    When I'm out and about, I love McDonald's coffee or my local C-store (Kwik Trip/Cafe Karuba--yep, it's tasty). At home, I use a french press with the Cafe Karuba beans sold at the C-store. Still waiting (but not holding my breath--wishful thinking) for McD's beans to make at home.

    I have a humble and modest coffee palate.


    I have seen the McCafe beans/grounds at my local grocery store - so they are coming.

    My current obsession is the chocolate coffee from Trader Joe's. Or the Illy medium roast beans. I found some things here to try, thank you!

    I absolutely adore my AeroPress though. I do have a copper french press as well, but for ease of use & cleanup, the AP is AMAZING. I can also do a bazillion things with them both.

    Wawa, no contest. Beats out any professional coffee house or gourmet coffee brand I've ever tried.

    Green Mountain Colombian is my jam. I drink most coffee with a splash of skim milk but I could drink this stuff by the gallon with no milk at all!

    McDonald's does have beans now that you can buy at the grocery store. I'm not a McD's fan, though.

    I <3 Stone Creek Coffee--it's from Milwaukee (WI). I found one this holiday season called "Santa's Revenge"...it's incredible! Very dark, and very smooth!

    for Kcups I like the Newman's Own Special Blend. For drip I do like Duncan and 8 Oclock french roast. I used to love hazelnut but for the last 5 years or so I've really disliked flavored coffee.

    Caribu, Obsidian blend is really good. but I haven't had a bad Caribu coffee either.

    that Deathwish coffee has me intruiged. I like a strong coffee.

    but as someone mentioned above, finding a local roaster would be good too!

    Kenya AA, roasted light just after the second crack. If it is done right, the beans shouldn't have any oil on them initially. There is very little bitterness in the cup, light on the tongue, I could drink it and nothing else.

    I like Seattle's Best Organic #4. They sell it at Walmart for $5.88/bag! Affordable, tasty, and ORGANIC!

    Peet's. Peet's Peet's Peet's. Any of their dark roasts--Major Dickason's Blend is a good intro. You may be able to find it on the shelves of your local supermarket, or at your local Costco (if you have a local Costco). Better, if you live near a store (here on the east coast they converted all of the Caribou Coffee joints to Peet's) try a cup of the dark roast there.

    Also agree that Kenya AA, from most roasters, is an incredible cup (though I like it dark).

    Even their k-cups and by the pound packages are better than your grocery store standards.

    Jingle Bell Java from Mystic Monk Coffee. It's seasonal, but man is this stuff good...never bitter.

    Was never a fan of Starbucks until I discovered their Blonde Roast. My favorite coffee at the moment.

    You want good coffee try and find a roaster near you. When I lived in CT there was one about 5 minutes from the house. No better coffee that something roasted and ground that day!

    Exactly!! Buy it fresh roasted and grind it yourself just before brewing.

    I love the coffee in my Chemex but it's just too much hassle. I've gone back to a regular old drip coffee maker except for special times.

    In a hurry, K-cups are convenient and make a decent cup but I hate using the non-recyclable containers. I've been using the San Francisco Bay recyclable k-cups and they are excellent and reasonably priced. http://www.rogersfamilyco.com/

    Keep it clean and fresh!

    Dark roast (I like the Sumatra) or the Dark Magic K-cups....I forget which brand those are.

    Really though the big thing for coffee is to buy whole beans and grind them just before making it. And to use enough coffee grounds. My grandfather and dad both don't use nearly the amount you're supposed to use. Grinding right before is the best thing no matter what type of coffee you like.
