I have heard everywhere that burr ground coffee is so much better than blade ground that I decided to take a deep breath and get a burr grinder.  Actually it wasn’t that deep of a breath because I found it at Bed, Bath, and Beyond for a reasonable price.

I am sitting here this morning absolutely bleary eyed, hoping that the caffeine will soon jump start the gray matter.
Do you know that the baristas at our Starbucks don’t even know when they are closing? It seems very unfair to me..and then I wonder…is it an angle? I mean, are they hoping that by announcing closings that they will get people to rush to the store? Then, like an adolescent game playing girl they can “suddenly relent”….
“Because you our customers have requested it..we well leave these stores open…”
We’ll see.
