No. You must sip with your left hand; pinky up. Right hand sipping is completely verboten.

As DK says, you are a low information coffee brewer. Your coffee machine should be between 200 and 205 deg f brewing temp. Any temp too high or too
low is creating bad coffee. The drip pattern and contact time matter too. If you like, keep on buying the cheap mr coffe machine at Costco. Or try

Burr Grinders
I like oily dark roasted beans for my French press or single cup stainless strainer.
My research a few years ago suggested that burr grinders are more likely to clog up with oily beans.
Any experienced views out there?

I own a number of mid-priced burr grinders (Rocky, Barista, Baratza). Burr is the best bet for grind.
I don't like oily beans but if I did, I'd clean the burr's regularly. Maybe twice a month. Couple times a year, I put 2-3 ounces of rice through
the grinder. That cleans it well.

At the Capistrano Costco last month they had Peet's (Major Dickason's Blend)--2 lbs for 12.99, whole beans. Bought extra so now back in TX sipping
on some good brew. Yum.

(just an FYI) ... coffee is a naturally occuring pesticide. Real nasty as it sits on the plant (although now they have to additionally spray these
days, as some critters have built up resistance)
It's actually a seed, not a bean (marketing)
By the time it's 'ready' for human consumption, it's a neurotoxin. The reason you get a bump is b/c your body recognises said toxin, and hence sets
about purging it from the system asap. The first step in this process is to give the adrenal glands a lil' kick-in-the-butt, to get things pumping!
Long term coffee use just thrashes the adrenal glands.
(I might use it twice a yr (ish) , if driving at night etc)
Again, just FYI. Not hatin'

Coffee Trivia
Yes, a seed. It is actually the seeds of a cherry-like fruit. Coffee trees produce berries, called coffee cherries. These fruits are first green
before turning red, and each fruit usually contains two beans. The coffee cherries turn bright red when they are ripe and ready to pick.
Here's another thread about this treat..coffee...( the second most-traded commodity in the world. You know the first....crude oil.)

p.s. Trying some pretty good Kona beans this week with a French press.

All you yahoos ought to read this. It is exactly what I was saying. Whether it was Keurig, Dyson, Bose, or even Apple, These companies have a
marketing strategy that is basically, if we charge alot more money, people with think our stuff is better.

Not to dis anyone's Keurig or other fake coffee machine but there is really only one official way of making the real stuff...of course this is
scientifically backed by nutty research.....
