Title: COFFEE ?
Post by: sbenkoski on April 24, 2017, 09:12:11 am
How do you like your coffee ? What brand do you use? And what roast do you like best?   I like a medium to light roast, i use half and half, and i'm now hooked on a brand called Boyd's from Portland Oregon  the "Streamliner"   Guatemalan

Just tried chock full of nuts for the first time last time it was on sale.  Wow - it was a smooth cup of joe directly out of my drip coffee pot.  Today I had an iced coconut mocha from a local coffee house. First time at this spot and I'd been dying to visit it since we've moved to this new town of ours.  LOVED the ambience, the service, the prices and location.

I like a Folgers coffee, with some creamer in there, just enough to change the color, that is gooooood stuff!

I did not start drinking coffee until about seven years ago. I started off with the really foofy stuff-completely loaded with sugar and syrups. I slowly weaned myself off the total sugar coffee to a Starbucks Caramel Macciatio. Then, in keeping with a minimalist goal, started drinking my coffee black. I picked up an inexpensive espresso machine and bean grinder. Three years ago a few attorney friends turned me on to Deathwish coffee which is quite a bit more caffeinated than anything found on the market. It is quite flavorful, doesn't give me jitters or headaches, and works out to about twenty five cents a cup. I tried another brand that was six percent stronger called blackinsomnia but it was considerably more expensive and caused some bleeding.

I don't really like coffee much. If I do drink some it will be only on a cold day in winter. Folgers is my preferred brand and I drink it black with a teaspoon of sugar.

I love brewed coffee but I usually just drink instant cappucino in the morning.

I'm one of the only people I know who has never tasted coffee. I'm glad other people enjoy it and can find lots of different ways to drink it! Personally, I grew up with a father who drank a frightful amount of coffee every day, was always making more with his coffee pot, and basically was addicted to the drink. I guess that turned me off from wanting to ever try it. But that's just me!

I'm drinking a store brand right now. It's decaf, I like the taste of coffee but I can't always handle the caffeine. Trying to cut back anyway so I sleep better. I'll add vanilla soymilk to my coffee.

Believe it or not Walmart's "Great Value" brand isn't that bad at all (if you life the breakfast blend - light kind).
I have to have it sweet or I want drink it. I use half and half or flavored creamers, now that I am switching to organic I have to find something to substitute those products quickly! lol

 Wild Harvest Organic Viennese House Blend Coffee  is a great coffee you can get at Super Value stores and or the sister stores to them.  Stevia in the Raw and  Organic Valley half and half

I like coffee black, except in the summer at times. I will add a bit of chocolate milk, and ice it.

Mocha iced coffee. Very refreshing for me.

I used to do Half and Half by Maxwell House until I tried Foldger's Black Silk.  Now I'm hooked on that and I buy it from Walmart though they can't keep it stacked on their shelves fast enough.  It's constantly sold out a lot faster than any other type Foldger's makes.

I loved Gevalia coffee (French Roast), I was ordering from Amazon Pantry...prefer it black but it was causing nausea not loo long after drinking it.  I started adding half & half to finish up what I ordered.  Someone recommended doing the dark roasts/expressos because they are supposed to be more "stomach friendly"...

I've always preferred buying "whole bean" and grinding myself but I got too much going on to want to deal with that at this time.

So I've been trying the darker roasts by "Wide Awake Coffee" (Italian Roast & Seattle Style) because it was on sale.  I don't like the taste if it's black, there's no real flavor---bland (tastes like de-caf but it's not.) So I been adding half & half to it. 

I get the little packets of Berres Brothers coffees for making "dessert coffee" or iced coffees.

I'm probably going to go back to ordering the Boca Java coffees, I don't think anything in the stores tops them.

I like 6 ounces of Colombian coffee with a tablespoon of Sweet Cream International Delight.  I absolutely love the smell of coffee in my home.

I used to love to drink coffee but haven't been able to for about the past 10 years.  It triggers my vertigo.

Hills Bros or Folgers - depends which one is on sale and then I stock up.  Like it with powder creamer and sometime a flavor creamer.

I like my coffee custom roast from forgers.  I like cream and sugar.  I had a bleeding ulcer last year and was not able to drink coffee for a few months.  I sure missed it.  Now I am able to drink it again.  Hope everyone has a good day and may God bless each of you and keep you safe. :)

I don't drink coffee; I drink green tea, but I can definitely understand why it's so addictive- the smell is amazing.

I use to drink Folgers a while ago but I liked it with more sugar and cream than coffee  :-\

I like my coffee the way my hubby makes it every morning. He buys whole Starbucks French Roast beans at Costco and grinds them up in the Costco machine before he gets home. Then he boils water and pours it over the beans into a carafe and serves it with half and half. It is delicious and a great way to start the day.

Ronnoco is the best brand of coffee ever. My opinion, of course.

I always drink my coffee with cream and sugar. Wimpy, I guess.  :-\

But that's the way, uh-huh, uh-huh, I like it.

I have a Keurig so buy the pods to use with it. My favorite is the Paul Newman dark roast brand. I drink my coffee black - started that years ago to cut down on sugar and now really prefer it that way.

I like my coffee really strong but with lots of half and half in it. I love Starbucks French Roast beans that we buy and grind up at Costco before we come home. Then we use the drip method to make it.
