Â* You're just now discovering the awesome flavor of fresh ground ? My
grinder is a B&D burr mill type , gotta be 12-15 years old . For a very
smooth coffee with a really deep rich flavor try eight o'clock brand
Columbian Peaks mixed 50/50 with their Dark Italian Espresso . I make it
strong and this blend is never bitter . I use a Mr C 5 cup ADCM with the
permanent filter , it makes exactly 2 large cups plus a little left over
for the dog - his is more milk than coffee , I usually pour my first cup
extra full and just give him a little . I see your sig says C.N. , did
Missery legalize medicinal pot ? Or are you working with CBD oils and
similar ?
