Help me find good coffee

“I have been looking for good coffe and other then the deli down the street (they wont sell to me the bastards) I can not find any.
I have gone gourmet(sp) over the counter, I do not like starbucks (sorry marko) or dunkin donuts. nothing that is part of chains yuk!

oh i got an idea, send samples of your fav coffee....what do ya think? I will pay S&H
hey this way i will stop throwing out coffee”

“coffeetraders its a brand of coffee from out in montana. They have regular to huckleberry flavored coffee. I like it alot.


Of course maybe its just because I like Montana alot. My next shipment I get in I'll send you a sample. Do you want whole beans or would you like me to grind them for you?”

“(they wont sell to me the bastards)

LOL! Banned from the deli mapes?!”

“Mapes - there is a nice coffee store in my 'hood called Leaf & Bean. As I type I'mdrinking the yummy |"Firecracker" blend. :) nanernaner naner”

“Isn't it nanner nanner?

Mapes! You still coming out here???

Why don't you drag Twinks out here with you?”

“Ok the link to the website is http://www.coffeetraders.com/

I'm drinking the Glacier Blend right right now and loving it.”

“oh god, not another one...someone's gonna say the S word and all hell is gonna break loss LOL”

“The Millstone stuff at the store's not bad. Surprisingly one of my favorites is the Chuck Full'a Nuts from the store.”

“Actually I'm not surprised you like the nuts-flavored coffee, Nigal.

I also want to hear why you're banned from the deli, Maple...LMAO!!”

“I'm drinkin some Millstone right now Nigal. It's their carmel something or other...i usually don't go for the flavors but it's pretty good...they're not bad and one of the cheaper "gourmet" coffees”

“A good coffee maker is key also. Keep it clean and happy.”

“You threw out that whole can of coffee we bought last night???????”

“You can buy White Castle coffee at the store. It's supposed to be real good. So what do you look for in coffee? Strong?”

“Hey Mapes, I'll ship you a pound of

“A&P 8 o'clock, dark roast.
Most excellant”

“I can't go with her :( I have to get ready for the GSA regional!”

“Wow limpy, when I was growing up in Pa. my mom would buy that at the A&P store where we grocery shopped. Do they still have A&P stores?????”

“i've said it before, and i'll say it again...coffee's like sex, even when it's bad it's still good...of course most women don't share the same sentiment ;)”

“Do they just drink coffee til they're married?”

“Waffle House coffee”

“Try sprinkling a little salt over the grounds before you brew. Takes some bitterness out.”

“Millstone's breakfast blend. It's a light roast so it doens't taste burnt.”

“i'm drinking something right now that most coffee "purists" would have a fit over, a warmed up left over cup of coffee from yesterday....mmmmmmmm yummy”

“GSA? Government Supply Association?
Geological Society of.....?”

“General Services Administration.”

“My new coffee pot has a timer and an udjustable burner temp so I never get that burnt coffee taste.”

“Mapes, have you ever tried Gevalia?”

“don't worry about buying anything expensive. go to the grocery store buy whole beans, and grind the beans when you want coffee. It makes for fresher coffee. add a pinch of salt before you brew. Try a french press. That's all I use. No bitter taste ever. I buy cheap meijer beans.”

“Allegro. It's FTC coffee.

Non-FTC coffee is as evil as you get.”

“Here's a little education I got from my wife, a professional barrista. There is a big difference in the beans. The best coffee is arabica bean. The cheap stuff is robusto bean.

Arabica is grown in the mountains, has a smoother taste, less acidic, less caffeine. Robusto is grown in the jungle, is much more plentiful, is acidic and has a high caffeine content.

Coffee that is 100% arabica bean says so on the label - it's something to brag about. Most coffee says it's a blend on the label, which means they use some arabica for flavor and cut it with the cheaper robusto beans.

We got a #10 can of ground arabica for church from Sam's (the distinctive Member's Mark brand) and it was surprisingly good. I thought it tasted a lot like fresh ground Starbucks House Blend. So the brand doesn't matter as much as the origin of the bean. Look for some 100% arabica coffee and let us know how you like it.”

“This is my favorite, kept me awake on way to many night shifts working in the Gulf of Mexico:

“McDonalds coffee has gotten about 300% better. It is good. I like Folder's breakfast blend for the house. It has a good flavor.”

“Gevalia..I'll send you some if you like...Bill's Dad subscribed and has tons of the stuff..want some Mocha?”

“This place has great coffee:

“After Mapes drinks all this coffee she won't sleep another wink in 2006.”

Fair trade and bird safe.”

“Ever try the coffee with chickory (favorite is New Orleans brand) and blend it 1 for 1 with a general store brand. Nice and strong.

But of course the best coffee in the world is at my department headquarters.

“Anyone have a link to the really expensive "civat cat" coffee? I'm being vague cause I don't want to ruin some potential fun.

“I don't drink coffee, but I think what a person likes can be very different from person to person to an extent amongst the better brands.

I know my mother-in-law's husband used to get coffee beans from the regular grocery store and make his own blend using two different kinds of beans. I don't know what they were.”

“I don't know of one that has won more awards than this one. They sample it around the office from time to time. Unfortunately, not exactly affordable.

Sorry 'bout the rant, but Starbucks sucks and is almost undrinkable by anyone who has enjoyed an excellent cup of coffee. I cannot figure out how anyone can market such a poor product and be so successful. The only thing it has going for it is that its trendy and smells nice. Has anyone ever looked how pitiful their beans appear? I'm certainly not a coffee connoisseur, but I can tell a good cup from a bad one. Their stuff is stale, over roasted, bitter, and leaves a nasty coating on my tongue. I guess you could say its different, yes but also foul.

“Boycott McStarbucks! And McCaribou! And McXandos!”

“I might consider sending you some coffee beans mapes but I have to hear the story of why the deli won't sell to you.”

“She got pissy when they wouldn't take back what she considered "bad coffee". She tried to get Jerry to buy all her coffee but Newman found out and now they are both banned from the deli.

No Coffee for you!”
