What's your favorite coffee??

I roast my own green coffee beans, usually from Africa or Indonesia. When I'm away from home, I'll drink Dunkin Donuts or McDonalds coffee. I used to like Starbucks several years ago, but I've been unimpressed the last few times I've stopped there.

I've been drinking coffee for nearly 30 years.

Starbucks coffee tastes fine to me, but their prices are high. But even worse than that is they don't fill the cup up anywhere close to full. Screw them!!!!

I was driving through NY this morning and stopped at a franchise/corporate chain called Tim Horton's. That was dang good cup of black coffee!

Most mornings I get coffee at the canteen at work. It's probably some food service brand.

Vodka

Counter culture/ ceremony/ one of our local roasters ain't bad. Intelligencia I haven't fallen in love with still but I'm sure one day. I honestly am not crazy about their vibe so I don't go there much. But counter culture #1.

In non-artisan categorie I'd take dunkin donuts over Starbucks by a lot.

Does bent paddle cold press black ale count? Ha-ha, I'm a big fan of bent paddle brews as a MN native.

I'm a Counter Culture fan. I have a monthly subscription where they send two bags of different seasonal coffees every month. That + burr grinder + French press = happiness.

You're still pretty safe from being a snob. When you start caring about the way it's brewed and whatnot, then you're getting there.

Currently in I have Chameleon cold brew coffee, some random stuff brought back from Nicaragua, Gevalias, Tulley's and the cheap but surprisingly delicious IKEA brand.

My favorite coffee is tea.

My condensed papillae gives me an extra dose of bitter. So I offset that with some Da Vinci sweetness. Kind of Foo Foo for a male but tall iced mocha with a shot of raspberry or a raspberry cafe mocha. Been hooked since an ex girlfriend turned me on to it.

+1 on roasting your own. Can be done cheap with the "dog bowl method" too if you don't want an investment. You'll have some junk batches along the learning curve, but you can't beat the ability to buy a few pounds of different coffees and then roast them each 5 different ways. I can even get different roast profiles, not just end results, now that I have a few hundred batches under my belt.

I'm lucky to live within five miles of a green coffee store and also buy from online green coffee buying clubs.

Dry processed Yirgacheffes, hands down. (Obviously can depend on the lot though). Another favorite is a Sulawesi, a bean from Bone-Bone Village.

Also +1 on roasting your own.

Folger's. I kid you not.

Counter Culture.

Had some good stuff from Blue Bottle and Stumptown and Intelligentsia, but I order from CC because it can get to me so quickly.

Just polished off a bag of Miju Sali this morning.

Cafe Bustelo. Strong and cheap.

It's the best part of waking up. I kid you not.

Tanzanian Peaberry, freshly ground, of course. Your local grinder should be able to get it for you.

As far as cheap coffee, I like Eight O'Clock's Columbian.

I used to hate drinking black coffee, then I bought a quality burr grinder and pourover set-up and switched to fresh roasted beans and damn, the difference. Your basically covering up the taste of burnt coffee beans with milk and sweetener.
