I like a dark roast every so often, but not for copious consumption of coffee. Copious consumption is what I'll need in about five hours. Jason has good thoughts, especially a medium roast.

The french press is the best way to make coffee in small batches. If you want to skip the grinder, you can get course ground coffee, but the flavor of coffee will be somewhat sacrificed (since it stays fresher, longer, the longer it's in whole bean form). Though if you buy it from a place that grinds it for you, you can avoid that somewhat. You can also skip the electric kettle, since at work, you probably have a hot water source on the coffee maker. --Jason (I suggest a medium roast) I broke my wife’s $10-15/week starbucks habit with this combination:

Then add some liquid Coffeemate creamer (much better than powdered)... the mocha almond fudge is delightful, or seasonals like gingerbread, peppermint, etc. Or, if you want to make the most of your poison-eliminating plan (aspartame in Pepsi), use chocolate milk or chocolate Silk soymilk for richer, nutty taste instead of Creamer. There ya go. Now I'm craving the above concoction ..... Good Luck. Allie Chris,
