When my wife and I first got together we got ground Yuban. It wasn’t terrible. But still had that slight ash tray flavor. Like hospital coffee. And I don’t know why but I decided one day to get a grinder and some whole bean coffee. We’ve since upgraded our grinder to one that actually works but our coffee is freshly ground each morning and it has changed our entire mornings! No more tree bits, cardboard, bug particles or animal poops. Just coffee and filtered spring water. So much better.
I made a coffee Mead with cold brew, Meadowfoam and bocheted some buckwheat honey and added some Normal buckwheat and used rum chips in secondary. It just hit a year and it's great. Coffee is really awesome!
I agree, especially with number 5! I got an espresso machine for Christmas, and it totally gave me a whole new process to perfect. It is a pretty deep rabbit hole in itself. I came from buying pre-ground coffee, to grinding whole beans for the drip machine, then later I got a burr grinder and a French press. Now it is espresso and lattes…
Well… Yeah‼️

Bit jealous! I do not own an espresso machine anymore 🥲
