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.

    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!! :heart: :heart:

    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'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...
