Anything from Africa. I'm enjoying the some stuff from madagascar right now. Takes a few minutes to roast in the air popper, then grind and put through the aeropress for some seriously strong coffee. Best to wait about 3 days after roasting to let it calm down some. I try to roast up a few batches over the weekend and stay ahead.



I have a problem just doing things normal

Try the Peet's Brand K Cups. Do a dark or deep roast version. Their Major Dickason's and Sumatra are pretty good. But like all coffee, it's better brewed than out of the Kuerig (which isn't awful)

Someone clue me in on BlackRifle coffee and where to get some. Do they make a Mass Legal version?

Hey , Thanks. I'm a quality over quantity when it comes to coffee. Not a true coffee snob, if it's good, it's good. There's a gas station chain out here that sells it's own ground coffee. Tied Dunkin Donuts in a taste test.

I've been drinking my coffee out of a Keurig. I usually just buy Folger's Classic roast or the Black silk. I'd like to venture out to other brands and maybe a different way to make my coffee.

So, learn me. What's the best coffee? What's the best, and easy, way to make coffee? I don't want to get too fancy.

I've also just heard about the Black Rifle Coffee. Anyone try that?

Best and easiest don't go together usually!

 

[Dirtebiker]

I've been doing this

for a while. Really good stuff. It's roasted and gound cocoa beans. Yep. Real hot chocolate.

I mix it 50/50 with a good strong coffee. I'm not that particular about one brand or another. Folgers works for me.

I also add real irish butter instead of cream. It's heavenly.

How is it without coffee? I hate coffee but love chocolate!

I don't drink the stuff, but in my 30+ years in construction, I've always heard the coffee from White Castle was the best!?

Absolutely great. Try it. I think you will really like it. You'll need a wire mesh filter instead of a paper one.

I mix it most of the time with coffee because it's about $1 an ounce. But I do make it straight too. It's caffeine free so I can drink it closer to bed time and not have a hard time going to sleep. It has theobromine in it. Instead of a quick energy boost, then a crash, it's a more gentle increase and decrease.

Amazon is they only place I can find it up here. Some of the bigger Whole Foods stock it.

Keurig coffee isn't great... It's just incredibly convenient.

Convenience is what they sell. Also rather expensive. Often use the Keurig during the week and the convenience is my wife's preference all the time. Dunkin Donuts is what we currently have stocked.

Grinding beans and using a French press seems like a lot of work.

Get an AeroPress. The great flavor of French Press but really easy cleanup. Grinding is a pain too. If you are not a purist just buy freshly ground coffee from a local roaster (actual roaster, not a reseller). I just buy small quantities frequently.

 

[KittySlayer]

What all do you need if you wanted to do the French press method?

Just buy a cheap French Press and ask for your beans to be ground courser for a French Press. Otherwise just a kettle to boil water and a spoon to measure coffee. A good grinder is a bit expensive to "test out" a new method and you can buy it later.

I used to use a French Press until a friend got me hooked on the AeroPress.

I'm sure it's good but I just can't pry open my wallet enough to buy it. The price per lb is up there and the shipping cost just puts it way over the top for me.

Yes, I am frugal. I'll put it on my list next year when we do secret santa.

Panama Altura or similar high altitude coffee (Jamaican Blue mountain is one, as is Kona to a lesser extent). Medium body, full acidity (clean finish) with elevated caffeine

For some of the less widespread cultivars you need to find a coffee shop that roasts its own beans and can thus offer a wider variety (if their business model so dictates)

I usually just buy Folger's Classic roast or the Black silk.

I was drinking the same,then my brother turned me onto Yuban and haven't been back to Folgers since. Cheaper than the Folgers at Owens.
