(compeltely railroading this important thread) - 200lbs of grinds a day is a lot, and not an easy lift. How do you transport them, and tell me about your compost approach. I'm interested!

But to stay on topic... I never drank coffee until I moved in with an old friend who'd grown up in Lebanon. He showed me the True Way of Arabian Coffee. He put a couple of spoons of coffee and two more of sugar into a pot with water and brought it to a boil, then decanted the liquor into cups. I tried it at home. Two weeks later I went to the doctor because I'd developed a nervous tic in one eye that I couldn't stop! I've been decafeinated for a year and five months now, but once or twice a year enjoy a caffeinated capuccino on a Saturday morning (not wanting to link caffeine to work). I actually find I have more energy at the end of the day witout caffeine.
