I'm with Moo here (as usual).

or

Start drinking the worst coffee you can find... this way what ever they have available where youre stationed will probably be an improvement. Its hard to go from the good stuff to the bad stuff.

Thanks for serving.

Not to threadjack, but I'm looking for a good supplier of roasted beans that will ship to my brother in Iraq.
I've added Uncle Beans and Killer Beans to the list.......

Any other good places to order mid to high end coffee that will ship to an APO?

Thanks,
Tim

Off to search I go.

I hope I am in the correct thread.I have a question. Is this a starter level burr grinder?

Will this grind the beans better and more evenly then the cheap one with a blade I have now? To step up my coffeeness (new word maybe?) should I even bother or do I need to spend lots of money on my grinder to taste a difference? I plan on brewing out of this when I get home.
