Recommend a coffee

[AgentEL]

So, my gf wants a coffee maker for valentine's and wants me to pick out some coffee for her. However, she doesn't like the "bitter" taste of coffee. She always puts packets and packets of sugar.

I know, it sounds like she doesn't really want coffee. It seems like she really wants is hot chocolate with caffeine.

So, can anyone recommend a sweet-tasting, or less bitter, coffee?

This is like those commercials for Keystone beer......it's SUPPOSED to be bitter, dammit!

That said; I dunno. Most "good" coffee is going to be pretty strong.

Go to Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf and get her some coffee and some vanilla powder. She'll make tasty coffee drinks that aren't bitter.

Millstone makes a Kahlua Vanilla flavored coffee that is nice and smooth. You can pick that up at most Wamart supercenters.

For starters, avoid Starsucks at all costs! It is flat out awful, and frequented by know-no-better dimwits who still believe that crappy franchise is happening.
As for coffee being bitter, that's only because you are making it that way. If you want the best coffee you've ever sampled, strong but not bitter, fragrant and aromatic, I invite you to my house tomorrow morning for Carbo's Famous Colombian, with a homemade muffin on the side...........(that would be Mrs. Carbo).

Breakfast Blends tend to be nice a mild. Just read the labels, and go for a mild to medium brew.

Also, decaf is nowhere near as bitter as regular, because caffeine is what usually gives the coffee the bitter taste. That, and the brew time may be too long.

I'd like to help, but as I like my coffee as strong as Arnold and as bitter as Reddawn I can't make any suggestions.
