orange peels and coffee cups

Having an orange with a cup of coffee is delicious and natural. The citrus tang melds with the bad coffee's bitterness. And the touch of sweetness in an orange lingers for just a second to trick you a little bit into thinking you're not drinking free office coffee but a crafted americano from an espresso machine.

mmmm.... coffee hijinks.

I should be getting my own grinder back soon. I may dump it immediately though and get a burr grinder. For science purposes only, of course. I need to make sure its a good buy before I get one for my dad. My dad, a man who I've been meaning to but a coffee pot and grinder for over a year now. I'll get it done eventually, probably.

But then, for science, I can see if it is a better brew. After that I'll start experimenting with water types and see if that matters. I've been told you get the biggest jumps by using a burr grinder and home roasting. I'm hesitant to try the roasting though as I'm terrifyingly poor handling fire. I'm casual with it which means I light things on fire I don't mean to. Like foam couches.
