   We used to drink peet's but, honestly, for us they've starbucked themselves. I   
   miss the days of going to the Peet's on North Shattuck in berkeley and getting   
   a pound of freshly roasted beans. Now it's all mass produced.   
      
   These days we go to nothing but local roasters for our beans. One such place is   
   called 'Naked Coffee' and if you go to their roasting plant you can buy coffee   
   by the pound at wholesale. The car smells so good when I come home.

   You're really fancy. We just use a mr coffee we bought at costco. we do use   
   paper filters though. we got away from using the metal mesh filter.

   I will sometimes use a percolator if i want a single serving though. Yes, we   
   like cafe bustelo too. it's pretty strong.
