Your favorite coffee.

Mocha Java is also my favorite everyday blend. (Usually, it’s 1/3 Moka/Ethiopian coffee to 2/3 Java/Sumatra)

Zabar’s Blend from Zabar’s in NYC. I keep the beans in the freezer and grind them myself. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…

I agree, it’s what I use.

But I add so much industrial strength flavored creamer and sugar to my coffee (it’s three shades lighter than my skin when I drink it and I’m a black woman!) that it really doesn’t matter where it’s from or how it tastes in its native state. Coffee is just the vector for milky stuff and a sugar buzz, AFAIC. :smiley:

Colombian Mesa de los Santos from Sweet Maria’s. Roast and grind it myself. Mmmm.

I love Peet’s. The Kalossi Sulawessi is devine, and light years better than the starbucks Sulaswessi.

Whittard’s of Chelsea’s French or Italian roast coffees are divine. I drink my coffee strong, rich, and black, and those are great. They also do one called Monsoon Malabar, which is stupidly strong, but so very very nice.

Which reminds me, I should go and buy coffee beans at some point, rather than the Dowe Egbert stuff in my fridge at the moment.

I make my own blend of 3/5 Celebes Kalossi beans (which I buy from a local roaster) and 2/5 monsooned malabar beans (which I have to buy from an online retailer, but they roast and ship the same day so it is really fresh.) This makes for a delightfully rich cup of coffee!

Current favorite is Harbor Girl, a blend made by our wonderful local roaster, Dead River Coffee.

Overall, I like the coffee I make at home the best. I go with Capresso coffee makers, which heat the water hotter than most standard drip makers. The result is a really smooth cup of coffee without any bitterness (provided, of course, that you start with good quality beans.) I grind my own beans every morning.

The coffee in my house is heavenly. I’ve never been anywhere - coffee shop, donut shop, or high end restaurant - where it compares.

I love my coffee. My coffee loves me.

Whole Foods’ extra-dark French roast. They roast it in the store and sometimes it’s still warm in the bulk bin. Ten bucks a pound, but I’ve mislaid so many of my vices that I might as well get into the ones I still have. It’s right down the street so I get a small amount every couple of days and grind it there. I can’t bear the sound of a coffee grinder in the morning before I’ve had coffee!

But I’ll also go with the Trader Joe’s BIG 26-ounce can of French roast for seven forty-nine. It tastes only slightly less fresh. Too bad TJ’s is fifty miles away.

I had the worst coffee in years at a wedding this past weekend – cheap columbian brewed so weakly that you could see the bottom of the cup, as if it were tea.

Tim Horton’s has always been my favourite, and every Christmas, my family sends me tins of it (hopefully with some poppy quarters this year!)

Since moving to Seattle, I’ve found Starbucks to be… eh… just okay. Seattle’s Best is pretty good stuff. Tully’s is my personal favourite here, though.

But Tim’s above all else.

I’d like to try some of the fresher/fancier stuff out there, someday… I mean, something other than this “fast food” coffee. Not that I don’t love it!

I’ll try anything twice. Well… except maybe kopi luwak coffee… :eek:

That’d be abominable tea as well. Shouldn’t be able to see the bottom of the cup with a well brewed black tea.

Now this thread makes me want to be a part of some sort of coffee exchange. Reading these opinions on Tim Hortons coffee makes me want to try it, but there aren’t any of their stores around here and I didn’t find a way to buy it online.

Hmm. :slight_smile:

My favourite coffee is hot chocolate.

StG

Brew me up some fresh coffee, add a few shots of Bailey’s Irish Creme, a few shots of Kahlua, a few shots of irish whiskey, fill a large thermos and send me off to the bleachers at a local football game in November. :slight_smile:

geeez I sure am boring. I just like plain ole Folgers

My favorite coffee is liquid, hot, and strong enough so you can’t see the bottom of the cup.

I’m not picky, really. I’ll drink the coffee that’s been sitting in the pot for six or seven hours, and take it black. I’ll drink the fruitiest flavored frappuccinos from Starbucks. Hell, I’ve been drinking coffee since I was three years old, and I’ll try just about anything caffeinated once.

But, but, but, that’s adulterating coffee! Noooo!!!

I loves me some pure Kona. It isn’t sold around here. I always have to order it off the internet (and only do so when I’m feeling semi-wealthy). I will have to try the site EJsGirl recommended; the prices are quite reasonable!

My favorite is a 20 oz. mochaccino. Nothin like 500 calories, 60 grams of sugar (more probably), and a dose of caffeine to get you goin crazy :smiley:

norinew, I’d love it if you did! And you can feel good about it too, because you’re supporting a one-family farm rather than some big conglomerate where the growers get pennies per pound sold. Lion’s Gate is a family-owned and -operated B&B and farm on the Kona coast near Honaunau. We’ve known the owners for about 40 years, and their daughter just bought her own farm near them. The parents thought they were retiring to Hawaii, hee hee- they’ve probably never worked this hard, but they think it’s worth it!

And their mac nuts are home-grown and spectacular, too.

OK, that’s the end of my commercial! But I can’t help it! Why line a national chain’s pockets when you can do better?
