manual drip coffeemaker + whole-bean dark-roast Diesel Fuel = satisfied Homer Simpson noise

Current math: (Two Tsp of beans & two cups of Brita'd water) for every mugful. All the beans are ground for exactly 15 seconds in my regular old electric grinder.

Now I need to buy a portable thermos thingy so I can make a ton of this yummy stuff and take it to work with me, and then maybe not give $5 to Starbucks every damn day.

Do you have one? I have never heard of them before, and a quick google suggests that good ones start at $100. AB is of the opinion that a blade grinder is just fine, and my recent experience has been good enough that I'm not looking to upgrade so quickly.

Froogle suggests that many are in the $20 to $50 range.
