Night Elf Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 What brand do you like best? Is it a brand that is advertised on tv like Folgers and Maxwell House, or something you special order? I usually drink the ones I've mentioned, but I would like to try something new. Something really good. I'm looking for a regular cup of coffee with cream and sugar, not espresso or anything that might make my hair stand up on end. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorCalMom Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 For our regular coffee maker, we love Dunkin Donuts. Costco and Sam's Club sell big bags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spryte Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 I used to love Dunkin Donuts. :) Now, I am addicted to Counter Culture. We have a bi-weekly subscription, so we get it freshly roasted. :) Freshly roasted makes a big difference. Toscano is my favorite, which is an espresso blend but I adore their coffee blends too! Yum. I want to try their new "farmhouse blend" actually, now that I've peeked at their website again. I love that they are in NC, and I think their business practices are sound - which is a big bonus. Here's their website: http://counterculturecoffee.com/home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinder Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Dh likes Dunkin Donuts. I like Seattle's Best #3. I think if you like Folgers you'd like Dunkin Donuts--it's a lighter roast and pretty smooth. I also like Kroger's Private Selection decaf hazelnut. Their other flavors are decent as well.

Thea Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 I live in the land of coffee-- I don't have a 'favorite' but I lean towards the darker roasts. Right now I'm drinking KIVU's French roast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*lifeoftheparty* Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 I also like Dunkin Donuts. My favorites though, it's a tie.... I couldn't decide which one I liked best, are both from Trader Joes. Kauai Coffee Bali Blue Moon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tammyw Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 We buy Trader Joe's Organic Morning Blend beans. We love it!

pooh bear Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Mostly I drink Folgers, but for my first cup of the day I like Seattle's Best #5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momof3littles Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 I like Central American coffees a lot. Some of my favorite coffees tend to be from Costa Rica or Guatemala. I think these are considered more acidic? Anyway, DH has helped me figure out what I like through the years and I find if we pick out a Central American coffee, I'm usually happy. We buy from Equal Exchange or similar (carried by WFs or co-op type places), or sometimes from Costco or Trader Joe's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaithManor Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Our preference is Tim Horton's. But since we drink two, sometimes three pots per day, we keep Folgers in the house so that coffee doesn't have to have a seperate line in the household budget! :D Faith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tap Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 (edited) We grind our own, so we always buy whole bean. Favorite: Kona coffee from Hawaii. I will research who wins the Kona Cup Coffee Awards each year and sometimes I will order from them for Christmas presents. Everyday: Costco's Seattle's Best. For Variety: Various specialty blends at Costco or sometimes Starbucks. Edited October 10, 2011 by Tap, tap, tap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paintedlady Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 For affordable coffees, Yuban is probably my favorite, and second would be Chock full o' Nuts. My very favorite, and not so affordable coffee, is Jamaica Blue Mountain. A friend went to Jamaica years ago and brought some back for me and I couldn't believe how wonderful it was. I've never found another brand that compared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i.love.lucy Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 I usually buy my grocery brand French roast. It's quite good and doesn't break the bank. I can't really taste the difference between it and Folgers, but it's cheaper. We also love Community Hotel Blend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nono Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 We don't drink tons of coffee, but we do drink it most days. We have a coffee maker that grinds the whole bean and then brews the coffee. We've become partial to Ola's, which we get on amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DawnM Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 I like Peet's coffee but really don't spend that much on a regular basis. I settle for the bags of Starbucks beans or Kirkland brand beans at Costco for my regular coffee. Kirkland brand says "roasted by Starbucks" on the label and really is similar to Starbucks breakfast blend. I prefer the French roast but it is double the price. Peets is even more! I rarely drink anything that comes out of a can if I can help it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatieJ Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 ON our first trip to Hawaii and a visit to a coffee plantation we pretty much became coffee adicts and snobs. :001_smile: Hawaiian is first choice, but wayyyyyyy too excpensive. We buy a local roaster brand at Costco now. However, when we feel like a splurge we drive 30 mins to a local roaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justamouse Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Starbucks, French Roast beans. We grind it here. Costco's beans are also good. I can't drink preground, the preservative on the grinds makes me sick -even the smell of it makes me nauseous. Dunkin Donuts? Get me past it ASAP. And, I hate that, too. I don't like being a coffee snob, but I don't like feeling sick worse. And, I didn't used to be this way, as we stopped using pregound I became extremely sensitive to it.

Shawna in Texas Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 I'm promiscuous when it comes to coffee. The only times I buy something I've bought before is when I'm in a hurry or not in the mood for something new (very rare). The ones I'd buy again: Caribou (a medium roast one, only with coupon) Cafe du Monde, Coffee Beanery (dark roast and another, can't remember, probably a house blend), Community Coffee (between roast, dark roast and Special roast). I'm going through the Lola Savannah roasts right now. For espresso, I usually get Cafe Bustelo. I like it more than Starbucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Marple Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 (edited) I prefer the coffee I order from Cafe Britt. I order about 4 months worth at a time...I've gotten really spoiled and do not buy any from the local grocery stores. It's easy to order and pay with paypal. And it is so convenient to have it stored in the freezer - I never run out :) Whole bean is the only way I'll buy it...pre-ground just seems stale.

aliya Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Years back we noticed that weddings at nice hotels always had delicious coffee, so we asked what they served, and the answer was almost always Farmer Brothers. So that's our brand - we love it. We have only been able to find it at Stater Bros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LizzyBee Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 A few years ago, my taste changed and I couldn't seem to get a cup of coffee I liked. We went through a bunch of brands, and I finally found the perfect cup... Folger's Columbian. I like it better than Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, and all the others that we tried. At work, we sometimes have Eight O'Clock Columbian, and it's good, too, although I prefer Folgers. It has to be the Columbian though. It's bold but not so strong that it's bitter.
