You have taken coffee to the next level, by grinding the whole beans just before making it! At the apartment, my suitemate and I don't joke around with coffee. We buy the premium stuff. We've been trying slightly different blends and brands each time the coffee container runs out. When I go to Maryland for the summer, I will have to buy a coffee machine. OH, and there is an IKEA store near where I will be so I will finally get to go to one here in America! Hooray. Wow your new coffee machine sounds amazing.

Your filter coffee machine in the lounge won't be forgotten (especially not in comparison to the one in my apartment). I wrote that sentence as a sort of mass generalization, which really isn't fair to a continent so rich and diverse like Europe. In all the places we went to, in all the cafes, all the coffee we got was based on the espresso. I'd look for filter coffee (at a non-starbucks store) but never saw it until we were in Munich. So that comment was mostly out of a minor minor minor annoyance. :) Don't get me wrong, the coffee was almost always good, it's just that it couldn't replace the kind that you grew up with, you know?
