Do you drink pre ground bargain coffee or are you like me and grind your own beans every morning. Also do you buy whatever is cheapest on the shelf at the local grogery or do you buy you fresh beans at StarBucks and grind them at home? My son says that I have turned making my morning coffee into a "ritual"!! Any other fanatics out there?

Your question drove me straight into the kitchen to prepare the pot for coffee. Like you, coffee is a beloved ritual for me. I enjoy the aroma of the freshly ground bean, the sounds the water makes as the first morning cup is brewing. Starbucks is my fav. I buy Gold Coast and Sumatra Decaf and combine them in equal parts for a very tasty brew. My new delight is to add a bit of Vanilla or Cinnamon Dolce syrup to my coffee. I look forward to it each day for not only it's rich taste, but for the community of friends I've found gathered around a nice hot cup of coffee. Starbucks is a great gathering place. I think it's nice to have something so soothing in today's stressful world. Happy sipping!

Well, I love good coffee but especially in the mornings I need it faster than the time it would take to grind. But I live in East Africa where I can always get the finest Ethiopian coffee from Harar region for relatively cheap, so I don't feel I'm missing out too much by not grinding fresh daily.

I buy the beans. Starbucks is way over priced. It's 5:30 am here and coffee sounds like a splendid idea.

I really like Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf; they have some pretty good coffees. Guatemalan Antigua or Sumatran Mandheling are some of my favs. You should try using a french press too. I thought Will Ferrell's coffee addiction in "Kicking and Screaming was pretty funny!"

I can be serious about coffee: strong dark beans kept in a sealed container in the bottom of the fridge, and espresso'd fresh ground to drink black.

I used to grind premium coffee beans and brew it every morning, but I found something much more nutritious, fresh veggie/fruit juice that I make with my juice extractor and blender.
In addition, the veggie-fruit juice doesn't give me bad breath, dehydrate me or cause my back to ache like the coffee did.

I grind my own and I have way better coffe than Starbucks. For an amazing dark, strong brew try Zabar's coffee.

A clean machine and filtered water are more important to me than pre ground or fresh ground. Maxwell house columbian supreme is as fancy as I go. Starbucks is overrated and overpriced

Yes I grind my own every morning and drink it out of my Yahoo mug.

Well I don't go through all that but if that is what you enjoy I don't think threes anything wrong with it.
I buy Pre- ground mostly Folgers or Maxwell house,I don't like instant.
