Yeah, yeah, yeah.....

I have coffee shipped to NJ from the best roaster in the world: M.E. Swing's of Alexandria, VA. We've had it shipped for 14 years.

I grind it every night just before bed and set it for my wife, the early riser. Weekdays, 12 cups, weekends, 14 cups. Grind to near powder, shake the filter so the coffee is level, stir or let sit to blend the flavor evenly...

We alternate between Guatemalan, Ethiopian (Yergacheffe), Columbian, Kenyan, French Breakfast and a house blend they call Mesco ("M.E.Swing& CO"--get it?).

That doesn't keep me from buying the occasional cup of Dunkin'--and ENJOYING it!

And good diner coffee is still good diner coffee (when it's good).
