I like bold but not bitter coffee, too. That's why I'm a Chock Full
o'Nuts NY Roast fan. It's got tons of flavor but it's not bitter. I
am very low tech when it comes to coffee. I have a 4 cup Mr Coffee
machine with a timer. I fill my travel mug with room for milk, which I
drink in the car while commuting. The rest of the pot is what I drink
at home while I'm getting ready. If I used a Keurig machine, I'd have
to run the machine 2 or 3 times to get the same qty of coffee.
