I have been drinking ground bean coffee in a French Press for a long time. I'm not gonna say I am a coffee snob, but I know good coffee when I taste it. My Coffee of the Month subscription with Training Grounds has been a revelation! This has been the best coffee I have ever had - delivered to my home, monthly. Highly recommended! Oh - and I purchased a great custom cup (photo)... but I think they are sold out on those now...
