It makes me so happy to see a few others that also do the black in a cup thing! I do love my Pumpkin Spice Lattes at Christmas time, but nothing beats a good, strong cup of black!
And in case any of you were wondering what the VERY VERY VERY best coffee-brewing system in the world is, I will enlighten you:
COLD BREW
Dump some grounds and some room-temp water together, let it sit overnight, run the soaked grounds through a filter and BAM! you've got the smoothest (less than half the acid of regularly brewed coffe), richest espresso syrup you could ever imagine! Just add however much hot/cold water, milk, whatever you like to a little of the syrup and you're good to go. I bought the Toddy filter system for $35 (http://www.toddycafe.com/index.php) 'cause it was relatively cheap and seemed easier than a DIY method, but you could do the same thing with a couple of big jars and a durable filter and not have to buy the product.
Seriously, you're on this forum 'cause you gave barefoot a shot and loved it. You should give this a shot. It's THAT GOOD.
