Dunkin' Doughnuts is the best regular coffee in my opinion. Smooth and not bitter. | |

Posted: 11/24/2011 6:29:27 AM | | At our Fresh Market you can find coffee's from other countries I must say that the Central American are the best. I spent a week in Managua and the coffee from there is best by far. Costa Rica has great coffee and so does Jamaica. For a USA manufacture you cannot go wrong with Community out of Baton Rouge. My favorite of theirs is Between Roast. | |

Posted: 11/27/2011 6:28:12 PM | A friend and i were discussing coffees the other day. A friend of his had a bizarre kind, it was called CATSHIT COFFEE. Not joking, its stupid expensive.....you can google it, i'm not "shittin'" you, lol.
Apparently, wild cats eat the berries and someone goes thru and picks them out, does all kinds of things to them to make them fit for humans and somehow, going thru a cats digestive tract makes for wesome coffee. Don't think I will be trying it but...... | |

Posted: 11/27/2011 7:38:22 PM | | Didn't equate the two as i haven't the foggiest notion what a civet is. I also didnt put them together because the bag my friend had said "CATSHIT COFFEE", didn't have any other fancy names, just that. So, pardon me | |

| Small coffee roasters - Looking for new coffee!
Posted: 12/9/2011 7:07:09 AM | Now I'm a huge fan of Dunkin Donuts coffee for my own personal reasons but out side of them I don't like major brand coffees like Seattle Best and Starbucks. Big name coffee when roasting will roast big batches to the point that all beans are roasted burning a good deal of them. Smaller roasting houses will roast smaller batches with more regular temp checks this will give you a better oil to acid ratio.
Buy a coffee grinder and keep it well wiped clean (a little bit of stale coffee will ruin a brew.) and buy whole bean this will extend the life of your coffee. You can grind for the week and keep the extra whole bean as well as the tubaware of self ground in the freezer or fridge. Coffee goes stale pretty quick. I worked in a Italian owned coffee and pastry house and we would only fill the grinder for what we would use for the day into the grinder.
I'm from the Western Washington area (Seattle and Northern WA) and there are just as many coffee roasters as there are micro breweries so variety is plentiful. I would highly recommend spending the money and going to a coffee expo. There you will find not only some of the big names but the smaller local roasters and you can talk to them ask them per a french press what size grind they suggest using.
Hopes this helps. | |

Posted: 6/19/2012 6:38:21 PM | Would you open a fresh bottle of water and splash in some milk cream before drinking the H2O? No, that would taste disgusting! Similarly, I don't think coffee needs need milk or cream.
To me, black coffee tastes no different with milk or cream mixed in. The beverage color just softens to a more traditional light shade of brown. But I think of the bottled water + cream example from above, and my coffee loses some of its appeal (because I'm drinking water and milk at the same time).
I don't taste acidity in black coffee. I do, however, mix in quite a load of sugar (ok, technically not 'black' coffee); so maybe that makes up for the lack of cream? (I also have to admit that bottled water with a ton of sugar wouldn't taste that appealing either, but it does with coffee). Any thoughts? | |
