Notwithstanding IG's warning :D I am wiling to try any coffee. One of my caddies handed me a 1 kg packet of freshly roasted coffee beans grown by a planter for whom he is a caddy. The problem for me is that I have no "real" grinder. Putting the beans in a mixer/blender "dry grinder" attachment results in a powder of variable particle size distinctly unsuited for anything other than an inefficient gravity powered coffee filter. Eventually I got tired of this stuff and piled in more and more into the filter till I exhausted it. Incidentally the "Neapolitan" coffee maker was great until electric espresso makers became available. But it is slow and labor intesnsive. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neapolitan_flip_coffee_pot These were even better. Fast - and required less labor (except for cleaning) https://www.kingsofhagley.co.uk/images/ITAL12CUP_MAIN.jpg But this is all I ever use nowadays http://shopping.zeenews.com/v1/product_images/kcc07_large.jpg shiv
