Favorite Brand of Coffee

[seacrestgirl]

Try this-Fill your mug 1/4 to 1/3 full of whole milk and microwave 30 seconds; top it off with the New Orleans blend. Very authentic cafe au lait

Mmmmmm!

peapod et al, you mention fallback/emergency coffee. I am curious to know what that means. Is that a coffee which you keep in the cupboard for the time you screw up and run out of the usual brew (which probably also means that it is old and not so good because you use it only one or two times before buying more.)? Or, is it what you buy when the store runs out of your normal brand?

The latter, only it's because our Costco is 30 minutes from our house, and our local grocery store is 5 minutes.

I love Cafe Caribe...comes in a yellow can! www.coffeeholding.com So cheap and so good!
Of course, Starbucks! Espresso Roast Bold when at home and caffe latte at the I think I will switch back.

I always keep extra coffee in the freezer. Seems to work at keeping it fresh...

some of my words went missing????

I have been drinking tea lately but I think I will switch back.

Also,Cafe Bustelo is good.

Oh, I miss Community Coffee Bourbon Santos so much! In New Orleans, they sell it from the bins at Wal Mart. It is almost as good as La Minita, but half the price. Illy is our backup.

Seriously, though...the La Minita from Kitchenique is not to be missed. Please miss it, though...because they sometimes sell out and that sort of ruins my week.

I'm glad to hear others think Starbucks is bitter. I can't drink it without way more cream than I like to have.

Has anyone tried PJ's? Is their coffee New Orleans-esque? I really miss CC's and Rue de la Course.

I tried PJ's coffee, today. It was the flavor of the day, which was the Anniversary Blend. A medium roast with nice acidity and a solid chocolatey roast (not actual chocolate). Very good. I give that roast two thumbs up. The owners seem very nice. If I could drink it without having to leave my house to get the morning cup, I'd do it.

Not sure what you mean about it being NOLA-esque. I'm guessing you are referring to chicory, and I didn't notice it in that particular roast.

Well, you probably added the actual chocolate yourself, as I recall.

Which Costco do you shop at? I go to the one on South Lindbergh.
