Coffee

MorganGeo

I enjoy coffee so much. I love trying new brands and whatnot. I especially love pairing a cigar with a coffee. Especially a Cameroon. I thought it would be neat to see what coffees you all drink? Any special to your location?

I have been stuck on Sumatra and Millstone's Fog Lifter for a number of years now. I turn the pot off as soon as the brewing is complete because I refuse to drink burnt coffee. Much rather make ice coffee from what is left. Also, I am not a purest and I use Irish Cream because good coffee will always come through.

After getting some for a gift, I've ordered from Big Water Coffee Roasters, Bayfield, WI (www.bigwatercoffee.com). I've had the Sea Smoke Blend (smooooth!) and the Wet Devil decaf, which is no doubt the best decaf I've had. Just ordered some of the Red Beard Espresso Blend.

Nothing quite like some Blue Mountain coffee from Jamaica.

well you hit my sweet spot coffee's, i drink 3 bands starbucks, hawaiian roasters, and coffee bean direct,
i have mainly alot of latin type but have a few others i like, casi cielo, santos brazilian, guatemala, columbian,estima, jamaican blue mountain, kona, and a lot more, all whole coffee bean, i grind my own, and buy the 5lb bags.
since i dont drink heavy liquors other then cognac every so often, my cigar smoking is matched to my coffee's, nothing like a good cup of coffee and a good cigar to get the day going.

Nothing complicated for me. One cup of decaf per day with some coffee mate

I picked up a french press and a grinder about a month ago and am just starting to explore this world, so far starbucks house blend, Peet's dark french roast, Cafe Ole Hawaiian.

Me too, but I have to limit myself to 4 cups (2 big ones) a day,,, cant go back to the crappy stuff. Oh and I like it straight

We have a great little local coffee roaster in Bellingham called Woods. Drink a couple cups a day made with freshly ground beans in a French press. I guess I am a coffee snob...oh man, I never thought about that....but i am from Seattle and have a gold card from Starbucks...I think I shouldn't have admitted that!

I like Stumptown out of Portland, but my favorite locally is a place called Sunnyside Up. Their Lava Java, Komodo, Polar and one other that I can't think of are awesome. Sometimes the best part of my day is the 10 am coffee run. The only thing I don't like is the place is also popular with the hippies and retirees with nothing else to do but take an hour to order a basic cup of coffee. (Yes, I'm sorry IT IS, IN FACT, TOO MUCH TO ASK for them to grind a new batch and allow you to check for the specific ground size you prefer and only then brew your particular cup of coffee when there are 15 of us behind you).

Whole bean Rwandan or Sumatra, a good burr grinder(not a big fan of the cheap grinders with blades, too inconsistent...), a quality French Press, filtered water and a splash of sweet cream. Heaven in my cup!

I just had a vision of you drinking three cups of espresso and then wailing away behind your kit like Animal on cocaine... LMAO!!!!

Mmm....a man after my own heart.
I love a good Sumatra bean.


Tried something new this month though & I'm thoroughly enjoyin' a Costa Rican Vienna bean in the pourover. And yes, nice burr grinder....can't go wrong.

This is my feelings as well. Seems this stuff goes with anything. Straight, creamer, sugar or combination of them. It just works.

And what New Boots said as well. I love trying different beans and I mostly drink it straight. Here lately I've been trying creamer. But not to much . Nice thread by the way.

Do you want something that will make a single serving (2 cups) at a time? Or something bigger that can make 6-8 cups at a time?

I love the Hawaiin Kona coffee. So delicious. Also, kicking horse is really good.

Since I completely missed this reply/question from John, he took matters into his own hands.
This came in the mail Saturday morning and I've been using it since I opened the package. So much easier to make a single travel cup or whatever mug you use and you can easily control the strength by changing the grind and amount of your favorite coffee. Thanks for the awesome gift, John!
