Freshly ground coffee every time

My friend kept raving about this crazy vacuum coffee maker he has so I got enticed. So we picked up this coffee maker after reading some quick reviews at Amazon:

I know it’s a “lousy” drip coffee maker but, it’s most attractive feature is the fresh grind and it was the cheapest one with it. You can load in whole beans and it will grind them for you before it brews the pot! You can even program it to make your coffee before you get up in the morning. So after we bought this, we went straight to Birmingham to find some beans. We went into 3 coffee shops and ended up with 2 packs of beans to christen our new machine. Now we can enjoy Starbucks (Colombia Nariño Supremo) at home along with a decaf hazelnut from the local Java Hutt.

The first brews are excellent! Let’s hope this machine can dampen the urge to go for a separate better grinder and brewer. :jittery:
