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

In fact, every singe blend of French Roast I've ever had =
Same, for the most part, with Italian roast. Too dark and burnt.
My preferences run with lighter to medium roast Columbian, Blue Mountain, Kona, and Sumatran (light, not dark) roasts.

You enjoy yours, I enjoy mine, and it seems at least a few other folks enjoy mine as well.

Along the same lines, I prefer my steaks medium rare, and my wife likes hers well done. Or, charred to a crisp. Beyond acceptable from a culinary perspective.
Kinda like French roast. LOL

DH was pretty happy when I showed him that steaks don't have to be grey on the outside and brown in the middle. His parents are infamous for their 'cooking'.

I had more control with a popcorn popper, but the small size only allows me to roast 30g-50g per batch. 10-15min per batch.
