Some of the finest coffee I've ever had. I've tried several varieties from this roaster, but I can't recommend the organic Peruvian enough. It is, by far, the smoothest drinking coffee I've ever had. [coffee]

Haven't tried that.  We've got two local roasters, so I don't have to look hard to find a good blend ~

My favorite coffee from my favorite roaster:
http://www.alterracoffee.com/store/detail.aspx?ID=248&CategoryID=9&BaseID=2

If you tend to like acidic foods and drinks (tomato sauces, limes, crisp wines, etc.) like the wife and I do, then this is the coffee for you. It has high acidity and a is roasted lightly. It's like the anti-Charbucks. And at  $12/lb not stupidly expensive either.

I just get mine from a local independent coffee shop (Bean Street Coffee (http://www.yelp.com/biz/bean-street-coffee-san-mateo)), they really know their beans there.

My favorite coffee is Cubita.

Nearly impossible to by in the US because of the embargo, but whenever I know someone leaving the country to the carribean, I have them bring me back some.

We just brought back 5lbs of it from Grand Cayman.


I think the most overrated coffee is Jamaican Blue Mountain.

20$ for 12oz.


what a rip

Very nice!

We're lucky to have several roasters here in San Francisco. There's a new place called 4-barrel that's opening up two blocks from me...they'll be roasting their own beans, and serving espresso & french press.

I love this board...it's all about fine Italian machinery:

I bought a second Whirly Pop popcorn popper to roast beans in.  I got a pound of green beans from a local roaster and have tried 2 batches at home!  I still need to perfect the heat and timing, but it has been fun and tastes good.  I drink drip coffee and go through a pound of beans a week.

I use an Aeropress (http://www.aerobie.com/Products/aeropress.htm) to make my coffee.

(http://www.aerobie.com/ProductInfo/WebImages/aeropress/aero_press_03.jpg)

They have a shop in San Dimas.  I rode 36 miles round trip last week just to pick up some of their Ethiopia Worka beans... reminds me of Harrar, a real nice berry flavor, highly recommended.

I can't swing a dead cat without hitting a local roaster- I've tried!  (no I haven't)

Faves are Victor's Celtic Coffee- espresso roast and Sleepy Monk Coffee - organic espresso roast
Wholesale destruction of many a bean happens daily in my Gaggia Titanium.

The best morning cup is freshly ground beans and a bialetti moka pot that I got from my Italian friend. He also gave me Lavazza preground and it was just as good as fresh ground beans. Seriously. Anyway, I'm loving the moka. You can get it from kitchen shops like, but not necessarily at, williams sonoma and that kitchen shop.

I'm going through some beans I got from a monastery in the Philippines. They're a bit of 'eh', but still decent. The same friend who recommended and bought me my moka swears by Illy beans, which I'll do next.

Italians sure know they motorcycles and their coffee.

Coming from the Seattle area, you'd think I'd be all about Star*ucks, or one of the thousands of independent pseudo-bohemian coffee joints, right?

Welp, when I'm not chugging the slightly-above-par "coffee" at Barlee's Diner, I'm either drinking Chicory Coffee from down south (Cafe du Monde, or French Market), or David Lynch's coffee! Come on, the proceeds to go help teach transcendental meditation to children, maaan. http://ecomm.davidlynch.com/catalog/coffee.php

Cheers!  [coffee]

 Java Mountain Supreme - French Roast
 Celebes Kalossi - Italian Roast

I agree with Cyrus about Jamaica Blue Mountain, boring, I wouldn't buy it at half the price

I've become a big fan of the Kauai Coffee Company.    I'm love the Kauai Blue Mt. Peaberry. The downer is, like the Jamaican Blue Mt it comes with the same premium price.  But hey, every time I drink a cup it brings my mind right back to the vacations I've had on Kauai.

Local roaster www.berresbros.com [thumbsup]

If you're in Seattle, try the Bean and Bagel by the University. Went there all the time as a grad student. They're a bit ornery at times, but it's worth it. They have a multigrain bagels, which I haven't found anywhere else.

I can get it here... If you want me to ship it to you I can, don't know what that would cost.

A bottle of Absinthe was $12 to ship I don't see it costing more than that.

I'm quite fond of the local roaster's Jamaica Blue Mountain. Very smooth, almost like skim milk (no acidity at all but without any bitterness or typical dark-roast burnt flavour). At 55$ a pound it is an excessive indulgence though.

