What kind of coffee do you all like?

I buy bags of "Eight o'Clock" coffee beans from Walmart and grind it as I use it. Then I mix about 3/4 "Eight o'Clock" and 1/4 Starbucks Espresso (preground b/c I can't find Starbucks espresso roasted beans at Walmart). By using that combination, I find I have the PERFECT cup of coffee every time. It's really strong, but it's not sharp like most strong coffee is. It's VEEERY smooth, and that's what I like.

What do you all drink?

Of course none of the stuff we drink here would pass as coffee in Europe, but quantity is the secret... icon_smile.gif

At the rate I go through coffee.... just cheap Folgers. Sometimes I splurge for some good stuff from Hawaii though. icon_smile.gif

Well, my problem with starbucks is they think that an over-roasted bean is good. I don't like over-roasted beans, so I don't like Starbucks. They do have pretty good espresso roast coffee...

In our break room we have a pretty swank little automatic coffee machine. You put in the packet for the type of coffee you want, push the right button, and boom: coffee, tea, or hot chocolate. It even tells me to "enjoy my beverage". The future is truly here! Sometimes the coffee doesn't taste like it's been brewed through an old sock. icon_smile.gif

My favorite out of the machine: One cappuchino (a cream packet + an espresso packet) mixed with one cup of hot chocolate.

At home I'm not a picky man. Freeze dried Folgers all the way! icon_biggrin.gif

Starbucks- White Chocolate Mocha all the way!!!!!!! If you have a sweet tooth it is totally addicting. icon_biggrin.gif

Yum. My favorite was a "double tall mocha". My favorite coffee shop closed, so I just dring coffee at home. Saves me a trip in to the Village anyhow. Not like I live in a place with many coffee shops (I think there is 1 now).... so it is all good. icon_wink.gif

When I go to Seattle, I splurge though. icon_biggrin.gif

Press pot is the only way to go. I got one a few months ago and have yet to plug my drip maker back in. It makes any coffee taste good.

I don't much like starbucks, either. I think it's overated. Just about any fresh arabica is great.

When I was on vacation in England we used those press pots. They're quite cool. I was thinking of getting one after my tub of foldgers was out. icon_smile.gif

Tim Hortons coffee absolutely rocks! Their donuts aren't too shabby either. icon_wink.gif Now if I could only figure out an easier way to "rrroll up the rim to win!" icon_biggrin.gif

When it comes to coffee its Mocha

When its soda... its usually Mountain Dew

Alcohol would be either beer (La fin du monde - Canadian beer icon_biggrin.gif) Or whiskey.

Every morning, I take my ritualistic drive to the local Starbucks where I partake in a Tall Soy Sugar Free Vanilla Latte with a dash of cinnamon. (Can't handle milk or sugar so hence the Soy (ugh, but better than nothing) and the sugar free syrup)

Then when I get home, it is back to my Diet Coke which I drink about a case a day, sometimes I substitute and get a couple 2 liters of Diet Dr. Pepper.

If you love coffee, buy some green unroasted coffee beans from www.sweetmarias.com (Try a cheap Columbian or something while you're learning) and a Hearthware home roaster. Once you get the technique down, you will never want store-bought coffee again.

The difference between day old coffee and months old coffee is staggering. Not only that, but it's a great conversation piece, it's a lot of fun, and your garage smells like pure heaven for a couple days!
