I have to drink coffee every morning, I wake up, take a piss, then hit the Kuereg, because it is faster, and I can make it stronger then regular coffee grounds through the Mr Coffee maker. My wife, and my dog know not to bother me until I get a double cup in. I like the Victor Allen French roast that you can buy at Menards, or Fleet Farm, or Farm and Fleet. I usually use 4 pods per morning, 2 pods in a cup. My first cup is 2 small into a cup, extra strong, and gives me a jolt to deal with the wife, and dog after waking up. Then I do a medium, and a small for my second cup. That seems to get me through the morning, I use to drink coffee throughout the day, but my old man prostate, and bladder goes into over time when drinking coffee, so I limit it now to just mornings.
I have done the french press, which makes damn good coffee, but to high maintenance for early morning.
