I hate starbucks coffee, for some reason I like the cheap stuff they have at royal farms, and I can get my daily smokes with my cup of coffee. Good deal

argh.

Starbucks? NO Folgers? NO you know why IT IS STALE!!!!! Beans last for 1 week after being roasted, 1-3 days after being grinded. way to recommend stale coffee. I'm STILL a coffee noob and know this. Albeit a bit intoxicated I can recommend this. Find a local coffee place that roasts their own beans (possibly even a farmers market (most college towns have them)) and ask where they get their beans. Buy beans roasted within the week. Buy a cheap grinder and a french press (~$25 total). Boil hot water (even in a god damn microwave) and make some of the most delicious and strong (steeping longer makes stronger coffee) coffee that you have ever tasted.

done. fin. that is all. move the F along.

this is atot. half of the people here think if you dont wear $5 wrangler jeans, drink coors light or drink stale coffee in the morning you are an elitist asshole!

It's easily one of my favorites. Kenya AA+ and Papau New Guinea are my "go-to" coffees. Puerto Rico produces some good coffee too. Next up on my list to try is a Yemeni coffee.

how do i know? i used to work as a barista when i was younger.

you'd think with all that real-life coffee business exposure you'd have seen the word caffeine spelled out a time or two...
