Coffee thread!

[desirexe]

I enjoy a large cup of Starbucks Cafe' Verona with splenda and cream in the morning. I am spoiled, my husband makes the coffee the night before and hits the timer button to brew in the morning and if he's home, he'll bring my coffee to me in bed! Either I am very lucky or he just thinks I am a horrible bitch in the morning before I've had my caffeine! Last month a friend sent me a bag of Stump Town Holler Mountain coffee and that stuff was incredible, thee best coffee I've ever had! The flavor description included "raw tobacco," so no wonder I loved it so much! I went to their website, contemplating buying it but it was appx. $16 (w/ shipping) for a 12 oz. bag..for that price, I could buy 2 16-oz. bags of the Starbucks.

Newman's Own Coffee is really good too.
The worst coffee I've bought recently is New England Coffee, utter garbage

Screw Starbucks!!! Small Pacific Northwest coffee roasters are where it's at in my opinion, that's all I drink because luckily a decent variety is available in all the supermarkets here in Sea-Town, not trying to brag but people around these parts know a good cup of coffee and how to roast the beans, go with Stump Town for sure.

They make the Eye Opener blend. That one is passable, although the only one of theirs I have had.

Yuban regular roast, black, no sugar. It's the only coffee that exists in my world.

I like 8 O'Clock French roast, ground just before brewing. Black is the only way I drink it. I make an exception when I make my daughter cappuccino. I'll put a little bit of sugar, and frothed milk in mine too.

A friend gave me a grinder a while back, and I just recently got into the joys of fresh-ground coffee. So far I've had Community and 8 O'Clock. A store recently had a good sale on the 8OC, so I bought several bags of it. I haven't had the French roast yet, though I bought some. I've had the medium and dark roasts of Community, and the regular and 100% Colombian of the 8OC. I like them all, depending on my mood, but I'd say I'm partial to the 8OC Colombian.

I used to be a Folgers guy. Suddenly not so much. Still drink it black though, almost always.

cafe noir this one is really nice creamy and dark, all in one!

Sometimes latte, sometimes drip coffee. There is a lot of good coffee out there. Funny thing is I have to indulge in good coffee on my own because my girlfriend gets super mad when I bring home expensive coffee.
Best ive ever had, Herkimer coffee in Seattle.

Haven't heard of it until now. I see they have two locations, I'll have to give them a try. Thanks Wade

I have a "cousin" I guess (great uncle's son's kid - I have no idea what that would be) who runs a coffee company (importer, roaster, etc) from Santa Barbara/Goleta CA.

He sells bags of the coffee he roasts here: http://www.caribbeancoffee.com/

I don't drink a lot of coffee, maybe 2-3 cups a week, but I like to drink his when I do. We grind most of it ourselves. But there is one he makes calls "Hair raiser" which is a dark, strong coffee - that one I have them grind, they grind it fine, and it is really one to wake you up.

I think I usually drink Starbucks in the bag. I like it. I like coffee, but not a conisuere(sp?), lately I have been drinking decaf, as the wife likes that because she has some gerd related ailment, and I don't mind it, I don't think I can tell the difference really.

Believe it or not Walmart has an excellent "gourmet" choice--Sam's Ethiopian. Wife can't get enough of it. Very smooth and tasty. Strange but true. Cheap naturally--five bucks a bag.

[Tin Man]

I drink whatever the closest gas station is brewing. Usually have to toss in a bunch of cream and sugar to make it palatable. I don't drink a whole lot of coffee because it makes me crap. I drink tea. Yummy yummy tea.

New favorite coffee.

Best coffee I've had in years. I missed fresh roasted coffee.

I get nearly all my coffee from a place called Monmouth here in London

My favourites include Finca la Perla and Finca San Francisco Tecuamburro which are both from Guatamala and Fazenda Camocim from Brazil.

I also always get a bag of the Cup of Excellence when Monmouth have it in stock. This month they are stocking the Fazenda Santa Helena from Brazil.

Regular store bought coffee is primarily Santa Ana (Guatamala) and Maraba (Rwanda) from Union Coffee Roasters and Machu Piccu and Mayan Palenque from Cafédirect. I also tend to pick up some Illy from time to time.
