Enjoying a cup of tea, Earl Grey, while I watching American football.
Wait...wait...forget those scoops displayed above.
I have a much better one that I'm sure all will love...

You laugh now but I have a black plastic scoop that came in a flavored drink mix from the late 1990s that I still use today. It's 3 tbsp worth of spoon and I love it. Fantastic to get just the right amount of beans in. I call it my "magical scoop" because once I wash it after using it through many orders/purchases of beans, it doesn't reek of coffee like any other plastic product. It's remarkable.
I had a lovely light breakfast of muesli and lunch was roasted chicken. Lamb tonight. I take my coffee much later after eating. I find it helps with easing any digestion issues that might ensue if I had my coffee soon after.
[doublepost=1474248399][/doublepost]@SandboxGeneral The reason your beans are late is because of all the iPhone 7 kerfuffle!
I use a wide brimmed ceramic or stonewear coffee cup that's been heated up under water and dried. It allows you to engulf your nose into it and take in the heavenly aromatics of the beans.

I wish I could say that was the case, however the USPS regularly screws up deliveries to me, just as recently as this weekend on an order from Amazon in which I caught the carrier lying to his supervisor too.
Whether Keurig and K-cups are looked upon kindly by others (myself included) is of no importance if it pleases you.
As I have suggested often before...if you like it, that's all that matters.

Ahhhh.... 17.3 grams of pure bliss has been consumed. Sorry no pictures this time as I was too eager to enjoy it.

So glad that you are enjoying the Atomic Roasters offerings.
The do seem to have a really talented bean blender.
I'm going to have to try them out. They take a while to ship here, though. The day started dry, warm and sunny when I left for work. It's now balmy, cloudy and sunny, and drizzled off and on. Disgusting. Contemplating making 6 cups of FP and pouring it into an insulated ceramic serving jug with lid and enjoying it outside while reading a book or to have a couple cappuccinos. I don't fancy cleaning up. Decisions... Or I could wait a short while and make a FP batch for missus, MIL and myself with the lovely Bodum Columbia that rarely sees action.
Three delightful espressos have helped me greet the day.
One - the first - in the ding room of the hotel, followed by a further two in a nice café in old centre of the town (which is where our hotel is situated, too).

Just finished my afternoon cup of espresso and used my extra fancy Japanese cup and saucer too.
As a counterpoint to @SandboxGeneral here's my new coffee cup

And as a counterpoint to both @SandboxGeneral and @D.T., here is a cup I ordered and am awaiting shipping.
It's not elegant Japanese, it's not Lard Lad and Homer, and it's not orangey shmorangey...

Hahaha, thanks, it's VERY BIG AND HEAVY (I measured it at 24oz ...)
That's very cool, love the handle-less design.
Looks like a toilet.
Thanks so much for your comment...you can always be counted on for an aesthetically tasteful assessment.

Matching sugar container?

Such lovely people we have here.

It's done out of love.
