Favorite Coffee

[ZYDECORICH]

I've been trying many different ones lately. I've got a good shop to go to that has many. I only buy full bean and grind my own. So far I like the Kenyan Double AA big bean and a Sumatra. My fave is Jamaican Blue Mountain but you can't always find it. As a standard the A&P French Roast is excellent. A chef friend of mine says to put a dash of cinnamon in to cut any bitterness... apparently restaurants do this often. What about your tastes?

If I'm feeling high-brow, Kona is the choice. Otherwise. Eight O'Clock French Roast is my daily joe. Whole bean/grind is the only way.

supposedly there's nothing like roasting your own. I'm lazy, so I buy from a local roaster - usually yirgacheffe or sumatra.

I usually drink chinese green jasmine tea. When I'm in a coffee mood, I do Eight O'Clock Colombian. I always do whole bean/grind.

Cinnamon won't do much for bitterness just add a nice (for some) flavor. A couple grains of salt will help with bitterness.

I like Carpe Diem out of Berwick, me. Also the big 2 1/2 # bags they sell at Sam's is great everyday coffee. Can't remember the name right now

Weavers, warning, it may make your daily coffee not as good... Once you are on there mailing list, occasionally they do free shipping promo's (time to stock up)

DonutShop K-Cups. Wheee!

GMCR (Green Mountain Coffee Roasters) Caramel Vanilla Cream. I get them in the K-cups.

The rumor was stomped out Friday that SBUX would partner up with GMCR to offer SBUX k-cups. That would be like Dunkin Donuts selling Krispy Kreme donuts or the iPhone running on the Droid OS.

Whatever is on sale that doesn't suck.

Kona or Blue Mtn.

Peets French Roast. GMCR French Roast, Shelburn Coffee Roasters French Roast, Starbucks French Roast...

I like coffee to taste like coffee. Will only brew it in a french press. Yum!

I'm a little surprised that others who swear by whole beans buy the 8 o'clock beans? Is such an inexpensive bean really that good?

New England Fresh ground - hazlenut with a shot of Bailey's chocolate in the am and maybe the REAL Bailey's in the pm

Yup. Currently, Matinsons (or something like that) is the deal at ShopRite. Kind of a ghetto Chock-Full-O'Nuts. Decent, especially at $3.99 a can.

Nice! Thanks for sharing! My wife and I were just discussing this the other day. We thought it was an untapped market for D&D.

Port City Coffee Roasters in Portsmouth, NH have a blend called Capone that I've been hooked on for a year.
