QueerRudie Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 1.) Drip/French Press: Easy. Misha's Coffee, Alexandria, VA. 2.) Espresso (Capsule type): Nespresso Vivalto Lungo. 3.) Espresso (Ground/tamp type): Blue Mountain Groves South field blend, preferably the 2004-2006 vintage.
FlyingScooter Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 8 O'clock brand decaf... (always grind it myself at home...) good stuff.
cycamps Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 ^I don't drink coffee, but my dad does, and he always gets that brand and grinds it himself too.
sugart Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 For the NJ, SE Pa, Del, and a little bit of Maryland crowd, there is nothing better than Wawa. Only coffee Ill drink
Team Thriller Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 Senseo is my favorite. And for the company, it will have to be Starbucks all the way! --James
Calaway Park Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 I live in Canada and we have 'Robins Donuts' which was [maybe still is, ours shut down] a chain but now you can buy their coffee in stores and make it yourself. But as for stuff I buy that I don't make, Starbucks is win.

niiicolaaah Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 My favorite coffee is Tim Horton's coffee, but that could just be because it was EVERYWHERE back home and I miss it. Other than that, I will drink any coffee, except I HATE Starbucks! Their regular coffee tastes just totally burnt and gross to me, and I like to drink my coffee black. So I can only drink their "fancy" drinks that are way too expensive and loaded with way too much sugar and junk. Therefore I just stay away from it! I LOVE coffee and I hope to grind it at home some day!! Oh and I don't remember anything about the coffee I drank in Europe. It was all hotel coffee though, so I wouldn't know what it was anyway.

PirateKitty Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 Jamaica Blue Mountain 30% blend is my favorite. Its pricey, but worth it. I just don't drink it every day.
Jayjay719 Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 Growing up I was never a coffee drinker. Then one magical day I had a cup of coffee. I'm now a die hard coffee fan. Dunkin Donuts coffee is the best coffee I have ever had. Starbucks isn't all that great to me. Man now I want a cup.
the ghost Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 I like coffee I make on my own and I get mocha and stuff from starbucks. I love its a grind and starbuck's winter blends. And just because California is like the trendiest place on earth we have a place called lolly cup and I LOVE the coffee/ mocha flavored tea.
sfgadviperboi Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 In the Philly area I enjoy Bucks County Coffee. I cannot stand Starbucks coffee but I do not mind their espresso.
HerBlackWings Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 Jeff Johnson. I've heard it comes in cans.
Sean Menefee Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 I don't purchase much chain coffee anymore, and tend to grind and make my own 99e% of the time. I'm a big fan of any of the JBM varieties, but my personal favorite is Hawaiian Kona Peaberry. It may seem a bit expensive, but when you add up the price of consecutive cups of coffee at Starbucks, it's not a bad deal at all. -Sean
KevinM Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 (Sorry about pulling up an old-ish thread) I've sunk nearly $1,000 on espresso (my machine/grinder and a training session I took) so I take my coffee pretty seriously. IMO the very best coffee, either for home brewing or in the shop is Intelligentsia. They have three coffeebars in Chicago (near me) and two in California... these people are the best in the country. Also, they take incredible care in selecting beans... the Black Cat Espresso is amazing. You won't believe what a difference fresh roast can make.
Teacups Make Me Sick Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 I brew in a percolator Cuban coffee...its easy to make. Fill the coffee holder-jammy with cuban coffee (Its in the spanish isle with a yellow label, Cafe Bucca, I think). Fill the bottom jammy with water. Throw in 3 heaping spoonfuls of sugar into the water, stir. Its really freaking good...not much resemblance to coffee. But I guess thats why they added the 'cuban' part to distinguish it from the regular stuff.
