I've made that for stocking stuffers for Christmas, and I'm told it's not horrible, but... it smells pretty good, but I just can't bring myself to drink instant coffee.
I'm not a fan of Dunkin' Donuts coffee, it's just a little too watery for me. I like my coffee super strong. (the kind where you could possibly stand a spoon up in it)
I have two different coffee makers that I use, and each has a different purpose, my every day coffee maker, grinds the beans every day, and makes me a pot of strong coffee, that's on a timer. The other coffee pot I have is a French Press, that's more for late day coffee, when I'm not in the mood to fuss with the coffee maker.
Fresh ground beans only, ground really fine, and never freeze the whole beans. Just buy smaller quantities so they stay fresh.
I really don't have a preference as to which beans I really like, I do like Costa Rican, and the Jamacian Blue, Sumatra is probably one of my favorites because of it's robustness. (And lately, it's Fair Trade coffee only)
