Favorite Brand of Coffee - Honda Pilot

guitarman · 08-24-2003, 08:38 PM

Since you all have such good taste in vehicles, I thought I'd ask what brand of coffee you like. I don't particularly care for Starbucks, but do enjoy Dunkin Donuts' coffee. Any suggestions for good unflavored coffee I can get online, or even in the supermarket?

I actually like Starbuck's coffee. But I usually drink whatever dark roast is available anywhere. But I can't stand most of the fastfood chain's coffee, especially McDonald's and around here, there's Tim Horton's, kinda like Dunkin' Donuts with sandwiches and soup, and I don't like their coffee either. Usually, dark roasted Columbian or Ethiopian beans will do me just right.

Virtually anything EXCEPT for flavored coffee. It about makes me

Even the smell of it turns my stomach.

YMMV

I have to agree with ramirami on this one. Verona is really a good smooth, bold coffee. You can purchase Starbucks at Costco in 3 (or maybe 5) lb. bags. Buy the whole bean and grind/brew away.

If you drink several cups of coffee a day. Starbucks morning blend light is great, with low acid and oil levels.

In the morning, any coffee will do -- just feed it to me via an IV...

I have a lot of difficulty telling the difference between the TASTES of different DECENT BRAND NAME coffees. I can tell when one is stronger/weaker than another, but unless it's real sewer water I buy whatever's on sale

Starbucks (any), and like smurray says there are great deals on the whole bean @ Costco -- you grind after the checkstand.

Peete's. Pretty strong so we just use less.

Seattle's Best. Good enuf for me.

SF Coffee Company. Probably someone else's rebranded, but it's OK to me.

I tend not to like any of the fast food style coffees, though.

Those in the biz refer to the overroastedness as "Charbucks". I prefer SBC without a doubt. Cheers.

Not a brand, but still my favorite ......

On a promo, we once got a pound of the house blend from http://www.peets.com/ . It was just about the best coffee I ever had. But, their coffees are all from $8-$14/lb., or more. Too much. Generally we get either San Fransisco Bay or the house brand from BJ's wholesale. Either is about half the price of Starbuck's and almost as good. Starbuck is good, but it's a ripoff.

When I moved into a three level townhouse 3 years ago, I basically quit making coffee at home. The kictchen's on the 2nd level, bedrooms on third, and I didn't want to be climbing steps any more than necessary.

During the week I drink this gawd-awful French Roast at work. At least it's free. On the weekends lately I've been stopping by the 7-11 after leaving the gym and getting a small regular blend. Every now and then I'll pop for a Starbucks Litenote Breakfast blend.

I really should just trash that ratty old Mr. Coffee machine that sits unused on the kitchen counter.
