Storing coffee | Unclutterer.

Some good information in there. I haven’t made coffee at home in a fair while, since it’s a pain in the ass to clean up the French press, and my hand grinder takes forever, but I might take it up again if I could make it convenient and easy.

CoRD seems to work really well. Certainly better than the official MS client for OS X!

This has been driving me CRAZY lately. The solution as suggested by Golden Shoes and Steven Blunk works as advertised. Fan-fucking-tastic!
