It’s usually just us two so we usually use a very similar goose neck kettle for pour overs. Also have the larger chemex when there’s more than just us. I only started drinking coffee about 2 years ago when our son was born but it didn’t take me long to graduate from “I’ll drink any ole gas station coffee” to total snob. I really feel like there’s a huge difference. We just got back from a week at Disney and brought our own coffee from local place here in Cbus along with our kettle and travel pour overs. It was worth the hassle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Hammersticks Posted November 21, 2018 Author Share Posted November 21, 2018 Got my order from Peet’s a couple days ago, and the Italian roast has been incredible. Just what I was looking for. I also bought a little “pour over” set up that actually makes a much better cup of coffee than my expensive drip machine. The coffee fills up the house with an amazing aroma every morning when I make a pot. $25 is a little pricey for a couple pounds of coffee, but this is totally worth it. I’m thinking about joining one of their clubs to have the stuff delivered regularly. Thanks to everyone for the advice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloHokie13 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 I'm a big fan of LavAzza Super Crema Espresso. I grind it every morning fresh, and just brew it like normal coffee. You can usually find it for $0.75/oz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not the Italian roast...but our Costco had 4 types of Peet's yesterday when I picked up a 2 1/4 lb bag of "Alma de la Tierra" for $15. Brewed some up this morning. Excellent cup of Joe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
row_33 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 you can't get into this territory worrying about pennies spent per cup.... if you readily purchase a cup of coffee at a franchise, you have busted the bank on pennies spent per cup...

Not a Costco within 100 miles of where I live, I think. Road trip? Edit: Turns out there is a Costco up in Colchester which is just north of Burlington. My son has a hockey game up in Burlington next weekend. I’m going to check it out.

We rarely buy coffee by the cup. Usually just brew a pot in the AM and maybe half in the afternoon. It’s more expensive, but worth it. To me it’s like spending extra $ for good marijuana ?

NoHuddleKelly12 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Gevalia has never turned in a bad product, no matter the type. As far as national type brands, that’s a can’t miss. Incredibly smooth not bitter finish. Signature blend is my fav but they also make a good Colombian and French roast for darker blends. Cheers!

Value wise, four sisters is the best I've found. $5 for 1-1/2 lbs at Big Lots and not that much of a downgrade from Peete's. Just been a bit more price conscious since getting laid off back in March.

Kelly the Dog Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 If there is a World Market (or Cost Plus World Market) their house coffees are great deals. As good as Starbucks to me, for half the price. It's always $9.99 for 24 ounces and quite often on sale for less. All different kinds, too. French Roast is very consistent and good, and I'm a coffee snob. I think you can buy it online, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark80 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Just picked up some Counter Culture Coffee - Big Trouble. It's so good that it inspired me find this thread and post about it. Loving it. Other recent tries: Teasia Coffee - Ethiopia Yirgacheffe: to me, this kind of smells and taste like tea. Unique for sure. Not a daily drinker, but i make some like once a week. Jamaican Blue Mountain - got some 100% authentic (or so they claim), non-blend. It's good, no doubt, but it didn't blow me away or anything. I wouldn't buy myself, but getting as a gift is nice. I prefer the Counter Culture Coffee one over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 My wife likes buying Top Name crap but I'm not into them AND I'm the only coffee drinker in the house The only time she drinks coffee is when we go on a road trip. She'll get Gevalia or Café Bustelo or Lavazza Caffe' Espresso I like Dark Roast I like Dunkin Coffee but it's just not the same brewed at home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 When I was working in Peru I would brig back coffee from the grocery store. I forget the name but it was aromatic and good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s because when she buys the coffee, it tastes like s***. You buy the good stuff because when you drink it, you want to taste it. But this ain’t about the coffee in Off The Wall. It’s about the replacement Rosen in Arizona. (Look for a Sumatran, and grind your own beans.) Edited March 1, 2019 by Ridgewaycynic2013 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good deal; Is that the one in Novato? I just paid $15 for one pound! Course that was cause I was walking through the Ferry Bldg when my wife called to say we were out.

Anyone get their coffee online? If so, any recommendations as to where to buy it? Also, any recommendations as to different types of coffee. My wife and I loved Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee when we were on our honeymoon in Negril. We ended up buying a few pounds while we were there but got ripped off...stuff was like sawdust when we opened it. lol We tend to gravitate toward the darkest types of coffee. Love espresso.
