Favorite Brand of Coffee

I really wanted to like Newman's Own too SJ, because I admire how Paul Newman has used his celebrity to promote his charitable foundation.

Ironically, the Green Mountain Coffee Roasters plant is just about 7 miles from my home in Vermont, but I didn't try Newman's until my visit here. I found it stale and disappointing. I think you're right, bad coffee is better used for soap or mulch.

At home we replaced GMCR with http://tinyurl.com/32xhj6 years ago. It's still local, organic, fair trade, and fresh.

Here I've been using Seattle's Best organic breakfast blend.

Whole Foods Pleasant Morning Buzz. Thankfully, I will be back in Whole Foods territory very soon to re-load the cupboard.

When I run out? Any of the Starbucks bolds, or Community dark.

For my once daily cup, I like Douw Egberts/Senseo dark roast. For coffee press, anything my friends have been kind enough to bring back from Costa Rica - yum!

I don't drink coffee often, but when I do, the 100% Kona you can get from Bad (Donkey) on 98 in Miramar Beach is sublime. I've also had excellent cups of the day from Emerald Coast Coffee (Bluewater Bay & Destin) and Maas Coffee (FWB)

Don't much care for Starbucks unless I can douse it in syrups. I supertaste bitter, so their coffee seems far too bitter to me.

Arkiehawg Brand!

We go to Fresh Market and create our own blend from their barrels. A little bit of tis, a little bit of tat....

I was spoiled by my Senseo and then found fair trade pods at Whole Foods to go in it. I recently found a reusable pod that actually works so I can put any kind of coffee in it. A nice medium roast.
I remember when I was younger and poor I called my sister crying, "I can only afford 'snif snif' MAXWELL HOUSE." She overnighted some of the goodstuff to me. Ah, it's memories like that which make me so thankful for all I have today.

Cool - I will look for some free trade pods, then, bluemtnrunner. I didn't know they existed.

For the last few months I've been drinking PJ's Anniversary Blend. It's a medium roast but is a full-bodied blend. It does pretty good in my Bialetti stove top espresso maker. Before I started drinking the PJ's blend I was buying the Kona blend from Fresh Market, it cost a little less than the PJ's but I'd rather support a coffee shop. I drink Americano's almost exclusively because the "mouth-feel" of regular drip coffee just doesn't do it for me, I find that it's too watery. I owned a coffee shop for three years before moving here so I'm more or less a coffee bigot (I always assume the worst about coffee that's waiting around on me - I would much rather wait on good coffee). I have an old ulcer and acid reflux so I try to stay away from beans/blends with high acidity for everyday drinking. The process of drawing a shot of espresso vs. brewing regular drip cuts down on the acidity a good bit because there's less extraction time.
