I'm not loaded, but I screw with coffee just enough to not have to drink instant. Besides the fact that instant (mostly nescafe) doesn't taste very good to me, it makes me poop liquid. Consistently. I don't know what it is - because coffee makes us poop anyway - but nescafe eliminates a lot of solids in my stool.
I have a pretty basic set up - cheap scales so I know how many beans I'm grinding, a Mr Coffee, and a Krups electric burr grinder. The results are Pretty Good To Me(TM) and my partner - who is not crazy about coffee, but likes what I can make for her.
When I want to get fancy I have a pourover that is handy for making iced coffee or some better extracted coffee than the Mr Coffee can handle.
I compare it to baking. We can easily buy a tray of Mr Kiplings or jam doughnuts from Asda, but we can also if we want to, get some flour and sugar and all that crazy baking stuff and have a crack at it ourselves. Some people go so far as to do that exclusively.
