Massive jar of aldi instant. It’s cheap, strong coffee and I’m not a fan of filtered coffee. I just like instant.
Instant has a totally different flavour. It’s more of a caffeine delivery device than coffee.
Anyhoo, I get whatever is on offer.
That’s a good way of putting it
We like the single origin. We exclusively make espresso (Americano usually, but occasional cappuccino and latte, never sweetened). We were looking for something roasted semi-locally and at prices that can sustain our habit. And then I had to try a single origin bean from India too.
Turned out pretty perfectly for us. We grew up on the coattails of second-wave coffee and prefer a rich, earthy flavor to the bright third-wave varieties, and this nails it for us. Lovely crema, mouth feel, etc. Apparently, it’s very low acid too, which is a bonus when you’re drinking at least 3 doubleshots daily.
So it makes a perfect everyday kind of coffee.
I like Herkimer from Seattle, because it’s great quality and a local (to me) business.
Aww, I was hoping the branding was based around the Quartz crystal subtype of the same name… My parents are big into Herkimer diamonds, I was about to go order them some bags lol. (They are currently on a ~2 week road-trip around central NY to go digging.)
I roast my own coffee these days, so I buy my greens from Sweet Maria’s. I’m not going through enough greens that I’m able to buy wholesale, and they usually have so much variety that I don’t really see the need to shop for a new supply.
When I was buying coffee, there were a few places I would order from online. During the pandemic, Tectonic Coffee was running a promotion where anyone who made a purchase from them would have access to their wholesale pricing for life, so I took the plunge. To date, their Colombia Decaf is my favorite decaf bar none. Their single-origin offerings are also good, but they’re probably more than I’d feel comfortable paying without the wholesale pricing. Not because they aren’t worth it, but I don’t think most people want to daily drink something quite that expensive. The blends are pretty much as advertised.
The other roaster I’d order from regularly is S&W Roasting. It looks like their website has since changed, and they don’t offer sizes larger than 300g bags now. They used to run a permanent discount code (I believe it was REDDITOR15OFF), but I’m not sure if it’s active anymore. The quality of the beans and the roasts were great, and I’d usually get a little hand-written thank you note in my orders. I stuck to the lighter roasts, so I can’t comment on their blends or medium roast offerings. Their beans were always sweet, bright, and fruity, something that I didn’t fully appreciate until I roasted my own coffee and started experiencing firsthand how easy it is to get mouth-puckering acidity in city roasts.
Whatever is on sale at Publix because 99% of the taste of my coffee is from the creamer, not the coffee.
Dunkin Donuts medium roast. It’s the only coffee my bf likes.
Local roasters, because I enjoy their coffee and enjoy supporting small and local businesses when I can.
Folgers. It’s cheap, readily available in almost every grocery store, and not too bitter or acidic for me. Three scoops in a drip is good enough for me for day to day use. If I really want a good cup, I’ll just go to a cafe where they know how to make it properly.
Folgers too but it was because of the incest advert for me
Whatever’s on sale. I’m not trying to savor nuanced aroma and flavor profiles, I’m trying to get caffeine in my body so I can function.
None. I am not a coffee zombie
my wife is friends with a lot of people at Kamiak Coffee so she prefers that. it also reminds her of home
Kirkland medium blend whole bean. It’s inexpensive and smells amazing when I open it. If it tasted exactly like the beans smell I think it might be the most delicious thing ever.
That being said, I make and drink coffee because my wife loves it. When we are apart I usually don’t bother.
I started trying coffee 6 months ago. I asked my brother (a coffee snob) for recommendations and he recommended Rave. It’s been great and I keep ordering from these guys.
Blend 1 is fantastic
Blend 3 is good as well
I haven’t experimented beyond that
Domus Barista has some reasonably priced single origin coffee that’s more or less priced to be able to be drunk daily. To some extent you get what you pay for, but bang for the buck is pretty high compared to other specialty coffee. I like the Mexico bean the best personally, nice fruity sweet acidity to it.
Otherwise I do enjoy Lavazza the best as a non-specialty coffee brand probably.
Gevalia. Their mild traditional roast has no bitterness. It is great black.