Peace Coffee:  http://www.peacecoffee.com/home.htm

I live in SoCal and order this from Minneapolis, it's TO DIE FOR.   The Mexican Dark Roast is my favorite.  Absolutely delicious.

To the person that posted Alterra - props!  That's my second favorite (it's in Milwaukee, I am from Madison).

I know this is sacrilege to all my coffee snob friends who grow, pick, roast, grind & brew their own - but if you're like me and you use a K-cup machine...

I think Kenya AA Coffee by Green Mountain is the best thing going.

I’m pretty sure I've tried all the regular coffee (non flavored, non decaf - like many comedians have said "I like my coffee to taste like coffee") K-cups twice (both black and w/ cream & sweetener) and this one is tops in my book.

My close second, because I really like Dunkin’ Donuts coffee, is Coffee People’s Donut Shop Cofffee.

big fan of the kona coffee. i don't get it to often, but i when i do

drool.....

http://www.mauicoffeeroasters.com/coffee/kona/

peaberry dark roast... yum, yum, yummy.

Ethiopia Mocha Harrar. Hands down, the best coffee ever. I also like a lot of other Yemen, Ethiopian, and Kenyan coffee.

A friend of mine roasts some really good coffee. He's at www.8thsincoffee.com

i used to work for Steaming Bean. mmm, Velvet Hammer.

http://www.thebean.com/



these folks also roast a good bean

http://www.silvercanyoncoffee.com/



hmmmmm, having ideas of setting up a coffee exchange....

anybody have any interest?

i also liked Fuel Coffee in Seattle.  [thumbsup]

I'd have a go at this.

I'm in. There is no good coffee here and if I buy one more pound of Peet's I'm gonna puke. [coffee rant] Except it ain't even a pound anymore. What the make the beast with two backs is up with the 12oz bags. make the beast with two backs that shit! $12 for 12oz? Eat a bowl of dicks. [/coffeerant] So yeah, if a few folks want to pass along some good coffee finds (that are shipped in one pound bags as god intended) then I'm totally in.

Cheers.  [coffee]

I've been buying from these guys http://www.kaladicoffee.com/ for sometime now. I usually make a trip down to the shop once a month.
Mostly for the espresso beans (Trieste Caffé) to go in my other big shiny Italian machine (Dark doesn't count as shiny) and because they're a local roaster. Mmm...  [coffee]
And, the owner (I think) whose name I can't remember, rides a 2000 M900 Dark.  ;D
I've talked to him one time after seeing him looking over my bike while I was picking up some beans.

At the risk of sounding like a total coffee philistine, I confess that I really like Starbuck's Sumatra beans.  I am happy to give my money to someone else for good coffee - who can recommend a supplier for a good, bold, earthy bean?  Even if I do it the injustice of grinding it with a blade grinder and brewing it in a 16-year-old Mr Coffee pot.  Also, how much work is it to roast coffee yourself? 

These guys are around the corner from me, and I love their coffee. It's all we drink  [coffee]

Cool info here:
http://www.clickpress.com/releases/Detailed/37891005cp.shtml (http://www.clickpress.com/releases/Detailed/37891005cp.shtml)

They just raised their prices from $12 to $13.75/lb. It is still worth every penny.

Umm drinking coffee, what else do you do with coffee. wait umm maybe i dont want to know....

I'm surprised nobody has brought up the cat-crap coffee.  I think it was from Civets, they ate the beans whole, dropped them out in their droppings ~

JM

Kopi Luwak!  My local shop has it on sale right now for only $15 a cup. :o  (no, I haven't tried it and I have no interest in doing so)

Ech! [puke]

Wasn't his name Andy?  I could be wrong.  Only been in there a couple times.

Supporter of Boulder Brewing Market.  [thumbsup]

I don't care what the rest of you think.  JMB is a damn good cup of joe.  I don't mind paying the $50/lb, though it is just my weekend brew.  Daily coffee switches between Kenya AA and Sumatra.

Manny, how are the primates coming with our "new process"?  ;D

Come on.  Be a sport!  I am traveling up the coast this next week.  I'll buy you a cup.

