Recommend Me a Coffee

[captainsousie]

I recommend ordering from Coal Creek Coffee Company in one of my old home towns. Give them a call if you want more info on blends and they will ship to you.

I drink Death Wish Cold Brew. It packs 300 mg of caffeine. On a busy day I’ll churn through 3 of them.

I really like Volcanica out of Suwanee, GA. Have had their Colombian Supremo and Colombian Peaberry, which are both excellent medium roasts, and taste great out of the French press. They do 120 different blends, so there is quite the variety! Also, they can be conveniently ordered on Amazon, and a lot of times arrive freshly roasted with a packaged date stamped on the container

My local Publix carries 4-5 Cuban expresso coffees that I have used in both the press and stove top expresso maker. Cafe Bustelo Supreme is nice.

For several years my daily coffee is some sort of dark roast like a Peets Major Dickason's blend or a Starbuck Caffe Verona coupled with warmed frothed heavy wiping cream.

Been ordering this one through Amazon for quite some time.

Organic Light Roast

If it’s in your region, Meijer store brand organic French Roast whole bean. Great for coffee, good enough for espresso. I don’t know who makes it but the bean is oily and it isn’t too bitter, delicious cup.

I guess we don’t have those. Never even heard of it.

They’ll ship!

Peetes French roast is as light as I go. It's my weekday blend pressed or stove top espresso. Weekends I break out the cezve for the Najjar I get at a local middle eastern store.

We just need to find the coffee forum and determine who the coffee equivalent of JimInks is!

 

[Sweet Home Alabama]

Someone needs to organize a blind taste test of a dozen or so blends. Some excellent suggestions so far but curios what I would choose without guidance or subliminal pressure...

And if that happens, please no "what coffee cup are you using" thread...LOL!!

 

[carolinasmokes]

Community and Mello Joy Dark Roast are excellent Cajun coffees and what I grew up on in Louisiana. I drink Community Coffee to this day,

If Kicking Horse is available I would recommend giving their Kick Ass or Grizzly Claw a go.

There are lots of great coffee roasters out there. Most will roast on the day they ship and you'll get it within days of roasting. These are the ones I use the most:

I have been roasting my own coffee so lately, I have gotten to try coffees from all over the world. I thought I disliked lighter roasts, but I'd always been a cream and sugar guy, and I think the acidity went poorly with those additions. Now that I have been drinking my coffee black, I find the lively and naturally sweet nature of light and medium roasts to be pretty charming... And the coffees that have really opened my eyes to this are those from East Africa. Several people have mentioned Ethiopia, which I have enjoyed as well, but I am going to suggest you also try something from Burundi or Rwanda. I've had several and loved them. I'm not sure if it makes any difference with roasted beans, but green coffee beans from Burundi and Rwanda are also pretty consistently $1-2 cheaper per pound than their more famous Ethiopian an Kenyan cousins.

Colombians can also be a nice choice, as they have some sweetness, but they're a bit more balanced I think than those from East Africa.

Hmm, I don't think I've tried anything from Africa yet. I'll have to add some on my next order to scope out.

I was served coffee in Columbia. It already had cream and sugar added. I admit to being surprised.
