Coffee Anyone?

[DesmoDucRob]

...and this is not a starbucks open carry thread.

I've been enjoying quite a bit of coffee lately, and noticed that the shooting community as a whole seems to have a similar interest when it comes to beverages. I guess it's because we can't enjoy a few cold ones before running through a USPSA match, or a sporting clays course.

So here's the question: What's your favorite cup of joe? My absolute favorite is Blue Mountain, found in Jamaica, but I'm faithfull to my 4-6 daily cups of Community dark roast in the office. My third place would have to be my new discovery of Target's store-brand whole-bean arabica. I typically grind it fresh, to start my weekends.

Everyone else?

I've tried a lot of coffees, but I keep coming back to Community through a french press... and a french press only!

Community- when at all possible.

If it's not available, I'd make do with whatever's there. But if I have a choice, I gotta go with the home team.

Community. If I can see the bottom of my cup, it wasent made right.

For a smooth cup put your water through a britta filter what a change, Community first choice.

I enjoy community coffee as well. I like the Between roast and the Dark roast. Every now and then I drink some with Cafe Du Monde chickory coffee. I enjoy that as well. That Blue mountain coffee I have never tried but at that price with how much I drink I don't want to try it.

On average I am a pot a day guy. Somtimes two pots. I like mine with a little bit of fat free cream (seems like an oxymoron) and no sugar or one sugar (the real stuff)

And I use only filter water like was suggested above. I can really taste the difference. I am going to move towards a french press or percolator one of these days but you can't beat the convenience of a coffee pot with a timer. It is nice waking up to a fresh pot already made.

I thought about joining a coffee forum because I don't know much but I enjoy the taste of coffee a great deal. I don't really know how to describe the taste however so I can't explain to individuals what I like so I can get suggestions. Taste is a unique sense to describe...... It just never comes out correctly

The closest I want to come to coffee is Kahlua!

I almost feel bad leaving my old college stand-by: Cafe du Monde. In Natchitoches, the local grocery store carried it as a "discount brand". I still don't get that, but that chicory flavor brings me back.

Saw this on CBS thought I would add it to the thread. Something to support our habits........ http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/07/06/earlyshow/main5136373.shtml

It is funny you say that because the only reason I switched away from the chicory was because everywhere else I went and drank coffee it tasted strange so I figured might as well get used to the norm and treat myself with something different.

Community Dark Roast, or their Carnival Cake flavored.

However I have crawled through hell this week. I'm usually a 12 cup pot drinker. I got busy packing, skipped a day. Suffice to say it's been years since I've had a migraine that strong.

I haven't had a cup in three days now. If something like that makes me hurt as bad as it did, it's an addiction I need to break. After detoxing I'll readjust to a two cup daily limit.

I am glad to see this thread come up. My son owns a Christian Book store . I have been approaching him to start serving Starbucks coffee which can be bought from the internet. My purpose is to use as a draw to the store. I hardy ever get anywhere that serves Starbucks, but do enjoy the coffee.

What sort of input can I get from all of you as we don't have a Starbucks within the whole parish?
I am not interested in a Starbucks' franchise.
This morning we had to leave home early to beat traffic ,in short we pulled into a Sonic for a cup to go. I have not tasted such a bad coffee since my military days .

My sister works at PJ's so I have PJ's coffee in some form at least once a day.

Costa Rican Tarrazu - best bean on the planet. Try Cafe Brit's, it will change your life.

Damn I woulda bet money nobody on here drank my brand, I also like the Winn and Lovett Costa Rican High mountain grown, their Sumatra Mandheling is pretty damn good too, but neither as mild as Tarrazu

 

[scubasteve]

Community Dark Roast or Bonus Blend Dark. Shot of milk and a tad sugar. I don't do chicory. Nasty, just a weed that the ol' folks used to "cut" their coffee to stretch it out.

Sumatran Mandelhing, Kenyan AA, Jamaican Blue - all are VERY good cups of coffee. I very much enjoy a cup of Community when brewed correctly (and don't ask what that is. If I knew I'd be brewing it.), but my all-time favorite is Bustelo. My Cuban wife introduced it to me, and it's best when brewed in a cafetera. Me, I brew it in a coffee-maker, and it's not the same, but still excellent. The Spanish just seem to have a way with coffee. Pilon and Cafe La Llava are also good, but Bustelo is my fave. I buy 18 cans at a time to get the discount. Bustelo is delicious with a sharp edge ameliorated by cream. Damn good.

Home made is Community. A 50/50 mixture of chicory and hazelnut. On occasion i'll get a caramel macchiato at Starbuck's.
