correct me if i'm wrong, but don't they serve lavazza in hotel rooms? quote: ORIGINAL: lusciouslips19 I agree flavored coffee is the work of he devil. It gums up machines and the oils stay in the carafes and smells up the unflavored coffee..blah. Best to add your flavorings with syrup after if you need to add flavors. But it does take away from the flavors of a truly great coffee. As the resident coffee queen who has supplied many friends.. Lavazza, Allegro and my personal favorite...Intelligencia. A chicago roaster. http://www.needcaffeine.com/

Try Folger's singles. They're decent, and real coffee, done in tea bag format that essentially brews in your cup in the microwave. I use them all the time when I go camping.

Out -- Dunkin' Donuts. Stay out of Starbucks. In -- Eight O'Clock coffee. Tasty and affordable. A cut above the common brands. New England coffee is also good, slightly more than Eight O'Clock.

lusciouslips19 -> RE: Best Readily Available Coffee? (8/16/2010 11:10:51 AM)
8 oclock bean?? Its ok, but its not better than Dunkin Donuts. Its ok for a cheap cheap price but comparatively...meh.

Intelligencia is my fave as well but it is pricey http://www.intelligentsiacoffee.com/ When I'm saving money I've found you can't go wrong with Dunkin Donuts.

quote: ORIGINAL: LaTigresse I don't know what your taste buds like. I get this http://www.frenchmarketcoffee.com/popup_image.php?pID=1 and use a french press. I order it by the case and that lasts me about 9 - 10 months. You beat me to it! That was the one I was going to suggest! My fav! And I have a French press, I also like to use those little things they use to make Thai and Vietnamese coffee, I have a couple of those. Drip machines suck, you can't clean out those tubes, and I know they say to use the vinegar, but I haven't seen it work.

I guess, they couldn't do coffee right, but at least they are delivering quality paper cups what their target market wants. lol

Try Folger's singles. They're decent, and real coffee, done in tea bag format that essentially brews in your cup in the microwave. I use them all the time when I go camping. Pretty good honestly. I'm something of a coffee snob. I ordered mine for years from maui coffee company and ground it cup by lovely cup. It was damned pricey though. Even so, my brother is the one who got me into the singles market. You can vary the strength by the amount of water you use. They're good for decent strength at a full cup. A bit less water gets you stronger coffee. Its not the best by any means, but it is a decent cup of coffee, fairly cheap and for me, a great answer to the fact that I hate coffee in a pot that's been there more than a few minutes.

purepleasure -> RE: Best Readily Available Coffee? (8/16/2010 12:06:57 PM)
I usually make my coffee at home with a Black & Decker coffee pot, and Maxwell House Master Blend coffee. A little sweetener and 1/2 & 1/2 and I'm good to go.

Jeffff -> RE: Best Readily Available Coffee? (8/16/2010 12:10:08 PM)
One of the keys to a good pot of coffee is the pot. If you have one of those glass carafes that sits on a hot plate, all you are doing is burning the coffee. An insulated carafe without the hot plate is the only way to go. I have one of these, It keeps the coffee nice and hot for up to 30-40 min. http://www.cuisinart.com/products/coffee_bar/dcc-1150.html They also make a "grind and brew" but the grinder sucks and requires too much maintenance.

I use a 4 cup and I turn it off one it is brewed. If I want more I brew more. It also wastes electricity to just leave the hot plate on. How much can you possibly drink in one sitting? Heck dont be a tightwad- brew another pot!!!

They do have some nice coffee cups on sale there. As for their drip coffee, there are few Starbucks coffee places you can go into without smelling the stench from their coffee pots because they fail to CLEAN them! That had to be the WORST coffee I ever had the misfortune to throw money away on! YUCK! As for coffee pots, I said it before and I'll say it again, the best pot is a French press or one of these: [image]local://upfiles/875047/189C2E6D32FB42E0A9482134730CF9A9.jpg[/image]
