      I got the bulletproof XCT oil (it’s essentially really pure MCT oil, same in normal coconut oil) because it was massively on sale at Whole Foods a while ago. It dosnt make the coffee as “coconut-y,” so I dig it. I also use only a very little bit of the grass fed butter. I don’t drink it everyday, but it’s a nice change up small amounts and much healthier than a standard latte

        Gotcha.

        Yeah, I am definitely a fan of switching my coffee up. I was on a butter/coconut oil kick for awhile and now I've been back to cream and sugar for a minute, but will likely switch back again soon

        In consciously making an effort to eat better (via advice from my doctor and the snugness of my shirts), I have to say that dairy and sugar in my morning coffee is one thing I just can't compromise on  😃

            Don’t know what your budget is but I swear by my Baratza Virtuoso grinder. I do pour overs,french press,and Chemex coffee. My brother in-law is a fanatic for pulling the best espresso shots,so he has a high end Rancillo grinder. Don’t know if you need that level. Hope this helps.

              I use this. It makes exceptional coffee. It's a revelation. It uses the same basic principle as  massively expensive coffee machines.

                    @Matty123 - my folks have a Bodum burr grinder and it adjusts settings and does pretty well. They are about 1/4-1/6 of the Barazza Price and can even be found at TJMaxx

                          Krups also makes a really good burr grinder for around $50. Didn’t know what your budget was.

                              I might check those out myself. I usually use a Hario or Portex mini hand grinder unless I’m in a hurry. For those days I have an old bladed grinder which isnt all that great. My missus isnt excited about another $200 appliance so this might slip under the radar.

                                  I received a subscription to Grounds for Change for my birthday and have been impressed. Normally I buy fresh roasted beans locally, but my step mom knows of my love for good coffee and hooked me up.  GFC is doing a lot of things right in terms of agriculture, and I appreciate knowing farmers and the environment are taken care of whileI get my fix.

                                    Trader Joe's Bolivian Organic coffee and a Technivorm Moccamaster coffee maker while stirring the coffee in the dripper is the best restaurant quality coffee I make.

                                    Do i make sense?

                                      Yes,You make total sense. I’m guessing that there’s some way for you to interrupt/stop the brewing process,so that you can stir. I’ve heard nothing but great things about those machines. Definitely on my list of things to get.

                                        @piranha Just saw that you reside in Philadelphia. I mail order coffee on a regular basis from Old City Coffee in your home town. I think it’s up there with the best coffee I’ve ever had. Really fresh coffee.Check them out.

                                          I'm drinking coffee now but I'm slightly nauseous from some bad sushi yesterday.  How far is Cranford from Philadelphia?  Just drive down and get some!

                                            It’s 75 miles,but if I order 5 pounds they ship for free and give me a 6th pound free as well. Have you ever tried their coffee?
