Are you Picky about the blend or brand of your COFFEE?  email this discussion to a friend?

This is a personal question, I know. Are you someone who shops and may buy the occasional gourmet blend that is on sale, but then stick to Chock-Full-O' Nuts Brand when you can't afford the others? I tend to be such a person. Don't get me wrong, I DO love coffee. But I think my all-time favorite everyday coffee is Chock-Full-O-nuts! It actually doesn't have any "Nuts" in it. But it is a popular NY brand that has been around since the 20's. It IS the "Heaven;y coffee."
I do Like 8-0'clock Bean as well. If Starbucks is on sale, I will buy that. But, really, I could survive on Chock-Full-O Nuts quite well.
Question: What is your all around bargain basement favorite? Or, are you a coffee snob or slu+? Someone who will do ANYTHING for gourmet coffee? Please DO tell!

For the most part I buy Folger's Classic Roast. I also like that brand of gourmet roast. I rarely buy Starbuck's brand even if it's on sale. I will buy the gourmet coffees (like at Walmart) in the small packages. I have found that they are usually a little on the strong side by themselves, but I add a little to my regular coffee when I brew it, and it gives it just enough of the flavor. I also buy the flavored creamers. I love the new Skinny Carmel Macchito.

I am buying only green coffee beans (only arabicas from Colombia) and I am roasting them each week to get my own flavor. Maybe I'm a coffee snob rasp ?

The coffee is not my main drink. I occasionally drink it and I won't drink it so often, because I am afraid I will be sleepless at night. Therefore, I don't know much about coffee and I am not picky to the coffee. Usually a cup of instant coffee will be good enough for me:)

I love Chinathumbupthumbupthumbup

i love coffee a lot and it starts my day, everyday. but i am not choosy with the brand or its blend. what we have in the house is instant coffee that we only need a hot water and sugar. if there is a cream, then it will be great. have a nice day Neil

Well I'm not very choosy when it comes to coffee. I drink it for the taste of caffeine anyway so there's no big deal in that. But of course, I still like drinking coffee that suits my taste buds well. Starbucks and all the other fancy coffee for me has unnecessary ingredients with them which makes them taste a bit too commercialized. That's why I prefer a good old cup of dunkin donuts coffee or my own blend of coffee at home.

I just go for the cheapest... usually the supermarket own 'value' band. I dont really stop off to buy cups of coffee in the likes of Starbucks unless I'm out with a friend.

I had the best coffee in the world when I was drinking Que Buen Cafe! Unfortunately they stopped making it a few years ago. Then I really like Medaglia D'Oro, and Italian espresso, but stores quit carrying it, too. Now I drink mediocre Cafe Bustelo, a Mexican espresso, which is rather tasty but nothing like the other two.

This morning I'm trying a pot of Ethiopian coffee and I'm disappointed. I'm not a coffee snob but I can't stand the swill that fills the supermarket shelves! I want a strong and flavorful coffee that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. I'd like to try Jamaican Blue Mountain but it's very expensive and most of it is a blend with just a little of the good stuff in it. I think I'll try Costa Rican next.


myLot reputation of 94/100. coffeegurl (956)   ranked 48 out of 530 in coffee  2 years ago

O Costa RIca has the best climate and soil for coffee production. I really like Terrazu from Costa Rica. That is one of my favorite Primo brands.


myLot reputation of 97/100. dragon54u (15681)  2 years ago

I've heard good things about Terrazu. Is there a particular store you buy it from?

I'm going to have to go to the "big city" about 40 miles away and look for some stores that sell decent coffee.

I prefer Folger's Black Silk, but if necessary will get Maxwell House if my choice is not on sale. Some time ago I tried Chock full of Nuts and hated the taste. Starbucks is OK but too strong for me. Folgers is smoother to me and the Black Silk seems to have less acid, so I really will try to find that on sale before switching brands.


myLot reputation of 94/100. coffeegurl (956)   ranked 48 out of 530 in coffee  2 years ago

Black Silk Huh? I like low acid cofees. Maybe I will try that one. After all, you know what they say, "Once you go BLACK, you don't go back!"
