the way that ground coffee smells. (It is very good.) (discuss)
