search for good coffee

[grover99]

I like coffee and I am also cheap so I am always looking for good coffee at a good price. However every time I find a good deal and go to buy more the price has gone up. Sometimes as much $10 for a 60 count box. So I start the search again for good stuff at a good price. Tried Tim Hortons and liked it real well but when I was running low the replacement box was a lot more expensive. Found Newman's Own at a good price but the coffee kind of sucked. Gave most of box of Newman's to a friend who will drink anything. Now have some Kirkland Summit Roast on order. Has great reviews and a very good price. We shall see.

Good luck with your search. I really like Pete's coffee, it may not the the cheapest, but as they say "life is to short to drink bad coffee

Community Dark Roast . I get the pods from Amazon . About 55 cents apiece .

Yes I just discovered PEETs dark roast at Walmart. Kinda in the middle price wise. It's my new coffee. I think op is referring to K Cups though.

I quit worrying about finding good coffee. My son-in-law flies air freight and goes to Colombia (and he's from Bogota) often enough that I can't use all the coffee he brought since his previous trip before he brings more. He tells me what kind it is (medium or dark roast, etc.), I can't read the Spanish labels. He knows I like the strong dark roasts best, that's usually what he brings.

Do your research on Peet's. I get 10 lb "Gold Star Kona medium roast" for $17/lb. Lasts 8 or 9 months grinding up a weeks worth at a time. I'm not a big fan of our Keurig but I'm a pinch WalMart "Donut shop" is OK. Joe

Coffee

I drink my fair share of coffee/pods which gets very expensive at today's prices, so much so, that I pulled out my old cowboy coffee pot and started to use it. Ollie's also sales coffee and I do buy pods from them. But, you have to pick your own "poison", mine being Green Mountain Dark Roast!

I've been drinking Gevalia for some years now...I stock up when it goes on sale.

 

[grover99]

I have drank Peet's and it is good coffee but the dark roast is a little strong for me. I am a medium roast man and while I could save money not using K cups just getting up in the morning at my age is a process without dealing with coffee grounds.

Get a French press, stick coffee in press add boiling water, let steep a minute or so press and serve.

I get green beans from Burma coffee, roast and grind them. Always fresh coffee that way. You can get green beans for about $5 on up to $50 a lb.

An air popper for popcorn will do a decent job of roasting the beans. Do it outside because they smoke some as they roast

No coffee snob here...Maxwell House or Folgers dark roast in a coffee percolater. When I was on the Keurig kick I found the Italian dark roast to be very good.

I've never heard anything negative about PEETs. I quick search turned up nothing. Are you referring to the Starbucks connection?

My mistake, I have not kept current. Peet's is no longer owned by Starbucks. Joe

Regardless of brands, all K-cups taste like instant coffee to me. I want brewed coffee.

 

[quikdraw67]

I stock up when the McCafe K-Cups go on sale, I can get them for about 38 cents/pod, and sometimes we'll have coupons for them.

I like Tim Horton's ground for brewing. We buy the 3lb can from Amazon. To me it's worth it, and I don't find it all that expensive.

 

[Rpg]

Starbucks gold blend is usually what I buy.

Occasionally, I'll get some much better coffee: whiskey barrel crured coffee. That's pretty pricey stuff, but well worth it. Nothing has the aroma and flavors curing the beans in oak barrels that initially contained bourbon imparts.

 

[Bald1]

RPG that sounds interesting. What is the brand of the "bourbon" coffee? Where do u get it?

 

[MORSNO]

I never could find a "good" Keurig coffee cup, to me they just weren't quite right. Plus, the expensive Keurig coffee makers didn't last long compared to a good old Mr. Coffee maker

Then good old Folgers decided to get cheap on us and blended in Robusto beans into the Arabica beans and created an Acid Reflux nightmare for me. For anyone with acid reflux, drink Arabica coffee over Robusto and your guts will thank you.

So, for the past 10 years or so I've been buying Hawaiian coffee and always enjoy the great flavor. I can buy the Hawaiian coffee for less than half of the online prices by shopping at the Commissary on base.

It baffles me how people drink that k-cup coffee ****.......

I thoroughly enjoy my pedestrian pods.

Chalk it up to that silly "pursuit of happiness" thing.

Ditto.

K-Cup coffee is better than no coffee. Don't get me wrong, I prefer brewed, but weekdays Mrs QD67 doesn't always want coffee, especially in the summer. I have to have coffee for me to functio. Makes no sense to make a pot and pour half of it away. K cups fit the bill

Work has a Kuerig. Better K-cup coffee than no coffee IMHO.
