Talking about that with coffee junkies is like trying to talk the most
divisive topics with opposing groups.

I grind just before brewing, collect brewers, and spent years doing my
own roasting, too, but K-cups and Maxwell House in a can are popular,
too.

Chacun à son goût is the way to go. Find a type of coffee you like,
find a prep method that makes you a cup you enjoy, then tell everyone
else to **** off.
