What is your favorite coffee?

[loubear]

I and my husband are coffee snobs. We buy only whole bean Starbucks and grind our beans for every pot. There is nothing like a good smooth coffee to get you going in the morning. I do agree that in order to judge a good coffee it must stand alone in order to taste the true flavor.

I don't drink coffee, but I do like tea, especially the orange spice herb tea.

And the chai lattes at Starbucks.

I've been drinking the Starbuck's House Blend and French Roast coffees for a couple years now. I get them in the whole bean bags, and have a grind & brew coffee maker. I ran out of the Starbucks, and made coffee with a preground [name removed to protect the innocent}] brand. The amount of caffeine in the [Dragnet] brand was high.

So I'm curious if this is something anyone else has experienced? I use the measurer from the grinder, and measure 5 scoops and make six cups of coffee. So by my standards I'm using *less* coffee then the package says, yet the ground coffee (non-Starbuck's) has way more caffeine then the whole bean coffee.

I don't drink coffee regularly but when I do I prefer a high quality brand such as Kona. I also prefer to have favored coffee such as a mocha or vanilla flavored coffee. I also enjoy a cold or hot spiced Chai tea occasionally.

I like Kona too. I think it's a little pricey for day to day drinking but enjoy it a couple times a year.

I worked in a restaurant as a kid, and they served Kona coffee as part of the meal. I really enjoyed it. A year or so after I started working there they switched to a canned liquid instant coffee that was awful.

I don't know why they switched, and can't think that the canned instant coffee would be cheaper except perhaps for less wasted coffee [With the Kona they had two urns with about 5 gallons (I'm honestly guessing the volume here: the machine was 2 1/2 feet tall and each tank was about 14" in diameter) in each urn so they wasted a few gallons each night.]

I am a simple person and i love my coffee simple too but with lots of sugar in it.
Adding too many things to your coffee, takes the coffee thing out of it in my opinion.

ohh yum coffee .. I think I have to get this IV into my blood stream..

there are good kona coffee out there but I have been on a sweet kick with my coffee recently so I am brewing a french vanilla and or I swtich it up with a chocolate raspberry

I do admit I am a coffee snob when it come to getting my coffe at starbucks and or any other coffee house .... when I order a simple latte I want a latte not a cappuccino or a stirred espresso with some bearly warm milk .. yuck

My mom send me alot of fancy coffee. I never tell her that I'm not really fond of those. :-)

I just like cafe latte from Starbucks. That simple.

[medako]

goodness....all of these different coffees makes me glad I don't have the decision to make.

I'm a tea girl myself - iced....just plain ol' lipton bags.

I don't drink coffee, but I do like tea, especially the orange spice herb tea.

And the chai lattes at Starbucks.

I have switched from the white chocolate mochas to the chai tea at starbucks and it is so good. I am glad that I switched. I think my hips were starting to pay the price of all those mochas.
