Where do you go to get good coffee?

[Mucman]

Personally I have found the neighborhood Shell stations makes good coffee The coffee place in my work building makes a good mug of americano too. I really can't stand
Starbucks coffee but I do like Blenz as well.

If you think you make better coffee than any other place, share your brand and methods .

<edit>How could I forget Tim Horton's </edit>

There's a sandwich/bakery type chain here called Panera Bread, and they have the best hazelnut coffee...yummy!

Dunkin' Donuts also has great coffee, esp now with the extra large size

Tim Hortons obviously!

 

I drink Starbuck's and Duncan. Neither is great. I like Peat's too. There are a lot of cafes around my way.

I forgot to add... The best coffee I have ever had was from a bag that my Aunt bought me when she was in Columbia! It was in a non-labeled brown bag but man was it tasty! Nothing has been half as good as that coffee... I hope there weren't any other special beans in there

Citrix - Lots of variety there! I have always wanted to try Ethiopian (sp?) coffee since they are the inventors of it. I might purchase some of their Columbian coffee. Hopefully it will be close to the Columbian coffee I got from my Aunt!

I roast it myself everyother day.
It is easy.
All you need is an air popcorn popper.
I order my green coffee beans from Tom at http://www.sweetmarias.com.
I have been dealing with him for years and he is a super guy.
Costa Rican La Minta is my favorite.
The Kenyans are also very very good.

Once you start, you will never go back to pre-roasted coffee again.

I go to the Globe Coffee Lounge.

Kenyan AA rocks!

I ran out one day after about 3 months of drinking Kenyan and my wife bought some maxwell house. damn i never realized how crappy the commercial brands taste. it was horriable, very bitter, very acidic and not much flavor at all.

Air popcorn poppers sure aren't good for popcorn, so put them to good use!

At home.

MY home.

I start with organically-grown coffee beans, lovingly ground and prepared with distilled water by me.

Holly cow!! I never thought I would see someone else buy Coffee from this site!!

Cool !! I totally agree the commercial coffee we get in the stores sucks, especially when you've tried other foreign brews.

Make that two votes for Baroness!! Just waiting for development of the "Virtual Frequent Flyer Caffeine Card"
(Local coffee shop discount card)

I live in Seattle; I have my pick between two or three coffee shops per block. My favorites? Allegro, Solstice, Tony's and Stewarts (when in Bellingham), and The Ugly Mug.

African coffees are the best, but I prefer Etheopian over Kenyan any day.

I really dont drink coffe, but there is a place here in town called Weatherstone, that seems to be pretty popular.

 

[Platypus]

Barista(coffee maker) for Starbucks here..

I like the bucks because its free and tastes good. However, Tim Hortons has superior coffee in some aspects.

I like coffee beans from Gevalia. I get them whole and MILL them myself. I mill makes a much more consistant grind than those bean bludgeoners. Anyway, fresh, cold, filtered water, freshly milled beans in a cone type (Mellita, Krups, Salton) (I use a Krups.) Best bean I ever had was the Gevalia Limited Edition Chipinge from Zimbabwe.

When it's a lot of coffee to make (guests over) I like plain old Eight O' Clock whole bean, milled by the pot. A lot less expensive than the Gevalia. I prepare it the same way.

Other styles I like (in order of preference);

Kona, Jamaiican Blue Mountain, Costa Rican Peaberry. I hate Folgers, Maxwell House etc etc etc.

Roasted coffee is stale after about a week after it is roasted, whether you grind it or not.
Most people have NEVER had fresh coffee.
It is an order of magnitude better than any stale coffee.
I had Jamcan Blue Mountain Mavis Bank today and yesterday because my GF wanted to try it, but man does it sux.
Granted, since I roast it and it was fresh, it was better than most, but pales in comparison to LOTS of other varieties.
Do yourself a favor and go to SweetMarias and just buy a pound of green beans. If you don't have a pop corn air popper and don't want to buy a roaster, just use a skillet. But, at least try a pound of green beans.

Second Cup and Tim Horton. Star Bucks confuses me too much.
