Question: I just bought a good bean grinder that allows me to select the the coarseness. Do I need to also buy a pour through, or will I get the same results by using my freshly ground bean and my Kuerig adapter for fresh ground coffee?
I tend to drink espresso so I don't own a pour over, however I HATE Keurig coffee. If I want regular coffee I'd rather use my drip coffee maker, so my guess would be a pour over or even a french press would give better results than the Keurig. However a pour over or french press are cheap so just try it and see how you like it.

As for coffee I have been trying various espresso blends from peets. I like the Espresso Forte, but I think I like the Garuda even more. I have tried some other "fancy" brands that honestly just taste horrible to me. Have some of their Italian Blend coming in soon to try that. I get the whole beans, but they will grind it to your liking also.
