Re: The Coffee Thread
Any good coffee lover should invest in a french press. You'll thank me later.

Re: The Coffee Thread
As far as beans go, I've been buying a lot of "artisan" coffee lately. Some places are hit and miss, but it's nice to support the locals. I've been stuck on Sumatra beans for a while now.
Here's a good example of an artisan shop that knows how to make good coffee:

Re: The Coffee Thread
When my wife and I were in Maui last year we brought back a bunch of "Bad Ass Coffee Company"http://www.badassmaui.com brand Kona Coffe - American Roast. We gave a bunch to our friends and family as thanks for watching the house/pets and as souvenirs.
We kept a couple of pounds for ourselves and let me tell you that is some fine coffee. Unfortunately it is $2 an ounce. I only drink it when we have company that truly appreciates coffee.
I also am a Starbuck's addict. I buy Columbian at the store and have at least 3 Venti Vanilla Latte's a week.

What's your favorite Starbucks roast? I've gotta go with the Italian extra bold.

Re: The Coffee Thread
I really liked the coffee I had in Europe. It's alot stronger, but you only have to drink a little bit so you aren't peeing all morning.
McDonalds is ok, Dunkin Donuts is much better. Honestly, i drink more Folgers than anything. I never buy from Starbucks simply because I can't cough up the $2 for a cup, but when it's given to me as a gift I like it all right.
Stewarts is probably the best store bought stuff that I like.

Re: The Coffee Thread
I love Kaldi's in StL. I didn't have that experience in Europe, jim. There were many restaurants that served up an instant coffee bag that resembled a tea bag. I didn't find Europe very big on coffee.jim wrote:I really liked the coffee I had in Europe. It's alot stronger, but you only have to drink a little bit so you aren't peeing all morning.

I know in England they drink alot of instant, but in France it was a very strong, brewed coffee. Even in the McDonalds, it was served in like a 6 oz cup because anymore and you would have an overdose I think.
I never put anything in my coffee, but over there you almost have to. But it's good, after a week I was pretty hooked on it.
