I'll sway too....
Like cooking... Ya gotta start with fresh....
Source a roaster, or roast your own green beans.... a local BBQ joint has started roasting in a side room.... Freshly roasted Sumatra and I even let them grind the bag for me and use a drip machine....'cause I broke my French press.
The result doesn't suck, but it's not like what I used to do either

.
And black .... Nuthin' else belongs in a good cup of coffee either
