And I have a burr grinder, which I adore.
Dishes are done and the coffee is seeping. I had one also ... it was loud and electric. I spend a year looking for a hand crank puppy. Every few months I do a little research. Finally picked up a Zassenhaus. Does a great job of grinding, from French Press to espresso, it does it all. Every now and then I think about getting a coffee plant ... I guess they're a shrub.

Hand grinder. Hard core. Is it the kind with the little drawer or this kind?

My boyfriend makes Turkish coffee (well, his father is Slovenian so to him, it's "Balkan" coffee) and used to use the above type hand grinder every night. That thing took forever. Now he uses an electric burr grinder for every day and leaves the hand grinding for special occasions or power outages.

LOL ... we have maybe 16 different tomatoes, spinaches, lettuces, kales, arugula, cabbage, berries (straw, blue, black, rasp), peppers (tons), cucumbers, artichoke, squashes, melons, grapes (Thompson, Ruby, Chardonnay, Zin, Cab, Pinot Noir), apples, avocados, oranges (Naval, Mandarin, Valencia), Lemon (Meyers), Lime (Mexican), Pomegranate, Persimmon, et al.

Ever since I read that coffee book, I've wanted to buy green beans and roast them myself.

Sounds heavenly! And totally impossible for me to ever do on my own.

Yep, similar.
