Which Brand of Coffee Do You Buy??

[Steve S]

Speaking of coffee what brand do you guys buy? Do you grind your own?

[2014Fuzion300]

We try to buy Costa Rican coffee.
It is the best! If not we buy Starbucks or Dunkin' Donuts!

Folgers. Its what my wife likes.

[Javi]

Folgers or Maxwell House cause the DW says so...

I'm getting a single cup thingy for Christmas so I can drink real coffee and not the floor sweepings she likes. "bouncey:

Folgers with french vanilla creamer....always folgers..

[B&T]

Folgers Colombian medium roast is my preference for filling my own k-cups

[michol02]

French Market with chicory at work, and various Keurig cups at home.:D

[JRTJH]

The one thing I refused to give up when we moved to Michigan from Louisiana was "MY" Community coffee. We order it 10 bricks at a time from Community Coffee. There are several "roasts" available, but for everyday coffee, the "between roast" seems to be best for most people. I prefer the Dark Roast with Chicory for special occasions. When we visit relatives around the area, both my DW and I really enjoy getting back to the camper and having a real cup of coffee after the "see through" stuff most serve up here :D

[x96mnn]

Tim Hortons Kcup

[Dhuhn]

I use folgers columbia supreme. It's what I like

[Tigerbite]

Community breakfast blend, a medium roast Lousiana coffee. DW goes mostly for CDM, which is the coffee served at the famous Cafe Du Monde in New Orleans.

[Steve S]

I grind my own, anything foreign works for me. I can't use cream in my coffee or my dog drinks it! lol!
My GF makes coffee so strong that it can burn steel! I have to make it has to be perfect at 5 am.

[theeyres]

We try to buy Costa Rican coffee.
It is the best! If not we buy Starbucks or Dunkin' Donuts!

I also love Costa Rican coffee but have given up buying it as I cannot find any that's any good. I used to order it direct from Costa Rica but shipping got to be too much. Any suggestions?

[2014Fuzion300]

We buy different brands...
Montaña, Café 1820, Dorado, Rey,Leyenda, Britt ,etc.
We love Café Britt Dark Roast.

Not cheap but you get what you pay for!

I still remember when I was driving for a living, stopping in a truckstop in Mississippi or Louisiana and the waitress asking me "Y'all want Yankee coffee"? I guess if you grew up with it it's okay but coffee is coffee and chicory is chicory and it does not belong in my coffee. I prefer Hawaiian (Kona pea berry)coffee but it has been very scarce due to last years bad crop and most blends are only 10% anyway. So my second choice is Costa Rican. I do grind my own beans but like the convenience of the Kcups so I use the Melita Kcup thinga-ma-jig and I'm happy. Strong, black, hot coffee in the morning ..... adding milk, cream, flavors, sugar or sweeteners is sacrilegious. After all this .. if desperate I will drink anything but Maxwell House. Ooooooh I want a cup now but won't sleep. Now I'm looking forward to morning, Hank

Hmmmm, If the spoon won't stand up in the cup, then the coffee is too weak LOL. But really, like "cane syrup", chicory is an acquired taste. When you first drink a cup, if you're not expecting it, it is definitely a "surprise" LOL

We also special order our syrup, Blackburn's cane syrup (It's processed in Texas). Somehow, pancakes with that "waffle syrup" made from beets just isn't a replacement for the richer "almost caramelized in the big cast iron pot" cane syrup that used to be made right in the cane fields. There's a pressing station/cooking shed on Old LA 1 between Batchelor and Innis. It's not used any more, but the cane is still grown there and now pressed at another nearby processing plant.

What could be better to go with that dark roast with chicory than some fresh smoked ham (or tasso if you can get it), eggs, grits, fresh biscuits with real butter and some real cane syrup to dip the biscuits in??? I just ate my "cheerios and skim milk" and now I'm hungry again..... :rolleyes:

[Andymon]

My first choice is Sumatra to grind. The second is Folgers Breakfast Blend.

You can get both types in K cups ..... Problem solved. We use a stove top perk while on the road and the K cup while in a site. Best of both worlds.

I agree, but those darn K cups are really pricey!
We'll be at a permanent camping site all year round.
We do have a "my k cup" to use with your own grounds, maybe then I could still buy my ground Folders and only use the Keurig in the camper.

