Your favourite store-bought coffee?

[Evoman]

I have two current favourites:

1) Kick Ass coffee by Kicking Horse coffee. Dark, full-bodied, delicious. Little bit more expensive and you have to grind your own. Website: http://www.kickinghorsecoffee.com/

2) Edwards West Coast Dark. Pretty cheap mainstream coffee, but delicious nevertheless. I tried it after being dissatisfied with Nabob (ew) or Maxwell House (ick).

Your favs?

[NewWaveChick1981]

1. I'm currently on an Illy kick...

:bounce: :D I love the Medium Roast!

[bicentennial_baby]

2. I have no shame....

Chock Full o Nuts, NYC Blend.

[Inchworm]

3. Foldgers - columbian blend

it is always at the store and it is always the same :)

:hi:

[CreekDog]

16. It's always the same because it's synthetic

:P

[SKKY]

4. They have crap coffee at the commissary here on base...

...so I buy a Spanish brand called Catunambu which is very good.

[BOSSHOG]

6. Hey shipmate

We always bought commissary coffee for the Mess (dirt cheap,) but I had a coffeepot in my office with the good stuff. I got lots of visitors.

[SKKY]

13. That's why I don't have one...

...because everyone will show up, and yet not chip in anything. I bring my coffee to work in a thermos. We're supposed to be getting better coffee at the commissary soon (Starbuck's or Seattle's best I think), but other than that, just the normal boring Foldgers, Yuban, etc.

[Evoman]

7. What kind of coffee is it?

[SKKY]

14. Foldgers, Yuban, etc....

...I like something a bit stronger and with a bigger bite. I've even tried running Foldgers through my espresso machine and it still comes out weak.

[BOSSHOG]

5. Community Club - New Orleans Blend

[Evoman]

8. Do you get that at the supermarket?

Never heard of it.

[BOSSHOG]

9. Its sold in grocery stores

in Mississippi and Louisiana. Don't know if its retailed elsewhere. Its a nice flavorful cup. We've gotten the occasional dunken donuts bag of coffee, but always migrate back to Community.

11. Graffeo Coffee Roasting Company

Light, dark, and decaffeinated, why complicate things? The blend of the actual beads has changed little over the decades. They roast their own beans and don't let them sit around in a warehouse for a month before selling them. For years, the lions-share of their business has been the finer restaurants in the San Francisco bay area. Two stores; one in North Beach, San Francisco, the other in downtown San Rafael.

To score a pound of freshly ground beans that are still warm is truly special.

[MilesColtrane]

12. Back when I was still able to drink it,...

...if I was in a pinch and out of beans to grind, I'd get a can of Melitta.

Not bad.

[CTyankee]

15. Peet's is the new "in" coffee I understand, but not as good as Illy's.

Ernesto Illy was quoted as saying that "Starbucks coffee tastes like a fire brigade put out the roasted beans." Gotta love that!

[azmouse]

19. Illy is the best coffee I've tried.

Rich and delicious. Even Mr Mouse likes it and he's not much of a coffee drinker.

[CTyankee]

22. Not to make you envious, mind you, but I am going to Torino, Italia in May.

I will be visiting one of the 5 top coffee houses in Turin, "al Bicerin." It dates back to the 18th century and some of its "customers" include Napoleon and Freud! They have a drink called the "bicerin," a calorie bomb with coffee, chocolate and heavy cream.

I will think of my DU friends as I sip this incredible coffee near the market in Porto Palazzo...

[AlCzervik]

17. Melita.

[Iggo]

18. Pinche Yuban.

Don't know why....just what I buy.

[Sequoia]

20. 8 O'Clock Coffee, from the A&P Store back in the day.

I haven't seen it in years though as it is not a west coast item.

[proud2BlibKansan]

26. They used to sell it here in other stores

We lost all our A&Ps a long time ago but you could still buy 8 O'Clock Coffee at many other stores. But I haven't seen it in a year or so.

[Blue Diadem]

33. They still carry it around here. Meijer and other stores have it.

That's been one of our favorites too.

[Digit]

39. 8 O'Clock is my favorite brand..you can find it at...

Food Lion
Kroger
and possibly Harris Teeter...

at least here in NC

I know there used to be Safeway stores in San Diego, so since they are
also in the east, try requesting they carry it.

[redqueen]

21. I don't buy coffee... and I'm not so partial to any brands...

but I do recommend Kenyan, Sumatran, and Costa Rican.

[yellowdogintexas]

23. Pick of the Harvest..Jeremiah's Pick. Sold at Central Market in Texas

and I am sure other places but it is Fair Trade coffee and the varieties vary seasonally and I have enjoyed them all.

[Sanctified]

24. Trader Joe's Organic Breakfast Blend.

I love it and it's fair trade.

[proud2BlibKansan]

25. I love Folgers Gourmet Supreme

but recently I discovered Black Silk. It's very good.

[DemReadingDU]

37. The Folgers Black Silk is good

[fizzgig]

27. french market

we always had it on the weekends when i was growing up. it's also what my grandmother makes, so i always look forward to a few cups of coffee and some cookies/cake/pastry/whatever when i go visit

[Mutley]

28. Dunkin Donuts is damn good

and affordable, too. My local grocery store just started carrying it, too.

[Akoto]

29. My folks love Dunkin Donuts coffee.

I don't drink coffee, but they often go to Dunkin for the coffee as their night out. :)

[Mutley]

30. I've done that many times.

:D

[Xipe Totec]

32. We buy it in two pound bags

and go through about a pound a week.

I love Dunkin Donuts coffee, especially the hazelnut flavored kind.

[LTR]

42. Ahhh... "Black Lightning"

DD is great coffee. Nothing fancy, just plain dark coffee that will keep you up for days. I got hooked on it years ago when I had a third shift job.

I prefer the straight Columbian, black (no cream, no sugar, etc.).

I still buy it on occasion (whenever I can actually find a DD around here) but I know someone who works at Starbucks who's always getting free bags (she doesn't drink coffee), so she keeps bringing them over to me. Not that I'm complaining at all...

[Raven]

31. Folgers, Black Silk, a new one. n/t

[Evoman]

34. I guess a lot of people seem to like Foldgers.

:shrug: I find it barely drinkable.

[rug]

35. The Heavenly Coffee

[peacefreak]

38. I like it too

And when I can afford it, I buy Luziane. Gave up Dunkin Donuts when I found out it was owned by the Carlyle Group (*Sr.)

[JitterbugPerfume]

36. Yuban amd Meijers brand--

both fair trade

[Roon]

40. Kroger's store brand

3.95 a large can. Can't beat that! That is how much a cup of coffee costs at Star Bucks.
