It's really not such a PIA. We (roomie and I) roast about 3 or 4 days worth at a time. Keep it in an air-proof container. The French Press (in the post "we aren't going to war in Iraq" days, perhaps it should be called a "Freedom Press"? <LOL>) is only for the weekends, when time is not at a premium. Weekdays, it's a Melitta cone coffee maker. For single cups, we have a little Melitta cone that sits on the cup. Since you have to wait for the water to boil for instant anyway, it really only takes about 90 seconds longer to have "real" coffee. Mind you, in a pinch, instant beats no caffiene.
