We used to drink peet's but, honestly, for us they've starbucked themselves. I miss the days of going to the Peet's on North Shattuck in berkeley and getting a pound of freshly roasted beans. Now it's all
mass produced.
These days we go to nothing but local roasters for our beans. One such place is called 'Naked Coffee' and if you go to their roasting plant
you can buy coffee by the pound at wholesale. The car smells so good
when I come home.
You're really fancy. We just use a mr coffee we bought at costco. we do use paper filters though. we got away from using the metal mesh filter.
I will sometimes use a percolator if i want a single serving though.
Yes, we like cafe bustelo too. it's pretty strong.

Loved that Peets. I used to work around the corner from there on
Shattuck and Rose. That Walnut Square Peets (the first store!) was my morning stop.

I never bought a lot of locally roasted coffee to make at home, but we have a lot of coffee shops nearby that roast their own. I can count at least ten between me and Santa Cruz, about 15 miles away.
Percolated coffee, if you like it strong and hot, is pretty good. My
wife puts cream in her coffee, so it needs to start off piping hot.
