The Best Kaw-fee

[rlvaughn]

JonC's thread on what is the best coffee maker, got me thinking about this. I think it would be interesting to find out your recommendations for good coffee. What do you like?

Of all we drink, my all-around favorite is Lavazza's Gran Selezione, "a blend of premium Arabica from Central and South America, with chocolaty tasting notes and a full-bodied aroma."

A recent find that I enjoy, Cafe de Olla by Independence Coffee Company in Brenham, Texas (home of Blue Bell Ice Cream).

I'll have to try those. For years I preferred Dallmayr Prodomo. Now I usually get a dark roast of Seattle's Best (owned by Starbucks).

What's Kona?

 

[JonC]

Kopi Luwak is the most expensive coffee in the world!

Just went on the internet as it is a kind of Hawaiian beer there. Oops!

Coffee grown on the Kona side of the big Island of Hawaii.

About $25.00/lb at Trader Joe.

I heard about this coffee several years ago; would be glad to try it, but it's totally out of my price range!

Good old Folgers Columbian for everyday. I switch out all the time and Seattle's Best is one good brew too. Green Mountain roasters is not too bad either. Lavalazza like someone else pointed out is tasty also.

I couldn't do it.

There was a time when I couldn't, or wouldn't. I'm over that, but at $100 per cup, I might be able to drink a teaspoon full. (Or perhaps drink it and not drink coffee again for a couple of years.) It would be interesting to taste the difference.

I'm not familiar with that one, but I see they have it at a decent price with free shipping at Amazon. I'll have to try it sometime.

Well you all are probably going to ban me from the board anyway... I drink instant Folger's coffee crystals... Heat up the water in the microwave... Add a teaspoon of Folgers and some coffee mate french vanilla cream and I good to go... Don't beat me up too bad cause I can always go over to the UK brethren and have a spot of tea... Cheerio!...

Warning. Off topic. This thread is about coffee. Instant doesn't count.

I can't remember what was in our MRE. Maybe Sanka. I liked it....but it wasn't coffee.

NO NOT Sanka - that was activated charcoal for filtering water!

That explains a lot.

You're like me, way out of your class on this thread!

Good thing only the Amish practice The Ban!

Not coffee, but sometimes though, when in a pinch, one must have a substitute. Here's the best one I've found.