Kind of funny that I'm just seeing this thread, as I'm a bit of a coffee fanatic.  Also, the roaster that was linked in the original post is in my home town.  I was just there a few days ago; the café they used to have is gone now, but the roaster is still in business.

Must get that coffee now!

I want reviews, people.

Need more caffeine!

I grow and roast my own here in Boquete Panama. Arguably the best coffee in the world is grown here according to coffee snobs. I have 40 Arabic and 20 Geisha plants. Geisha here sells for $275 a pound to Japan. 

 [thumbsup] [coffee]

What's the DMF discount?  :D

Send some dark roast here please [drool]

There are plenty of reviews on the BRC website. [coffee]

I'll bring some to DIMBY.   Death Wish is literally 2 min from my house.

DIMBY you say?

I'm even planning to take an extra few days off from work  [thumbsup] [beer] [drink] [shot]

WHAT?!

I live in Panama City, what's your brand? My local favorite is Palo Alto, followed by Kotowa . . .

That will be handy Sunday morning when all you want to do is pass back out. [laugh]

I have just finished a pound of Death Wish. Not bad, but not worth the cost IMO.  [coffee]

What's that you say?

DIMBY!

Those are good, but I prefer my own that I dry and roast over a wood fire in a huge pila. I lived Kona side Hawaii in '87-88 and learned how to grow and process coffee. Moved to Boquete 6 years ago and learned from my Panamanian friends how to do it correctly. I was just staying in Punta Pacifico area at a friends house a few weeks ago. PC for me is like Honolulu, San Francisco, etc...fun to hang out in for a week, them it's time to get the hell out. Surfed yesterday at Punta Burica. I love it here.

Vacation here and come pick and roast your own, with guidance for free. I give my coffee away to friends and clients (I'm a building contractor).

The darker the roast, the less caffeine and more acidic. I love dark roasted though for the flavor.....add some of purist cocaine ever at $700 a kilo and.....just joking, I don't touch that stuff.

gotcha

Yep.  The reason you need good beans for espresso. 

Espresso is 'all' about the taste. Most folks think there's more caffeine, but that's not the case.  [thumbsup]

Kona coffee is good, but it's overpriced. Ka'u is a little stronger flavor. Deathwish Coffee Company is the one for me. First time I made I had a pot killed from 6am to 12pm, half of my shift. I could see sounds and smell colors. I've swore by it since. It's even better if you do a cold brew with it. Super smooth and strong as it gets.

Growing and maintaining coffee plants is a pain in the ass. Sooo much work and overhead for the yield. I just do it for the hell of it. To send to friends, clients and family as a gift.
 

My previous job had a subscription to https://counterculturecoffee.com/, a grinder and a Bunn machine I made sure to keep clean.

Those were good days

Espresso has 5-6 times the caffeine as drip, per ounce. It's the difference in serving size that leads to the confusion.

In order to avoid this confusion, I suggest adding a shot of espresso to your coffee.   ;D

 [thumbsup]

A shot of espresso is one serving.  6 ounces of American style coffee is one serving, though most people today are likely to down a mug significantly larger.  As said before, the darker roast has less caffeine, assuming it is the same bean.  In short, same amount of coffee, just less water. 

I am more interested in the flavor than the caffeine count. Not to discount the pick me up....but flavor is more important.

Best coffee ever tasted? Jamaican Blue
Best coffee for day to day? Cafe Bustelo
Best brew method? French press

Worst coffee EVERY? The shit brewed at the station  :P

**These are all preferences, with no scientific basis beyond personal experience**

Roasting itself has little effect on caffeine content. The confusion (similar to serving size) is in volume versus weight.

Kicking Horse explains it best: "If you measure your coffee by scoops, light roasted coffee will have more caffeine. Since the beans are denser than a darker roast. However if you weigh out your scoops, darker roasts will have more caffeine, because there is less mass."

As far as espresso, the better roasters will list recommended dosage in grams.

I do 860g/L of grounds for my cold brew, and drink a liter a day easy when I do make it. 4 jar batches usually.

Just ordered this grinder.


http://youtu.be/AOCfH-fv9Nk (http://youtu.be/AOCfH-fv9Nk)

For me, the pot is one serving... 


Probably the best coffee I've ever had was some Brazilian Pilao I got from a friend of mine back in the early 2000's.  I ordered some since and it hasn't been quite as good, and, once, pretty much yuck.  I know there are differences in the growing seasons and years, but jeez...

