The percolator didn't work out. The coffee wasn't horrible -- and certainly better than the drip pot -- but it tasted boiled.

I had better luck with my next experiment -- the French Press. Of course, this also necessitated the purchase of a grinder, but it was well worth it. The results have been phenomenal.

I'm starting to wonder if I'm getting addicted to buying coffee accoutrements. My latest purchase was this little baby, which foams up milk for home cappuccinos.

And now I'm eyeing espresso makers. I know I'm in trouble, because I've started thinking of ways to justify the $400 purchase price for one of the entry level ones:

"Sure that's a lot of money, but just think: in only 163 visits to Starbucks, it would pay for itself!"

It's a sickness. I do see that.

Update: And the beans! There's a whole world of ridiculously expensive coffee beans out there to try!
