We drink Gevalia French Roast or House blend. Sometimes their Columbian if the other two are out. IT's a little pricier, but worth it.

I agree, the bigger brands are nothing anymore. Little flavor and very dry. Even if you get their robust ones.

Friend of mine swears Lavasa coffee is the best, he buys a lot every time it goes on sale somewhere, he comes to my house and can barely finish a cup of my swill, lol

One of my Favorites

fleet farm has been selling Camerons as does costco and woodmans

I like Velvet Moon , Intense French is also good I know I like a dark roast , velvet moon is an expresso roast

We found the unicorn... Don't know anyone that likes gevalia

Black Rifle Coffee is awesome. $12 at Walmart. Anymore, Folgers seems just as expensive and way more crappy.

My wife brought this home today. I'll see if it keeps me going on night shift, and report back.

Never liked Folgers, even if free.

We used to drink a lot of coffee. When we drink coffee, we drink 8 o’clock arabica whole bean, keep in the freezer, grind our own per batch, brew in a Bunn with an insulated carafe without a plate heater.

I have always been a tea snob. My great grandmother was from Great Britain. I used to walk to her house after school to have afternoon tea with her. Great memories. Source of tea is important to not get the low grade, fines, and sweepings. Store open tea in an airtight container. Store open packages in the freezer.

I prefer only loose leaf black tea with blackberry, cranberry, or black cherry. For decaf it is decaf black loose leaf with apricot. 2 rounded teaspoons per 12 ounce mug. Steep for exactly 2 minutes. Add a little sugar to enhance the flavor.

My wife is now also a tea snob. For her it is white Oolong that has caffeine. In the evening, she drinks tea made with only dried camomile flowers. It is relaxing and helps her fall asleep. I need to try it.

That right there is my favorite! You open a can of that and it isn’t dry and make your whole house smell delish! I’m told Starbucks roasts that for them.

My in-laws drink the Kirkland that comes in the big bag and it’s good, but not as good as the dark roast in the can.

Never heard about the egg shell stuff before so gonna have to try that! Happy trapping! ScottW

Yup. I'm a big fan

We ran out last weekend and the wife got a can of Kirkland since she was at Costco, now every morning this week I am wondering if there is rat poison in it, until I remember its not my usual Gevalia goodness.

We just tried Black Rifle coffee for the first time.
I can't take folders coffee at all.
Maxwell house is our regular coffee we use.
It's been ok, but not what it use to be.

Pinch of salt before you brew will take the bitter out.

Laurie buys this for me at Aldi i think, pretty good.

This, Kirkland brand coffee is all I've bought for many years. I didn't have a Costco card for close to 20 years (they ticked me off and I refused to renew until after I got married and my wife eventually wore me down) but once or twice a year I would pay my mother to pick me up a bulk order of Kirkland coffee because I liked it so much. Before Kirkland I used to buy mainly Chase and Sanburn, not even sure if they are still around, but they were pretty good, or Yuban if they weren't available. Last Yuban I had was much as you describe your Folgers. I've had some of the spendy, fashionable coffees at peoples places. Some are very good, while others are either burnt motor oil or colored water. Unfortunately I can't tell you what brands I thought were good, because I didn't pay enough attention.

Like good Whiskey! We don’t drink to save to save money!

I have been testing out different whole bean coffee for almost a year. Trying to get good reasonable coffee beans. I have come to the conclusion that there are good coffee beans but they are not reasonable. A couple of my favorites:

Real Hawaiian Kona coffee beans. $35 a pound and up. Get this as gifts.

Sumatra whole bean medium roast from Door Coffee in Wisconsin . Buy in bulk 5 pounds and they roast it fresh $75 and sometimes on sale a little cheaper.


There are more expensive coffees like Black Ivory at $1500 a pound. I am not interested even if I could afford it.

My wife had us buying Organic Juan Valdez coffee from Colombia but at $15 for 10 ounces it just got too expensive. It was good coffee though.

Diane likes Cafe El Morro from Aldi. She goes through a lot of it.

I think all coffee is foul and have never swallowed a single sip of coffee in my entire life. Coffee ruins desserts too.

Here's The Scoop On Cat Poop Coffee | KUNC
Yes, a type of coffee called Kopi Luwak (or civet coffee) is made from beans that have passed through the digestive system of the Asian Palm Civet, a cat-like mammal in Southeast Asia, not domestic cats; the civet eats ripe coffee cherries, and its digestive enzymes alter the beans, creating a unique, less acidic, and sought-after (but ethically controversial) brew after excretion.
How It Works (The Civet Process)
Consumption: Asian Palm Civets eat the sweet, ripe coffee cherries, selecting the best ones.
Digestion: The fleshy fruit is digested, but the hard inner bean passes through the civet's digestive tract.
Fermentation & Alteration: Stomach acids and enzymes ferment and break down proteins in the bean, reducing bitterness and acidity.
Excretion: The beans are defecated, collected, cleaned, and roasted.
Key Facts
Not Domestic Cats: The "cat" in Kopi Luwak refers to the civet, a small, nocturnal mammal.
Unique Flavor: The digestive process removes some bitterness, resulting in a smoother, earthy, and sweeter flavor profile.
Ethical Concerns: High demand has led to the capture and caging of civets, causing animal welfare issues, though ethically sourced, wild-collected beans exist.

I’ll pass on the cat crap coffee I just wonder who the guy is that discovered the idea. :

That’s what I would brew if I hadn’t sleeked back to just two cups of crystals per day. I can’t drink coffee all day anymore.