Anymore, I just grind up and drink whatever my wife brings home from Starbucks.  No, I don't particularly rave about SB coffees, but she works there and gets it for free... so who am I to argue?  If I'm out and about, here in north Texas, both 7-Eleven and QT put out a decent cup o' coffee... if it's <30 minutes or so old.

That looks well built. 

Love the fact that it's a manual grinder.

I have a little electric Westinghouse electric grinder with a small blade similar to a blender that beats the beans into submission and don't really care for it.

It's inherited so I shouldn't complain but it never gets used.

I would definitely use that  [thumbsup]

Use a burr grinder. That's what I use is a Mr.Coffee burr grinder. Has a nice hopper you pour beans in that is good for about 2 1/2 pots or so and has adjustable time for how many cups you plan on brewing, 2-24 I think and variable grind from espresso baby powder fine to french press coarse.

And keep the blade grinder for nuts and stuff.

http://www.joshrenoufdesign.com/new-gallery-5/ (http://www.joshrenoufdesign.com/new-gallery-5/)

I'd need about 8 of those...

Just used the new hand grinder and my stovetop espresso maker. One of the best cups of coffee I've had. I used Sumatra.

Ahh the best part of Yuma, they got Dunkin.  [coffee] [thumbsup] [thumbsup]

Traditional stove top espresso makers, the original and the best imo. [thumbsup]
I have a stainless piccolo two cup (Derringer), a stainless 4 cup 9mm and an monster stainless RPG7 sized 12 cup version. By cup I mean espresso cups. Halve that for normal coffee cups.
The alloy versions are cheap and leave a strange taste, so go for the expensive stainless type. I struggle to find new rubber seals unless I go to the local Italian Deli which sells them individually in various sizes.

^^^ I use the stainless Bialetti.

For the coffee press fans, I just picked this up. It has a dual filter system and is the best press I've ever owned. Espro is the company.

"Hopes and dreams and motivational posters of kittens are the fuel of people who live for mediocrity. Those of us who have gone days without sleep jumping from mission to mission, who have walked mile upon back-breaking mile loaded down with more gear and ammo than a human being should ever carry, who have sat in a squad car, ambulance, or fire truck, or who just plain work our asses off while the world around them pretends to, know that the only real propellant for life is action. And the fuel for action consists of two things: Caffeine and Hate.

Ranger Up is proud to work with Black Rifle Coffee to create the most caffeinated coffee that Evan has ever made.

That’s right - The most caffeinated coffee EVER. This is not a coffee for beginners. This is not a coffee for people who add make the beast with two backsing sugar. This is a coffee for the alphas, the men and women who need caffeine intravenously, and the badasses that say make the beast with two backs off to lattes, grande-mocha-extra-skinny-bullshit and crappachinos.

Caffeine and Hate Coffee is a medium roast blended with Robusta and Arabica beans. It is not for the weak or fainthearted.

make the beast with two backs lattes. Fuel the loathing."

I'd like to try some one day .

I just ordered a couple bags.  If you are ever in the area, stop by. [coffee]

Cheers. Will do.

Bring some to DIMBY.

Sounds like too much caffine for me. Regular Coffee and a good amount of Protien 🍔 works good in my system. But it looks cool.

Bullshit. ;D

I just ordered a bag.

I'll leave it on my desk for the students to see. [evil]


I'm new to this whole coffee thing. I got hooked on Douwe Egberts while in St. Maarten last summer.

Well . . .

Next month I will do my normal, "not local coffee" order . .  something with lots of caffeine, something from Africa, Indonesia and some hate, from waht I see

Did he notice?

It seems that he didn't.

Shame.

Many years ago, I was in Cali for a wedding.

The place we were staying had no coffee, so Starbucks was the place. I struck off the first morning and walked in...looked up at the menu board...and my eyes just blurred.

Came my turn and I said...can I just get a make the beast with two backsing cup of coffee?

It was still $4.   [bang] [bang] [bang] [bang] [laugh]

Haha.

I never liked how Starbucks "corrects" my order.  I say, "I'd like a small black coffee?" and they always reply, "Sure, one tall house drip coming up."  C'mon Starbucks, let's just call it small regular coffee like normal people.

they are not normal people.

HAHA, I have that same espresso maker!

It gets the job done.