I'll have to give it a try at home.(tx)

[filmtex]

We have been buying Ruta Maya shade grown, fair-trade, Chiapa Mexico coffee for years. I first had it in a small cafe in Southtown, San Antonio and have been drinking it ever since. We buy it in 1 kilo bags from Costco.

I buy tim hortons coffee and i have a tim hortons (home version) machine in my trailer.

[cathcartww]

We prefer 100% Colombian, and watch for whatever brand is on sale - if nobody has it on sale, Walmart usually has it at a fair price. Buy it already ground, as we go through it pretty quick, and haven't been able to tell the difference. We brew in a Melita pour over funnel with a thermos like this :

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0080J2N8A/?tag=triskateland-20

which uses no electricity (just heat the water with propane or campfire) and the only waste is the spent coffee grounds and the paper filter.

[floatflyer]

I got spoiled by a small local roasting operation's Costa Rican some years ago until they folded because new regulations required very expensive smoke control equipment. I couldn't find any commercially available coffee I liked but I did discover the home roasting community. I have a one pound home roaster about the size of a toaster oven and buy green beans to roast at home. Coffee doesn't get fresher than that. I drink coffee straight black and a medium roast is the best balance of flavor for my taste. My preference is generally Costa Rican or Panamanian very high altitude grown small lots but other Central American sources can also be good. I have been doing it for about six years and it's a nice hobby. Most people say it's the best they ever tasted. Probably because it's never more than a week old.

Torke'
Grew up in Sheboygan and spent about a year working in a factory one block away. Never forgot the smell of those beans roasting! For the past few years I was buying green and roasting them myself but when I spotted Torke' roasted whole beans at the grocery store a while back I picked up the bag and gave it a sniff and it was all over. If I ever move out of the area I'd have to order on-line.

Not to hijack the coffee thread but since John mentioned Louisiana cane syrup I thought I would add this old pic. This is a "family syrup mill". The cane is in the wagon and is being squeezed by the horse powered press. Then the liquid is reduced to syrup in the big wood fired pot under the shed.

I like starbucks and grind my own if we have electricity, if not I grind a bunch before we leave. Always boil water in a tea kettle and pour over the grounds in my Melita. No coffee pots and no extra trash those little keurigs create. They will be the next water bottles in the landfills. That's what I have against them but I am sure they are nice and convenient.

Went out and bought me several of their roast choices, will get to try them Christmas morning. Can't wait.

We hit Costco and purchase the big 2 kg bag of Starbucks for 16.00 and grind our own. Good quality coffee

I have to agree with you.
I love the smell of the ground beans, and I really like coffee ice cream, the coffee is just so bitter. I could probably drink it if I had to by putting tons of cream and sugar in it.

I'm with you. We bought one for the trailer, because we liked the one we have in our house so much. I've been drinking Folgers forever, and got to the point I didn't like it. My wife bought the Keurig, and I haven't had a bad cup yet.

She likes the French roast ,and I like the house brand. Best coffee ever.

I will second that, just with Diet Dew. I do like the smell of coffee brewing, just never acquired a taste for it. I bought the DW some Tim Hortons K Cups for Santa to put in her stocking. She said it taste better than the brew at Tim Hortons and is the best from the Keurig so far.

My wife loves her Keurig. Its really convenient to brew only one cup oppose to a whole pot for one cup.

Ouch! That brings up some memories too embarrassing to admit too!

Folgers or Starbucks. It depends on whether we are alone or camping with family/friends. Oddly, I get the Starbucks when we are with the family/friends and drink the cheap Folgers when it is just me the DW.

I'm wondering what in the world they were drinking! It certainly wasn't a properly brewed premium coffee!

[jamesfamilytx]

HEB grocery (Texas company) has its own brand and it's good! I like the San Antonio blend (hint of cinnamon) but their Breakfast blend also is tasty. I'm not a fan of super dark roast--both of these are light/medium. K-cups at home, but in the trailer, we use this sweet little drip pot. It's at least 50 years old and I got it from my Grandpa Joe's hunting shack after he died. Makes two good sized delicious cups. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/01/21/y5u8ezuq.jpg

I like Dunkin Donuts coffee, nothing fancy, just a good cup of coffee. I have a Senseo coffee maker and I haven't found pods for DD yet. I know you can make your own, but you can make your own beer, too. I'm getting lazy and prefer to let someone else do that and just enjoy it. :D

I have owned two Oster grinders for nearly 20 years. One I gave to my daughter and the other I have. Both are still going strong.

