Default Favorite brand of coffee?

What is your favorite brand of coffee and why do you like it? While I
have always like Maxwell House, I have been exploring other coffees
and recently ordered some from Cafe Du Monde. Anyone ever have it?
I've also had Gevelia, and it's not bad, but sort of expensive. I
plan on trying Starbucks soon.

And you?

I like the many blends Gevalia offers but I had to stop ordering it because
I don't drink all that much coffee. Starbucks, IMO, is overrated. Cafe du
Monde? Is that coffee with chicory? My fiance brings me some sort of
coffee at times on his trips back from Lousiana... let me think... oh! it's
Community coffee with chicory. Historical note: chickory was added during
the American Civil War to stretch, if not replace, the coffee reserves.
Ditto in WWII. In fact, it was often brewed by itself as faux coffee.

Fairtrade. It tastes good and the growers are paid fair prices for
their produce.

I don't like Starbucks, it always tastes burnt to me.

My family likes Arvid Nordquist mellanrost, which
a friend from Sweden introduced to us as a better
alternative to Gevalia. It is expensive in the U.S.
but ~$3 a half kilo (about a pound) in Sweden. We
like it because it is flavorful and smooth, not
harsh or bitter.

Eww. Maxwell House, Gavelia, and Starbucks. My favorite coffee is
the Trader Joe's colmbian supreme. Really really good.

Community Coffee. I use a blend of Dark Roast and Cafe Especial, with
Ghirardelli Cocoa mixed in.

A distant second is Chock Full O'Nuts.

Montecristo brand for me. They have some outstanding African coffee blends
as well as a find Cuban blend. They also package estate grown Blue Mountain
beans.

For daily brew I like Chock Full of Nuts.

Ethiopian 'Horse' Harrar blended 2:1 with 'Grade 1' Sulawesi Toraja
and a bit of Ugandan Bugisu tossed in, roasted about 15 seconds into
second crack. That's my favorite this week. Life's too short for
shitty coffee.


My favorite is Millstone beans, I grind them at home, I like flavored coffees
and will skip around , sometimes the flavors, sometimes the breakfast blend.

You know, I am a farmer of Kona Coffee who has read this group for
years.


So why tell me...?!?!?

The only contribution you make here is spamming your fercocktah products.

We love coffee, but are limited to decaf.
Wish I could find a decent decaf coffee... ;o(

Bustelo, a very mellow espresso, makes a decaf.
