Goodbye Keurig...I went to the dark side and now grind coffee beans

I was out of town for a month and just couldn't get past the fact that you cannot clean the internal reservoir of a Keurig. Being the germaphobe that I am and allergic to mold..and ick...I couldn't get myself to use it again after it had been unplugged for so long 
I never really drank coffee when I drove a school bus (a cappuccino here or there doesn't count) in my book.
The Keurig made it simple, quick and clean.. no fuss no muss.
I had a reg coffee pot in the cupboard for when relatives came to town but I preferred my weak, sweet coffee pods.
Even some of the medications I have to take can cause acid re-flux issues so weaker coffee and not being dependent on it made sense... *also prone to migraines anyway.
Well, I spent 3 weeks with my brother and my sister stayed over most nights..and both drink coffee religiously..so yes, there I was drinking fresh ground organic coffee beans.. so it was fairly strong.
I know that if I don't wean off it slowly ..weaker and weaker I'll have one heck of a headache..so I gave in to the dark side and bought a bean grinder and organic beans
smh

As I recall (and I could be wrong about this), but I think that they banned importation of other corporate coffees as well. Which, let's be honest here, when you live where some of the best coffee in the entire world is grown, why would you want that inferior shit anyway?
You really shouldn't have.
The box freaked me out.

#2. She'd still ban me in a farking heartbeat. Don't doubt this.
#3. She loves her coffee almost as much as I love mine. We share this, as well as a love of baking.
