Your favorite supermarket coffee?

[momeNt]

Best bet is to purchase direct from your local roaster, make sure they explain to you how their green beans are packaged and shipped prior to roasting. Make sure you find someone who cares about their coffee.

Remember to brew within 15 minutes of grinding, 15 minutes is really stretching it but the flavor is tolerable. Ideal would be within 2 minutes, after 15 just throw it out.

That would be nice, but here in bumpkinville the option isn't available.

The Mayorga Café Cubano at Costco is my current favorite. Amazon carries it as well but it's expensive there when it's $13.99 for the same 2 lb bag at Costco. The Eight O'clock French Roast comes fairly close to the Mayorga and will do in a pinch, but it doesn't have quite the same depth and richness.

There aren't too many options besides the major brands. My favorite is Jet Fuel from Independence Coffee.

Answer is it's a trick question.

You don't know coffee until you know the bean and the roaster.

Oh did you mean favorite brown water? OH!! Different question.

You don't know coffee until you've hand picked the beans from the droppings of a civet in Indonesia - letting it's digestive system being the only warmth that ever caresses the beans before grinding - and then grinding it with a tooth of a Tyrannosaurus Rex exactly 42 seconds before French pressing it with water taken from an subterranean Icelandic river 12 miles beneath the earth's surface.

I once waited 45 seconds before French press, and you're so right; it was absolute trash! I had to have my stomach pumped and then do a cleanse before taking another drop of coffee.

Never again. Never again.

I chew caffeine pills.

Is this instant coffee or proper coffee.

I never thought of instant coffee as improper but makes sense. never could get over the stale taste of instant.

 

[OverVolt]

Instant coffee is NTB.

I don't understand the whole snob thing. I've ground my own coffee fresh, used a french press, etc, it just wasn't ever worth the effort and I always defaulted to store bought coffee.

Also french pressing is actually bad for you. The paper filters out some chemical that hardens arteries. Can't remember what it was.

You get the idea. Snobs... lol...

 

[manly]

Coffee is 98% water. I expected your post to be parody, but thanks for pointing *out* the importance of water to a quality brew.

I raise my mug to you.

Lucky... Last time I saw one was 15 years ago in WV. I didn't think they were around anymore.

They actually seem to be kind of on their last legs around here too. I know of one store that closed after a big, new Shoprite was built nearby, and the one near us is a little run down and has a terrible bakery. But they do have Eight O"Clock coffee. The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company. Been around a long time.

I've been getting this one for a while now.

This. Seriously. Most people don't know they are drinking robusta blends. No wonder people don't like coffee. Even if you do buy 100% arabica beans, its over-roasted, or stale, or simply not the best quality.

And the blade grinder completely ruins anychance of making a good cup of coffee. My personal minimum standard for a burr grinder is anything by Baratza. But first and foremost the beans are the most important thing. And clean equipment. Good coffee can be ruined by unclean equipment.

And not to mention, most brewers don't brew at the proper temperature anyways to extract the best flavor from the bean. 195-200 F is identified by the SCAA (specialty coffee association of america) to be the ideal brewing temperatures, which a walmart coffee maker will not achieve.

/end rant, sorry

 

[cherryzhou]

I like Nestle coffee

 

[Ksyder]

Although McDonalds has quite good coffee, at least as far as their drip coffee goes. Cheap and tastes good, not dark roasted like most things out there. Sorry I don't have a suggestion for good supermarket coffee. I gave up on finding that a long time ago. Last time I bought a bag of dunkin donuts beans I was disappointed. But, they may have been somewhat stale.

New England coffee often is priced well around here. I feel some varieties are better than others. Vermont and Targets house brand Archer.
Usually gey one of the above on sale.

 

[rudeguy]

Eight o clock?

I love 8 o'clock coffee. Get it in the huge bag, whole bean of course.

I have tried every damn brand I can find and always come back to this. The only exception is the house brand at Target's Expresso. That's good shit.

Damn it...now I'm going to Target tonight.

wait...I thought this was about supermarket coffee?

Amazon is fair game?

 

[Rhezuss]

I like the Lavazza Qualita Oro. Cheap and taste ok.

My regular deliveries of pasta, granola bars, and cat food say "maybe."