[Essness]

Papa Nicholas Columbian Supremo whole bean,
http://www.papanicholas.com/
I grind and brew a pot (8 cups) every morning. I have the same maker at home and in the camper. It brews into a thermo pot so it doesn't bake it down to mud.
if for any reason I can't get Papa Nicholas, I'll get Dunkin.
I drink it black and only in the morning.

I have 2 grinders, one is by Krups (sp?) And the other is by Braun, both are at least 20 years old. The Krups seems like it could use new or sharper blades............

So I'm still looking for a grinder and what I'm finding is there's so many and it confuses me so it's on my wife's bucket list now.
K back to coffee:) I bought the big bag of coffee beans last night for $16.00, the big can of ground coffee was $12.00. A nosy lady beside me said that the ground stuff was a better deal. So I told her that I like to grind my own coffee as it just seems like the right thing to do"bouncey:
I think I'm going to ask D about this as she has common sense about these things.

If you are in a hurry to get a package from Amazon, stay away from the free shipping. They call it Smart Post. Somehow, FedEx has hooked up the the USPS, which was never famous for efficiency anyway, to add a whole new dimension to parcel delivery. According to FedEx tracking, my box was handed off to the Post Office on Monday. Here it is Friday, the PO site says it arrived today, and estimated delivery for tomorrow. Five days to scan in a box and get it on the truck for delivery? Really? Do yourselves a favor and pay a few bucks for Ground.

But every few months they need anther rate hike :confused: And of course, dont forget to get your "forever stamps". Surely that's not a flawed business plan :eek:

[Bob Landry]

To take a product or service that has diminishing demand and then start charging more for it sure sounds like a sound business plan to me.

I have no idea how my initial post about this ended up in that thread about coffee. I thought I started a new thread, maybe a senior moment.. Apologies to all, no hijack intended..

[JRTJH]

Not to worry, Bob. Hijacked or not, most "coffee" or "coffee grinders" are available on Amazon, so it's relevant ... Sort of... LOL

Kind of like a new restaurant charging $100 for a steak and only getting one customer a week. When asked why they don't lower their prices to attract new customers, they respond with, "If we reduce our prices, we won't be able to pay the staff" Where's the "bullet to the toes" in that??????

One of the hardest concepts I tried to instill while in the military was to the Officer's Club management... I could never get them to understand that if they would reduce prices to compete with downtown, they would be full on Friday and Saturday evenings with members who wanted to support their club, but couldn't justify feeding their family for $1o0 when they could do it downtown at Red Lobster, Olive Garden, etc for less than $50...... They seemed to want to maintain the expensive pricing to create "exclusivity" and "ambiance" LOL only problem was, it created empty exclusiveness" sort of like the USPS

anyway................... Now I've gone and hijacked the thread......<sigh>

[Steve S]

So I simply asked what's a better deal, coffee beans which I like to grind or pre-ground coffee.
So the way I understand it Bob says that I have to buy my beans from Amazon, pay some strange shipping that doesn't work and wait weeks till I get my bean so I can make a coffee? Am I doing something wrong by zipping up the road to buy a bag of beans?
John, do you want me to eat at Red Robins and spend $100.00 on dinner just to have a coffee? Do I really know that they grind their own beans there?
Wow, all I want is a simple life which I have, a simple coffee grinder and a coffee but now I'm really confused:confused::D:p

Steve -
If you really want a "simple life", go out and buy the beans that you like and grind them up in a coffee grinder that you can afford and like.

Zip down the road, buy your beans, take them home, grind them, and make your coffee.

Why does this have to be so complicated and confusing? Really. Forget the "nosey lady" next door. Just make your coffee and get the thread back on track........"Which brand of coffee do you buy??"" Thank you.

[Steve S]

That's ok Bob, I was smiling and laughing while I read that as I was wondering what was going on:)
I did get my bag of coffee beans and D just explained to me that grinding beans is fresher, a bit more expensive but it's the way I like it so things are all good.:)

[fla-gypsy]

The cost of anything must always be compared to the value derived from it. In my case I wouldn't drink the swill that comes pre ground. Freshly ground and brewed coffee is one of my great pleasures in life.
