When I bought the can, I wasn't sure exactly what chicory was, so I looked it up..... Yeah, that stuff grows wild just about everywhere. I went outside and found it growing under my deck!

Drank the Guatemalan I recently roasted. This roast went well into second crack, and it tastes delicious. Rich flavor.
Just got this via the electronic mail:
Yes, Stirling Soap Company now sells coffee! Woah!

There's nothing magical about an Aeropress that will make a mediocre bean transmogrify into a great cup of coffee. It is an excellent simple machine that I often use when I want a single cup made. Otherwise, I use a french press of moka pot for coffee for my wife and I.
I use one at work because I just need one cup and the Keurig sucks.
Pretty much what the other the others said. Makes a great single cup when paired with good beans. I'll add that cleanup is pretty simple as well. I have 1 at work that I use for single cups. Used it exclusively for a good while.
I love mine. I find I get better results when using a darker roast bean.

Yes, my current setup is a Keurig, and the coffee it makes us stale from the start. I don't like the grit with a traditional french press. So, I'm very interested in the Aeropress. I'm the only coffee drinker in my household, so the one cup at a time setup is ideal. I just need the Aeropress, a hand operated burr grinder, and a good kettle. That's my current plan. Thanks for the reply!

I like dark roast too. I think I'll be getting one.

My scale of production is definitely one cup at a time. My current system is a Keurig, and it makes a lousy cup of coffee.

Then the Aeropress is an excellent choice. You have a choice between paper filters and a metal ones (various hole sizes). I have only used the paper ones so far (rinse/wet them before using) but plan on grabbing a metal one when these are done.

Good ole Costco Sumatran whole bean from the French Press today. Should have made more for the road.

Wifey accidentally banged a mug into the top of our Bodum's carafe 
while I was on this evening's Old Guy Zoom-a-zoom-zoom call (That'll teach me to let her wash dishes! 
), so I'll be hunting for a replacement tomorrow on Cyber Monday. We've had a few various ones over the years, but both prefer the durability (and price!) of the Bodum Chambord's less expensive cousin, the Brazil. Same guts as the Chambord, just a cheaper plastic casing/handle/frame rather being metal.
