coffee bean recommendations

[URIT]

There is more to a good cup of coffee than just the beans.

We use Eight O'clock 100% Colombian Peaks coffee - a medium roast, using purified drinking water rather than municipal tap water to avoid the harsh chemical taste, a burr grinder for grind consistency, and a drip coffee maker. A French press works well for brewing small amounts.

We burp the gases out of the bag daily when resealing and never refrigerate or freeze the beans.

I've been buying this stuff for many years, even after moving far away.

They will UPS bags of goodness to you at a very reasonable price.

Tell Chris that Carl in Spokane sent you

Out of the blue today, my wife came into the kitchen (pretty much my domain) and announced that Eight O'Clock Coffee has a website where we can purchase any of their offerings. The small bags are under $5.00 and if you buy enough, postage is paid. Just thought I'd pass that on to those who enjoy it.

How about some of dem beans that they pick out of the cat poop. I think the trick is they don't wash them before they roast them. You want to go with the free range civets not the ones they keep in cages-different taste

After reading all the recommendations to the OP for Eight O'clock coffee, the wife and I wanted to give it a try so yesterday we picked up a bag of medium roast instead of our usual Joe's brand. My opinion was that it wasn't bad, however it doesn't come close to satisfying like the smooth tasty goodness of Trader Joe's. Wife thought it had a bitter after taste, and we both agreed that it's no better than an ordinary cup of restaurant coffee. Tonight we have friends over for dinner, and afterward we'll play cards and have coffee so I'll switch out our usual Joe's for 8:00 and see if they notice.

We've been grinding our own coffee for years and only use Trader Joe's brand. They make a dark, medium and decaf. I like to mix the decaf and dark and everyone who has tried it raves about how good it is. They run $4.99 for a 13oz can.

Recent Trader Joe's Dark convert here. I've tried all sorts of beans and locked in on TJ's primarly because it's pretty dang good and realtively inexpensive.

If you want to support a veteran owned and operated company, try black rifle coffee. We like the darkest roasts, but they have many kinds.

The coffee is called kopi luwak. At about $80 a cup, I think I'll pass.
