    I'm not sure if you have one near you, but Aldi has french vanilla and hazelnut coffee for $5.99 each. It's so good, and I don't need sugar or cream/milk to drink it!

    Gloria Jean's Caramel or Hazelnut.

    There's another brand as well, but I forget it's name.

    These are black ground coffees.

    I usually get an organic fair trade Coda coffee from my local coffee shop. I like Guatemalan the most!

    I don't think I've ever seen one.

    Peet's is my favorite. I get the whole bean at Costco (they also have it at Target, and most grocery stores). I grind it fresh every few days and drink two cups, black, every morning. :smile:

    So far I came up with a really good sun tea solution to my needs.

    Until I get the Mellita , Krups, and coffee beans.

    This what an inexpensive grinder looks like. I can't emphasize enough the taste benefits of fresh ground from whole beans.

    My son just bought me this one for my birthday. I have a keurig with the My k cup reusable cups. The difference is tremendous with grinding your own beans. That said, he also bought me some 100% Kona coffee beans. Wonderful, but it's a medium roast. I also get beans from a coffee shop a couple hours away from me. It's flavored though--dark chocolate raspberry truffle. It's my favorite.

    Yep.

    Seriously though, I like Don Francisco. Might just be a California product, I don't know. I do know that it's doesn't upset my stomach and the vanilla hazelnut is amazing. Plus I'm not a fan of spending a ton of money on coffee.

    Older and more refined. :smile: Especially in the Book of Eli.

    Alright back to the topic. Yeah Don Francisco coffee is pretty great. I like it better than Starbucks which a lot of people seem downright offended by. lol It doesn't burn my stomach and also doesn't have that bitter taste that a lot of coffee has.

    Stumptown coffee is really good if on the spendy side. For el cheapo, I started drinking Cafe Bustelo when I lived in Miami - made w/a Moka Pot on the stove (I always see them cheap at Goodwill). Love me some strong, hot Bustelo. :)

    The trick to great, black coffee is to buy whole beans and grind them yourself right before you make your coffee. You can pickup a simple grinder for $15 or $20 and they are easy to use. As far as beans, I like a medium roast, such as Starbucks house blend or Dunkin donuts original blend.

    A lot of people say that pour over brewing is far better than using an electric pot or the like.

    I have yet to try it, I keep reading about using this filter or that... gonna sort it out.

    I get whole beans from a local market, which are probably mass roasted beans anyway... and use a conical grinder. I will say the taste is better even in my electric pot than having bought pre-ground even from the same beans bought from the same market.

    I've never been a fan of starbucks as it tastes bitter to me and needs a lot of cream and sugar to cover that up.
    I love Level Ground Trading - Peru medium coffee, whole bean is one of the only ones I like black. You can order big boxes online for cheaper if you drink a lot rather than small bags.

    Starbucks pike is like that. I like blonde and Verona though.

    I tried Sumatra the other day, meh.

    Blonde as a pourover too. Not better than regular blonde. Didn't have the heart to tell the Barista ( or the line that formed behind me.)

    Starbucks Sumatra or Komodo Dragon

    For amazingly rich black coffee, check out Blue Mountain coffee from Jamaica...wow!

    By rich, do you mean smoky?/ I don't like that tobacco flavor in my coffee.

    This is what i am referring to.

    I have something just like this made by Melita. It makes great coffee and it's much easier to clean than a french press. I definitely recommend it.

    I have been wanting to try a french press as an alternative to the Keurig but this looks interesting. I will check it out. Thanks!

    I think they will be very different things. Press doesn't "tamp" but I think it still extracts more than a puourover situation. I could be wrong..

    Try Costa Rican coffees. They have very, very little natural bitterness.
