Favorite Brand of Coffee

[CPort]

I wish I drank coffee, it smells so good when I walk by it in the store.

La Minita whole bean from Kitchenique in Sandestin. Community Bourbon Santos is also a winner, but I have never seen it around here. I am proud to say I lived in a city where Starbucks actually went out of business when they opened next to two old local coffee houses...get that burnt junk off Magazine Street!!!

I used to buy Higher Ground at For the Health of It, or when I went to Pensacola I would stock up on organic Costa Rican from the food co-op. In the interest of penny pinching, I am now buying Supreme by Bustelo from Publix. It's a Latino espresso style finely ground coffee, $3.89 a package. I just stumbled on it one day. In my opinion it's as good as Starbucks. I make it one cup at a time in a little Melitta cone that sits on top of a mug. With organic half and half and real sugar.

I've tried many coffees in many brew machines with less than satisfactory results. Last fall, I bought a Cuisinart Cup-o-Matic and tried a bunch of different pods but none was really very good. I finally decided to try illy fine grind espresso in my Breville. Wow!! Hello!! This turned out like (or better) than a Starbucks latte or cappucino. illy is not cheap at all at $15.00/lb., but it is the best coffee I have made at home. You can find it at Fresh Market.

Carribou Coffee is great if you can find it. I like it better than S'bucks, but it's not as convenient. Dunkin Donuts beans are great, too...

I love my coffee. and I've finally switched from auto drip to french press to prepare a wonderful tasting coffee just like they prepare it at Amavida. I'm trying out their different coffees at the moment, and they are better than any I've ever had.

Illy fine grind espresso (found at our watercolor publix) - is also a must for my afternoon capuccino or latte'. so so so much better than Starbucks. Modica makes a great capuccino too. Amavida makes the most authentic cap, plus others like cuban coffe, etc.

SJ - I did not like newman's coffee at all.
