For the coffee lovers: What's your favorite brew?

I've recently fallen in love with this stuff...



Unstinkinbelievable Coffee. Bar none the best i've ever had.

(Seriously worth a try. I have no affiliation with this coffee other than the fact that it's my favorite blend ever. www.usbcoffee.com)
What's yours?

+1. As far as for particular bean type, I prefer either Kenya AA or a good Italian Roast; depending on my mood. None of this Folger's stuff.

It just varies from year-to-year, crop-to-crop and lot-to-lot for most varietals. Some people say, "My favorite coffee is Kona" or "My favorite coffee is Jamaica Blue Mountain" etc... which is, to me, a pretty nonsensical statement because all growing regions can vary widely from year-to-year and according to which farm, what altitude etc...

Having said that some of my favorite coffees of the past have been various particular Ethiopian Harrar and Sidamo microlots, a particularly spectacular Kenya Gethumbwini from a few years back, last year's Yemen Moka San'ani was quite good and I also tend to favor a good dry-processed Brazil. Last year I had an exceptional Brazilian from the Jacaranda area. A lot of my faves do tend to be dry-processed...which is kinda too bad since they make a mess of chaff when roasting! Love 'em though.

I've heard many complaints from Turkish guys on coffee forums about how hard it is to find good, proper espresso in Turkey. I hope you do though because it definitely gets way better than Starbucks!

yeah that's correct.

I don't have an espresso machine at home either. But if there were some nice beans available, I probably would have one. I love single Yemen Moka, but only had that grounded and brewed.

I like Peets. Dunkin Donuts coffee is pretty good too. And Safeway brand is better than I would have figured it to be.

I'm also a big fan of Turkish coffee.

I prefer cafe nero's coffee to any other branded place out there, but I don't drink a lot of coffee at home because of anxiety problems but I do love a cup once in a while

I go to shoprite and mix a bunch of different types of beans and put them in a bag. Nothing in particular, just whatever seems like a good idea to dump in the bag.

I drink that black with no sugar, extra strong (I put in about 3 scoops from the coffee spoon into the grinder, when you're supposed to use one for a moderately strong cup. I like my coffee like tar.)

I have a Hawaiian customer send me unmarked bags of Arabica coffee that they process near where he lives. It's my all time fav.

I dont usually have espresso (unless im visiting my folks as they have a machine). In which case it is generally Illy coffee.

Usually a good old 8 cup caffitiere does it for me. Italian roast, Taylors "Lazy Sunday" or Douwe Egberts (whatever the green pack is).

I'm a fan of Kenya AA. When ever I grow bored with that, I usually switch to Pea Berry for a while.

Several years ago one of the guys I worked with did some work in Jamaica. I think he left all of his clothes behind when the job was done, because he came back with a suitcase full of Blue Jablum coffee. I got kind of spoiled on that stuff.
