Or if you use a $15 drip pot and then lace it with cream and sugar, I don't think anyone would tell the difference between good fresh roasted beans from year old crap discount grocery store beans, or whether it was ground 5 minutes ago, or 5 months.
Really? I use a $15 pot & I sometimes _lace_ my brew with cream so I guess I couldn't tell $h1t from shinola. Guess I ought to just buy whatever is on sale at Wal-Mart, huh?
