Coffee

[taylor185]

Interesting, especially the part on the site that says, "The highest quality beans from roasters like Intelligentsia, Counter Culture, Onyx Coffee Lab, and more." - hard to argue that's a bad start.

@2Julianas - is this the stuff you talked to me about? Seems familiar.

@Norm this stuff is great, highly recommend. i take it on the road with me for lax tourney, etc. Megs enjoys while I'm away and she's not in the mood to make herself a cup.

my delivery from them is due in this week, cant wait for fresh bean day!

The Smores was available as a taster in the store which made us grab it.

just found this kinda funny (i'm sure there is a better word)

My friends in CO don't coffee, but they are ready if somebody stops by....




My coffee machine doing a firmware update...

Was at ShopRite and needed something other than Maxwell house.
It's not terrible but also not great

They have counter culture coffee at my ShopRite. When I’m low and don’t feel like going to Black River, it’s good enough. And way better than that

How on earth are we on page 21 of this thread and talking about Maxwell House?

Consider the source 😉

I have had a DeLonghi espresso maker for decades, but I just purchased a Chemex filter system and a new Opus conical burr grinder and have been really enjoying the more nuanced flavors and the less acidic brew!

Bumping this thread. Been enjoying this since my last trip to the Cape on Easter weekend. Probably the only enjoyable thing all day when here in the office.

Was there this past weekend to pick up a cup while at the driving range. Got an Americano but afterwards should have done the drip. Which roast do you recommend?

When I buy beans or get a coffee to go I always get whichever is lighter roast.

surfer and breakfast are the roasts i keep on hand pretty much always, their black bag roasts (not sure why they change the bag) are really good IME as well.

If of interest, dark roasts are generally lower in the anti-oxidants touted to be beneficial to health, but have lower acidity, making them less likely to cause acid reflux. Light roasts, of course, are just the opposite.

lighter roast = more flavor aromatics remaining, less bitterness, more caffeine. Never understood the allure of Starbucks, they roast the shit out of their beans in pressurized roasters, destroys the more vulnerable flavor molecules and gives it that eye-watering bitterness. but differrent strokes I guess.

I'm not a Starbucks person. But I do love dark roast. Currently drinking some Cubano roast. There is a Mexican velvet medium dark that is excellent. To each there own

The Perk website says they collaborate with Swift to make the instant, I'm wondering if it's all the same. Swift seems to have much better pricing especially in bulk:

I'm going to try this on my next long bike trip and see how it goes. Carrying the Aero press and coffee on last one was a bit of a pain.

Have you found anything else?

100% to each their own. I don't drink drip coffee, taste not to my liking. Not a comment on drip, just how it hits me.

My analogy is always the beer one: plenty of people love light beer, I can't stomach it; give me a high ABV super bitter IPA tho, heaven!

Kinda the same w/ coffee: Drip = light beer; Americano = IPA.

Just a personal preference. Honestly, it would be awesome if I preferred drip as it's less work hahaha!

Same in the beer preference. Sounds like you haven’t had good drip coffee.
