Your preference of coffee

I percolate & am currently drinking Starbucks French roast. Change up the brand on occasion . As long as it is hot . Black or maybe with a little powdered creamer. I hate putting cold cream in a hot cup'o coffee.

We don't use anything fancy or high dollar......a $18.00 Mr. Coffee and Maxwell House Bold.

If, you enjoy a robust flavor
But not a robust price
And have a Costco nearby

Nine bucks a 3 lb can

(you can thank me later)
 

I've had my Keurig for about a year now, and use it a lot, but I think the coffee was much more full-bodied and delicious with the old-fashioned percolator. Or even a drip pot. Those little Keurig pods don't give you the same "oomph."

It's hard to find straight Mocha (Mocha Sanani) these days, but I have a supply of green beans which I roast on about a weekly basis. I use a fairly coarse grind and brew it in a French press. I like it with brown sugar and whipping cream cut about 20% with whole milk.

Green coffee stores almost indefinitely. The best coffee is from Yemen. Percolated coffee, mixed with the aroma of bacon, smells wonderful, but it tastes awful.

Wow! another roaster! What do you roast with? I started using an air popper,but now use a Fresh Roast 500. I roast every Sunday afternoon for the week.

Personally I think Yemen is over rated. I like Kenyan AA (Obama Coffee) taken just short of 2nd crack. We also love Indian Monsooned Malabar. It is a really different taste,but it has come to be one of our mainstays.

I buy greens about every 3 months. I get 17 lbs, because it works out well with USPS Priority Flat Rate Box.

I will get 5# each of the Kenya and Malabar and the I will explore other beans in 2# increments looking for another favorite.

We only drink black. Prefer French Press, but use a Mr. Coffee drip for everyday use.
 
Folger's Coffee Crystals..........all the way, for me. Each and every morning, one or two cups. One packet of Splenda and a little flavored cream.
 
I use the Hawaiian Coffee Company, Lion Coffee, French Roast ground coffee. And I use the Melitta singe cup pour over method, and I heat the water in the microwave. That way I have a fresh cup every time and also I control how hot the coffee is. I can't take really hot beverages or food.

Olivia, sometimes I use the pour over, too! I heat the water in a $12.00 instant kettle from Amazon , half the time of the microwave or less...as if seconds matter. :)
 
My wife has never been a coffee drinker, dislikes the taste.

Back in 1970 the doctor told me to stop drinking it, it was irritating my gizzard. He didn't say gizzard exactly, but that was the idea.

When I was in the Navy in the 50's the coffee tended to be a sort of liquid laxative, I didn't drink great quantities of it.
 
I started drinking coffee in the Navy onboard ship. A hot cup of coffee and a cigarette kept most Sailor’s awake on deck during a Mid-Watch (11:45PM to 3:45AM) at sea at night. After the Navy, just kept on drinking it, not all day, just in the AM. My brother and my SIL drink black coffee all day. I can’t stand the taste of black coffee.

Wife loves hot chocolate, with a little coffee put in. She also likes hot tea. Myself, during the summer, I like ice tea, water and Bud Light.
 
I like strong French roast coffees best. Black or splash of cream, no sweetener. We use a Keurig for convenience and have found several brands of k-cups that we enjoy. Just say no to weak coffee... ugh.
 
Anyone that enjoys black coffee, really gets the flavor. And it has to be good if it's black to enjoy it. Nothing is there to change the flavor.

Expresso has to be black. That's what I get when I visit an Italian friend.

Small cup and a real jolt.
 
That Costco Kirkland coffee is delicious, and much more affordable than most of the others. I wish it came in those little pods for Keureg coffee makers!
 
My Black and Decker coffee maker just died on me, yesterday's coffee was lukewarm, had to nuke it to drink it. I went to Target because I had a couple of free gift card they gave for a certain amount of past purchases. Bought this Hamilton Beach that was on sale for $19.99.

This morning was the first pot of coffee I made with it, had to turn it on manually. Last night I programmed it to come on at a certain time, but I think I cancelled it when I pressed the button again to check on it. There was no indication of a preset, no light or anything.

Today I programmed it again, hopefully it will come on automatically in the morning as planned, or it goes back to the store defective. I like it so far, nice and hot compared to my old machine. I've been buying Kona Blend coffee beans from Sprouts and grinding them myself at home.
