Cup or envelope type Coffee makers - BLECHHHH!

[glenwolde]

I'm not that picky.

Sometimes I freeze the left over in an ice cube tray. With a few other ingredients and a blender you can make one of those fancy pants frozen frappawhatevers.

Once again, it maybe just the "old fart" in me surfacing

At least you recognize it!

I'm not throwing stones, mind you, most of us over the age of about sixty have done the same thing at one time or another. From ATM's to self-check at the grocery store to kids and their phones, most of us are guilty. Like Roseanne Rosannadanna said, "It just goes to show you, it's always something"!

I quit coffee about six years ago, but mine was always fresh ground beans in a French press. My friends still lament my quitting because they knew I made the best.

I had no problem with K cups, except for the price. I have friends who are still sold on them. What got me were those guys who still got their coffee from the big red can. Okay, I was somewhat of a snob.

I buy locally roasted African Coffee.
Run it through a Melitta Filter in a Krups Coffeemaker.
Any questions?

I have a regular coffee maker and a Keurig, I prefer the coffee maker. Coffee from the Keurig seems to have a strange taste, regardless of brand of cups.

I like a little flavored creamer or Baileys in my coffee. Since I can't find the fancy, flavored creamer overseas, it's Baileys.

This thread is almost as amusing as a "beans in chili" thread!

Or pineapple on pizza[emoji23]

 

[mrchick]

I'm in the French press crowd. I buy some locally roasted beans and grind them for each pot. Once I figured out the grind, the amount of beans, and the brew time, I consistently make coffee that my wife and I both enjoy. Yes, it is more flavorful than most 'Merican home brewed coffee, but we like it. I have yet to find a k-cup coffee that I like and I have tried many at friends that swear by the pod coffee. Seems like an expensive way to make bland coffee.

Eight 0' clock Columbian Peaks is our coffee. Sometimes a little pricy or hard to get these days, but when we find it on sale I stock up - just like Primers - lol!

A few months ago Publix had a BOGO sale and we went a bit nuts! We won't be buying coffee for a while. I did make sure the use by dates go out as far as we will have the bags before they are used and I don't care to do it this way, but the prices had temporarily tripled and the coffee (Columbian Peaks version) was hard to find.

My preferred brewing method is the old time Drip-O-Lator.
Load coffee in the basket, attach reservoir to the basket, and put the assembly on the pot. Boil water and fill reservoir. The HOT water drips through the grounds only once. Not like a percolator that keeps pumping the same water through the grounds.
Haven't seen a new one for a while but you can find used on EBay.

I enjoy several mugs of coffee everyday. I have a large Keurig at home and another at the office with Starbucks French Roast and Sumatra prepared cups. I also grind whole beans and use the fillable K-cup.
Tastes good to me.

I will enjoy a French press prepared coffee or steamed expresso on a weekend day if I have the time, but during the work week it is K-cups.

I drink my corefee with a J frame nearby, sometimes my P365.

 

[Bald1]

Instant with the right amount of 2% milk and Stevia sweetener. I also drink decaf instant. There, now y'all can go get your tar boiler and bag of feathers and leave Crazyphil alone.

You probably shoot Rossi handguns too ! Lol

 

[ZGrand]

I'm not much of a coffee drinker except when I eat breakfast out. Only about two cups a week at home. I use Dunkin Donuts morning blend decaf in an electric drip maker. Not very exciting - I know.

 

[OLDSTER]

We've "re-gifted" two of them in the last 5 years. We'll stay with our Bunn 10 cup.

 

[VaTom]

Use the Kurig and the re-useable plastic filters with a paper liner. Better than all the plastic K-Cups in the landfill.

I do like to brew up camp coffee in a percolator over a Coleman stove when I am in the mountains. Nothing smells better out in the woods on a chilly morning.

 

[Donn]

Make morning coffee in the Bunn. The rest of the day, the Keurig gets the call. Is it as good? No, but it's handier, and depending what brand K-Cups I use, it does OK.

 

[IAM Rand]

I like my coffee like I like my bullets.........


leaded and fast.

Or how bout this, I like my coffee like I like my women........




strong and bitter.

 

[Rule3]

My wife and I are real coffee lovers. Our day starts every morning with a fresh pot of real brewed coffee either in our Presto electric percolator or our Stainless Steel stove top percolator - no other method. Mmmmmmm Good!

Some of our friends actually drink their daily Joe made in a Keurig cup coffee maker. While I am polite and suffer through it when at their house, I really don't even like it - tastes like dish water to us. There are other brands of coffee makers that use the foil type envelopes to brew an individual cup of coffee, but again, blechhh!

When we visit our kids, we bought an electric percolator for each one of them that we leave at their houses - so we insure ourselves that our daily Joe comes out great. We even bring our own favorite brand of coffee with us.

My son and DIL use a French Press to make their coffee and it comes out so bitter it makes Starbucks seem like water. It would probably make a good lead and copper remover for gun barrels - lol.

I am really surprised at just how many people think Keurig is pleasing coffee. Once again, it maybe just the "old fart" in me surfacing - OK I'll accept that.

Are you a coffee snob too or do you accept and drink the cups and envelopes?

But do you roast and grind your own beans fresh every day??

We at least grind ours in a Cuisinart burr grinder and use a drip coffee maker. Grinder sound like a 747 or whatever!

After the hurricane used a French press and my parents old Revereware

My Norwegian grandparents would boil coffee and leave it on simmer on the stove all day! Rocket fuel!

 

[LVSteve]

You probably shoot Rossi handguns too ! Lol

I would if I had one, but I lean towards more obscure stuff like Grand Powers, Stars, and the Strike One.

 

[JcMack]

Ever tried roasted coffee beans dipped in chocolate and covered with a candy shell? I used to get them at a specialty candy store down the road from where I worked, they look M&M peanut candy but 10-12 pieces of them and you're off and runnin.

 

[KalamazooKid]

Love the big percolator on an old Coleman stove for camping! But at home I just don't have the time - it's a Keurig or Mr Coffee. ️
