This one resonates. I've experimented with different ways to brew coffee, and to me it always just comes out tasting like hot water that has passed over ground coffee beans. But I did feel like a more discerning coffee person when I fussed with the French Press, although the coffee tasted the same as always. I have finally landed on the standard Mr. Coffee type of system, but I always buy the cheapest one I can find. When it breaks, I buy another cheap one. I think my current one is a Black and Decker. You know Black and Decker? They make electric saws and power drills. What makes the real difference in coffee is what kind it is, and probably how it is roasted.

The current rage is Starbucks. I'm a fan too. Quality robust coffee from exotic places, some that can knock your socks off, but after all the hype, which is well deserved IMO, it comes served in a paper cup. Go figure! See, it's about the coffee, rather than the foo-fah.

Welcome to Senior forums, Dave! Thanks for posting. Our granddaughter is working at Starbucks and gave us a bag of Yukon Blend. We tried it just this morning, and it was delicious with no bitter taste. The beans looked dark and shiny, like smooth raisins. We enjoy basic coffee as a rule, and try not to be too fussy.

Sumatra was my fav years ago. A bit bolder than Yukon, but in the last few years, I've settled into Dunkin Donuts, totally not exotic, and domestically medium. Not very impressive sounding. Go to a coffee convention and tell people, and they would probably wonder what you were even doing there.
