6. Whatever's on sale...

Every so often Waldbaum's has the large bags of 8 O'Clock Columbian beans on sale, so I stock up. BJ's and Costco occasionally have Kenyan or some other good beans at a good price so I've got a bag or two for special occasions, or guests. But, I am currently working on a large can of Chock Full O'Nuts I got at a ridiculously low price somewhere.

For some reason I don't fully understand I own 3 French presses and I do use them once in a while, but I usually use the 12 cup drip pot. It's a Kenmore that's one of the few that gets the water hot enough to make decent coffee. If I'm in a hurry, I have a 1 cup drip gadget I can use.

Splenda, stevia, or saccharine for sweetness, and whatever just plain milk is in the fridge.
