    I can't make good coffee at home!!

    Just bring the water to a boil and then turn if off and let it stop for a few seconds then pour it into your French press. Also grind fairly course for a french press. If you grind to fine you will over extract and get bitter. Maybe your roaster could grind them for you for french press.

    Protein Powder

    I have not been using it long enough yet but was told to get plenty of protein so you do not burn up your muscle along with fat when working out a lot. I understand it also keeps you full feeling longer. Then I read or heard something about not taking more than 25g's at a time as your body...

    Protein Powder

    As much as I like flavored powders, I use Optimum Nutrition's Any Whey. It does not have any flavor to speak of and can be used with fruit in shakes or used in oatmeal or even soup. I put a scoop in my coffee and the taste was hardly noticable.
