One luxury I afford myself is a pot of freshly ground coffee every morning. I’ll have a cup or two while I check my systems, and then pour one for the road. That’s it I’m done.

I’ve been known to have four or five different types of beans on hand, and I mix ‘em in search of the “perfect cup”. I also document this…my personal blend…so when I find it, I’ll be able to reproduce it. …Still searching…

There is one problem with this custom, and it’s the noise.

Electric coffee bean grinders are so loud; they’ll make the squirrels break for cover.

No one should have to wake up to a chainsaw in the kitchen!!!

It’s very irritating, but worth it.

I guess I could have a V-8.
