Starbucks just isn't as special as it seems.  It is decent quality, but does not live up to the hype.

I DO like the french and colombian roasts though.  I tried the christmas blend from Starbucks recently, and it was surprisingly good.

I used to work at Starbucks. I got 1lb of free coffee every week and full health benefits and I didn't complain. I haven't decided what coffee I am going to buy since I stopped working there. I have some Kona coffee that I will try.

Oh and there are a few decent blends of coffee from Starbucks. Espresso Roast for the espresso machine, Sumatra, Komodo Dragon and some others. Pretty much all of their seasonal stuff sucks. I feel like I lost my soul having to promote their shitty drinks I didn't like.

I just grind my coffee real fine
put it in a pan of recently boiled water
and let it sit for ~20-30 minutes
pour through a filter and drink :coffee:

Fuck a coffee maker :crankey:

Wow fancy. I've got a Mr. Coffee that only can make two cups at a time. Idk what a coffee percolator would do, and I've never tried a french press.

I like hazelnut coffees a lot, any recommendations as far as that flavor?

A percolator is more old school. It uses water in a bottom chamber, heats bubbles up through this tube in the middle chamber which contains the coffee grinds and out the top pouring back into the bottom chamber. You put it on the stove. I use it for the burn and camping and stuff.

I also have the Mr. Coffee but the more high class one... You know the $20 dollar one instead of the $8 dollar one :smile: Mr. Coffee also made my espresso machine which I found for $30 on Black Friday. Too bad the steam wand broke.

Another coffee device I have is a Ibrik. Have any of you had Turkish Coffee? Like it or not?

Sumatra is one of my favorite blends :smile: So delicious, earthy and spicy.

I think y'all need to look up the definition for pedophile.

I do miss having a DD nearby they have about the only drip coffee I will drink from any restaurant. Just too many bad cups to risk it haha.

And Though I have never used one aren't french presses supposed to be the best way to brew?

The past few months i have been drinking folger's black silk. It's strong, but not bitter. Normally I would snub my nose to folgers or maxwells, but I'm sold on this one....it's pretty dank and it's something you WILL find in almost any grocery store.

French Press is the best way for the most part. I mean if you want to unlock the full flavor and potential of the bean then the best way to drink it is in out of the Press. It has a slow brewing process that doesn't require it to be left on a hot surface like auto drips or percolators which in turn is what gives the coffee those burned flavors that you find in SBUX coffee. I mean usually when coffee tastes bad its because of the process its made with, or because the person doesn't know what they are doing. I am a strong believer that each blend should have its own way to be brewed to unlock the full flavor.

The only downside I have seen with French Presses is that the coffee can cool down in a shorter amount of time then if were left on a hot plate on a auto drip machine but boy is it worth it but in all honesty it will stay warm longer then you think. You just need a thermal mug.

Id recommend anyone who hasn't tried coffee from a french press to go do it. If you need proper instructions on how to do it I would be glad to help too :smile: Its really low tech and easy to do.

I have to buy a new coffee maker for camping this season perhaps I will get a french press for the job, thanks for the advice and all. I am by no means a coffesnob but I do enjoy a nice cup of jo with my toast and bowl in the AM.

Same here, I gotta have the coffee or I'm terrible to deal with until I fully wake up.

I just got a craving for a chocolate flavored coffee, anyone know anything like that?

And also Dephect where do they usually sell french presses and for how much?

First of all Chocolate coffee. The only one I really know by heart of the top of my heart is a Starbucks blend called Verona. Really smooth and subtle cocoa hints. They sell french presses everywhere. Target, Bed, Bath & Beyond, Starbucks, Wal-Mart. Anywhere that sells a auto drip will have a french press. I have one of the cheap glass kind and it works perfectly. Just look over by the tea pots and you will see it. Mine cost me about $20 $25. I can't really remember the price.
