Oh, THAT'S what it's supposed to taste like!

I make a damned good cup of coffee.  :)

Ok, so it's probably more due to the coffee itself, but I have to say there's quite a difference between what I've had from coffeeshops and what I made last night and this morning.

We bought a coffeemaker this weekend (thanks, Mom!), as well as a grinder, and I finally made my first pot of coffee ever last night.

The pot has a built in charcoal water filter, so the water is doubly filtered, and we bought some organic skim milk for my low-fat needs.  ;)  Last night I tried dark roast Sumatran beans, fresh ground, at about a tablespoon per cup.  Ended up with some extra ground beans that I kept in the freezer until this morning and brewed to bring to work.  As an added bonus, I put in a dollop of sugar-free toffee syrup.  Totally yum.

Next stop, a thermos so that I can bring more into work and keep it hot.
