I drink it just black sometimes but very rare that I drink coffee cause I am so sensitive to caffeine that little bit will act like some super potent crack/cocaine to me and I be ultra focused and super jittery. I'll be like that squirrel on over the hedge movie.

Once you learn to control the effects the caffeine becomes the best energy stimulant that is still quite safe. I once wanted to stop drinking coffee but I still appreciate it and need it for the longer days.

Besides, the French press makes coffee taste even better.

I've been pleased with my Bonavita maker:  http://www.amazon.com/Bonavita-BV1800TH-Coffee-Thermal-Carafe/dp/B005YQZNO8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1425483957&sr=8-1&keywords=bonavita

It's basically an affordable Technivorm knock-off.

Not quite as good as my French Press, but it gets the job done.

I've made up my mind to try a cup of Kopi Luwak before the end of the month. I'm not normally into Indonesian beans, however. They usually come off as too balmy and overly complex for my tastes. I doubt a bit of coon cat dung will help things by an appreciable amount.

Do report back!  I had some ground that I believe was a blend and it was just super mild.  Can't cross it off my list until I have the whole beans and possibly the stuff myself that I have to roast. LOL.

Turned out that I never found the time to go and try it. Soon, though!

I did just buy some Elida Estate beans; they're of the Catuai varietal from the Boquete region in Panama and dry-processed.

Very cool flavors, full of fruit overtones like grapes and strawberries that combined into a light red wine-esque feel to the body, but not really acidic either, and no grassy/herbal taste (which I personally dislike).

Not cheap though for a "non-exotic" crop --- half a pound was $20.
