What's your favorite coffee?

[Pilgrim]

Black. And if you can see through it, it's too weak.

If there is no crema on top, you are doing it wrong

I never drink coffee black personally...always some sort of cream in it..

I like to go to my supermart that has all the coffeebeans in separate containers and a grinder.

All the containers are marked as to what bean it is and strong/mellow rating...

So I experiment ....making my own mixtures of beans......

Always ground "fine"....for best flavor.....

I drink cheap Safeway Hazelnut coffee, made in a percolator. Good enough for my parents and grandparents, good enough for me.

The day I pay some fop in an apron, who insists on being called a "barista" $5 for a coffee is the day you can punch me right in the face, twice.

Eight O'Clock brewed in an old fashioned Farberware stainless steel percolator. Yeaaaaah buddy. Just like my buddy Vinnie's wife Dot used to make. Yum-O.

I roast my own coffee beans and I usually have beans from many regions, however, Ethiopian Yirgacheffe beans are my favorite, next are beans from Kenya, Colombia and Guatemala, I got the beans from Sweet Marias.

Brewed and hot in the pot before my feet slide into my slippers.

Another Dunkin Donuts guy here. At home it's Folger's morning blend. I hate Starbucks coffee and think all people who drink Starbucks are addicts who fell prey to their evil ways of over caffeinating people and getting them addicted. They knew exactly what they were doing, and it worked. Then they flooded the internet with stupid crap that 4 cups of coffee a day is healthy!

Gonna restring my bass now .

i just like the kind you drink in the morning.....you guys are coffee geeks.

French roast. French press. Strong and black.

I drink coffee a lot less than I used to (as it was interfering with my sleep), but when I do, I like it strong and black...espresso, americano, or strong black coffee. I have a stovetop espresso maker (or whatever they call it in Italian), two French presses, two Haro drip style things, and a not so great burr grinder. Too much junk for someone that just has tea most days...

 

[nshuman]

Fun fact, French roast, Italian roast, Spanish roast, and other very dark roasts were used in Europe to mask all the unpleasantness of very bad cheap coffee. When you have great beans, it's always better to do a much lighter roast so you can actually taste all the subtleties of the coffee.

 

[smperry]

Lighter roasts also have more caffeine.

 

[Alkali Ike]

Starbucks doppio iced espresso with a splash of half-and-half.

 

[elgecko]

Freshly ground World Market Sumatra beans in a French Press. Bang for the buck baby!

EDIT: $9.99 for a pound and a half. Try getting a 10oz bag of Indonesian beans at that place with the mermaid for that!

 

[ShoeManiac]

I love a good Kona. Fantastic stuff! And I love Turkish coffee, too. It's got such a unique texture.

 

[PWRL]

Buen Dia freeze dried instant, by Juan Valdez. Failing that, a standard Kona or Columbian from anyplace reputable.
The best I had was a Tanzanian Peaberry. I wish I could find more. Maybe if I actually looked, I could find some.

"Steep and brew," a local brand, french roast, fairly strong, black. Sometimes I'll make espresso with the same beans. Regular electric coffee maker with paper filter.

The other thing is that I grind the beans quite fine. All of this sounds quite "particular," but none of it takes more than a minute in the morning.

 

[bassandkeys42]

Sumatran or something equally bold....hot....black as night!
