I don't know how that quote was attributed to you, Sal.

Nowadays I always use fresh coffee beans which I hand grind and make the most delicious coffee with.
Don't stop short Bocco, how are you brewing those fresh-roasted-ground-right-before-brewing beans?
I'm torn between using a French Press and a cone filters.

I prefer using filters, it's easier and healthier. Sometimes, if I have the time, I boil water and pour it into the filter myself.
This really gives the best taste as the water is boiling while it goes through the filter.

Right on! Although, I use water that is 15 or 20 seconds off of boil.

Yep, just off the boil for the magic temperature.
I French Press, no filters for me. Very coarse grind, four minutes in the water, then press.

So word has it, whatever that means, coffee fans - the fresh-roasted-ground-right-before-brewing shop that is a must visit is, Boot Koffiie, The Golden Coffee Box.
http://www.goldencoffeebox.nl/en/aboutus.html
Or so I heard, I'll no doubt include this shop on my travels.