I do need a bigger one.

 [coffee] [coffee]

Agreed, but I bought the biggest one I could find so.....

They say mine is a 6-cup.  (I say one serving)

They do make a 12.

Working from home this morning for a little while.  Have the pups by my side and a cup o' Silencer Smooth at hand.

There are a number of colleagues I'm betting who would prefer that the affect of this blend would be more along the lines of "Silence Her" (ain't happening).

 ;D [coffee]

What was the “too light for your liking” roast that you pawned off on your coworkers?

I have a bag of Corvus Dead Reckoning.  I like it when I have it there.  Not quite the same at home.  :-\

A new little shop in the home town:  https://205coffee.com (https://205coffee.com)

Just opened last fall is my understanding.  Their website doesn't list the beans they have (or much else).   I bought what was highly recommended.  "what everyone else buys".   It was really light.

Shoulda known.  Most people in that area when choosing a crazy spice for instance, go for the pepper shaker.  Not a region of epicurean adventure.   ;)

Cafe Bustelo, espresso style.  It's yummy.

Thinking about giving vacuum/siphon brewing a try just for kicks.  Anyone have an FHE?

I'm an espresso snob, but thinking about revisiting drip on the weekends.

Looks like a lot of work.

https://www.stumptowncoffee.com/brew-guides/vacuum-pot

Sure seems like it. Cleanup's probably a pain too. But... many reviews I've read indicate it takes coffee to a whole new level, which leaves me wondering if the juice is worth the squeeze, so to speak.

Got a friend/co-worker who has one (if he can find it), so I might be able to take one for a test drive...

We expect a full report. ;)

It’s crazy how the coffee is ground to a powder. It’s like flour. But it’s coffee.

I prefer Greek coffee! 😉

I'll drink Turkish or Greek coffee in a middle-east restaurant to go with the cuisine, but I really like espresso better.  Since Turkish coffee is brought to a boil three times it tends to get bitter.  Use a coffee that is bitter from the start and it gets real bitter.  You definitely want to use Aribica beans.  You also need a burr grinder, the blade mills will burn the coffee trying to get it fine enough.  Still too bitter?  Greek, same thing, but only brought to a boil once.  Or just drink espresso!

My burr grinder is incapable of grinding it fine enough. It won’t really go any finer than a good espresso grind.

I’ve got a DeLonghi espresso machine and I love it but enjoy trying different things. The videos on making Turkish coffee make it look so easy but I still can’t quite get it right.

Some good info.

Interesting . . . One more kitchen gadget to get

Get white bread, butter it with pure, full butter, spread thinly, then moderately spread Turkish/Greek coffee powder over it and then sprinkle white sugar over it liberally. Adjust amounts to suit taste once you're "blooded in." [evil]
Kapow! Coffee bread. You'll never be the same. Try it and let us know how you go.
My mum made me this when I was a little kid, explains alot [laugh].

Turkish coffee is the only coffee I have with sugar. My coffee of any type (usually Italian) is always black.

I like my coffee, like I like my women. Ground up and in the freezer.

Good Lord. I almost can’t wait to wake up tomorrow morning now.

I DO NOT put sugar in my coffee . . . First cup of the day, a few drops of milk or cream, out of habit, the rest, black

Black medium roast plunger coffee with sugar for me.
Only way to stay awake in meetings. [thumbsup]

 [popcorn] [coffee] How did you go? :D

99.99% Espresso for me, made in traditional stove top Cafeteria style by the mug each morning.

You know what's in my coffee?

Caffeine and Hate. 

And sometimes Whiskey. [shot]

 ;D

Sounds like a strong brew

Pulled the old “leave the butter knife out just in case” trick. Glad I did. Seconds were had.

Coffee bread is truly addictive ;D

Stumbled on these guys trying to find a good Sumatra. Most roasters I’ve tried don’t cut it. This ones pretty good and they have all kinds of cool kit.

Been playing around with it...  Sort of.

Just using a small sauce pan...  Need to get a real cezve, which is why I am not getting the good froth.

Still tastes about right.

I wasn't able to get the froth either. no matter what I did, just did not work  [bang]

I gave up on it for a little bit. I'll have to look into it again and figure out where I am going wrong.

Yes , very true.  ;D  Less water, more coffee :D
A "cup" means something very different when asking for cafe or espresso.
