"What's your favorite coffee?" Fri Oct-13-06 03:38 PM by _Chewy_
I've been a long time Starbucks coffee fan, but I just got a free Senseo coffee machine for filling out a short survey. It came with one bag of medium roast and I went out and bought 2 additional flavors and they're both pretty good. It definitely has more of a "european roast" taste like to it. At first I wasn't so keen on it...but now I'm starting to get slowly hooked! Anyone else have a Senseo? What's your favorite coffee?
My favorite coffee is probably Starbucks Gold Coast. But I don't keep it at home.
I have Philips Senseo and HomeCafe (Black & Decker) machines. The Senseo produces a full-bodied and flavorful cup of frothy coffee. However, I have have to be careful how much I drink. It doesn't take much of the U.S. blends to irritate my esophagus. I find the Douwe-Egbert Dutch coffee formulations to be better than what we get here in the U.S. The U.S. pods produce a more bitter cup of coffee in my opinion.
The HomeCafe is quite good and can lower the cost of drinking premium coffee drinks.
I also have two or three cups of Folger's or Maxwell House Decaf using a conventional brewer in the evening.
6 days a week its Kirkland Coffee on a Mr.Coffee drip. Oh Kirkland Coffee was judged one of the best by Consumer Reports Magazine. Kirkland Coffee can only be purchased at Costco. On the 7th day its a tall drip at Starbucks.
My favorite coffee has for many years been 8 O'clock French Roast, 100% Arabica beans. I grind the beans just before brewing. It's not exotic by any means, it just tastes good.
