What is the best type of brew at home coffee?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 91/100. Katesmama (3210)   ranked 1 out of 29 in coffee addict 4 years ago

I am new to brewing coffe at home, and have been experimenting with different flavors. I generally like strong flavor, because I add a lot to the coffee. I've tried a Columbian roast, and that was pretty good, Folgers I think. At home right now, I have Folger's Chocolate Silk, and it smells better that it tastes, but its still good. What kind of coffee do you brew at home? What's your favorite kind to have at home?

Ha :))) thats cheating B! LMAO My husband is a straight strong black coffee drinker and he prefers Maxwell House's breakfast blend or classic roast. I have to buy dry powders if I want some extra flavor in my coffee. My first cup of the morning however is black, have to get the blood pumping and the eyes open fast most of the time...

This one's been in my noggin for a little bit now, I jsut try to not start too much that I get totally backlogged, like I did with that fruit discussion. I'm not so great at watching discussion like I used to be, so I try to manage it better. YOU did give it a nudge though. thumbup


myLot reputation of 89/100. Angelwhispers (4603)  4 years ago

Yeah I am the same, I do not start more than one or two at the same time... hard to keep up with them and post to friends discussions as well.

We always use folgers coffee most of the time. Every now and then we drink Maxwell House. We used to brew ours through a coffee maker but it never lasted very long. We have very hard water in our area. That tore the coffee maker up. My mother-in-law gave us a bun to use to brew coffee in. We love it and it catches the hard water in a filter. It has lasted us a long time. It is very fast brewing also.

Hands down- Dunkin Donuts coffee is the best. The bad part is that it is expensive unless it's on sale. 8.99 a bag, I think it's just a pound but you don't really have to use that much of it, it's pretty strong and the flavor is nice.


myLot reputation of 91/100. Katesmama (3210)   ranked 1 out of 29 in coffee addict  4 years ago

I've not tried Dunkin Donuts coffee, its Krispy Kreme country around here. I'll look for it though!

Krispy Kreme has the donut market covered but coffee from Dunkin Donuts is really good!

I can't seem to do it right at home. It just tastes abominable. I wait till I get to work and hit the vending machine. It has a marvelous French Vanilla Capuccino that gets me moving in the morning.
I would love someone to explain to me how to make coffee in my little coffee maker so I can save some money.
I have a little 4 cup maker and I just can't get it right.
I have tried Papa Nicholas coffee, several varieties. I tend to like the cinnamon, vanilla and chocolate varieties.


myLot reputation of 91/100. Katesmama (3210)   ranked 1 out of 29 in coffee addict  4 years ago

I've never heard of papa nicholas, I'll look for it.

I have a four cup maker too, and I just brew it strong (three heaping tablespoons) and flavor it up with soy milk or creamer.


myLot reputation of 99/100. Trace86 (3618)   ranked 14 out of 29 in coffee addict  4 years ago

Thank you for the advice! I will try the 4 spoonfuls and see how it works. I love my coffee and really need it to get me going. The bottled ones are just so expensive!

My all time favourite is definately Jamaican Blue Mountain and whenever we were there on vacation we ALWAYS brought some hoem with us since it was pretty impossible to find in Canada where I lived and its pricey anyway....all other coffees just taste like coffee to me LOL

I use Medaglia D'Oro, an Italian espresso. I don't have an espresso machine so I put it in my drip coffee maker, 1.5 measures per 4 cups. It's strong and tastes wonderful with a slightly smokey taste that's absolutely delicious. Nothing added, I don't want to alter the taste!

Hello my friend Katesmama Ji,
I am fond of taking Tea, instead coffee. But I do not deslike, if some on eoffers, I take happily. I am fond of taking Brook-Bond/Darjeeling tea. When I was in West-Bengal (india), I used to pluck fresh leaves from the garden and make tea. It gave different taste. have a nice time.
