Your favorite coffee?

Natashaa1991

So what is your favorite type of coffee?
And not from Starbucks, the one that you make at home? I know that there is this nespresso coffee machine but it's kinda expensive. I also used to drink granulated nescafe but the regular one is kinda gross, tastes like carton
Does anyone have any suggestions for a GOOD coffee that doesn't require buying espresso machine?

I have a keurig but it's still basically just a coffee maker, but my favorite is van hautte's french vanilla coffee. I'm sure I'd like most french vanilla flavored coffees.

We have a coffee delivery service and an unlimited coffee budget in my office. My favorite by far is labeled as a Premium Seattle Dark Roast. The coffee sales guy sold me on it and says its higher grade than the top Starbucks shiet. I wasn't a coffee drinker until this year but now I drink half of the pot (~4 cups) every morning myself haha

I also have a Keurig and love it! My favorite by far (say what you will) is Starbucks Verona (dark) roast.. Personally, I don't care for the flavored coffees.

Volcanic Red organic Peruvian. It's a balanced medium roast. I drink my coffee black. I buy whole beans at the local Sprouts grocery store and grind it as needed.

Peerless Organic Peruvian is good too:

I use a small coffee grinder and then I make the coffee with a drip filter that sits on top of the cup. I have this coffeemaker: http://www.amazon.com/Melitta-Ready-Single-Coffee-Brewer/dp/B0014CVEH6
But I'm thinking of switching to a porcelain version of the same thing.

Starbucks Verona. To me, it has a hint of a dark chocolate sort of taste. (And yes, I do make it at home.)

The best coffee makers are French Presses. You can pick one up for less than $20.

Starbucks Sumatra Blend. Dark roast. I drink it black.

Dark roast. My local bakery has a great one. Just drink it the way nature intended, black with no sweetener.

For me it's pretty simple.

I have an el-cheapo Mr. Coffee drip maker at the office (4-cups).

The "secret" is that I have a good coffee grinder (blade type) and I have found that ShopRite (local supermarket) Whole Bean coffee is not too shabby. I grind beans every morning for coffee and fresh ground coffee I find is vastly superior to instant or the stuff in a big can.

That said, Starbucks Via instant coffee is pretty stupendous. For instant joe, it rocks. :drinker:

I have a Keurig and a Tassimo and love them both! The K cups and T discs are fun to experiment with when you're wanting to try different flavors.
For regular brewed coffee, my local grocery store has beans we can ground ourselves and I LOVE the Hawaiian grog. It's Kona mixed with coconut flakes. LOVE!!

I like good old fashion Folgers with french vanilla cream.

Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville Coffee is awesome!

SFbarmaid

Jacob's Wonderbar (dark) from Phil'z (a SF local) BEST COFFEE EVER. http://www.philzcoffee.com/

Blue Bottle's Sidamo Watadara is also excellent.

or.. for a med roast (more caffiene) I like Kirkland (from costco) Columbian or Guatamalan @ $17 for 3 lbs the price is right.

IMO starbucks blows. But, I'm a bit of a coffee snob

I looooooove my Nespresso. I would be so sad if something happened to it.

I'm really boring as well, I have a Keurig and Green Mountain Breakfast blend is my fav! I also like Caramel Drizzle though :-)

chocolate silk by foldgers, or hazelnut cream

I'm a sucker for Seattle's Best. I like their "level 2" currently, which is a light-medium roast, and just use my regular old $10 drip coffeepot. :laugh: I wish I could make a pumpkin spice flavored coffee at home though.

black and strong!!!

I get mine from Gevalia 5x a year. 2lbs from small, family owned plantations in different countries.

Besides that it's Starbuck's Breakfast Blend. Always fresh ground...

buy a FrenchPress. Trust me it is amazing and the best way to brew coffee. They usually run anywhere starting at 24$ - 40$ depending what size you purchase. I have a Boudin press, it is the medium size and I got it for about 30$. One thing to note when selecting the right size - for instance the one I have says it brews 8 cups of coffee however this must mean european cups because in AMERICAN cups what that really means is about 3-4 MUGS of coffee Not those small like prissy teacup coffee size. (No offense meant to the euros out there) Because french pressing is the best and one of the most purist way of brewing coffee I've learned to love to drink it black no cream and maybe just a bit of splenda in it. MMMM.

You don't have to spend a ton on an expensive coffee maker to get good coffee. Grind whole beans fresh each time you brew. I've had the same grinder for 20+ years. I use kroger store brand beans. It's delish and nothing beats the smell of fresh ground beans that fills your kitchen.

keurig sucks in my opinion. it's so controlled & there's no way i can make my coffee the way i want it; sometimes i like it darker, or stronger, or more bitter, and i love to try different roasts & blends from different coffeemakers.

if u can't get an espresso machine (i finally just got one for a wedding gift, $250 @ bed bath n beyond) that u can also control, then i would definitely recommend a french press. u can control not only what coffee you choose, but also the factors in your preparation.

We always drank Community Coffee with Chicory made in a percolator. We've since given up coffee and now brew Teeccino. It's herbal, no caffeine and no acidity. Unfortunately it has more calories than coffee so I'm down to only one cup a day.

neclar

i get delivery also BocaJava. Bananas Foster Float and Caramel Kiss mixed or alone. Fav from gas station is Dark Roast.

We do mostly Green Mountain and New England brand coffees for both Keurig and drip machines.

The Starbucks Via (instant) iced caramel is reeeaaallly good too.

To me, nothing beats Douwe Egberts (Dutch) coffee.. Awesome!!
Unfortunately, except for the pods for my Senseo maker, I can only get it by ordering off the internet.
Blue Mountain (Jamaican) runs a close second..

I love going to The Fresh Market and buying the coffee that you grind in store. I only buy a little since I don't drink coffee regularly(weekdays) anymore. So it's always fresh and I can try new coffee often.

if u buy lavazza or intelligentsia, i promise u won't regret it (-:

I have a keurig and my favorite is green mountain hazelnut decaf. I drink it with a tablespoon of unsweetened vanilla almond milk. So yummy.
