If it weren't for the United States Military, there would be NO United States of America !
I'll drink Horton's maybe once or twice a year when I'm trout fishing in the spring. Nothing like a black coffee with 2 sugars, early in the morning, wading in the creek for those little trout.
Only once or twice a year? Dang I'm weird!
It's Tim Horton's when I'm out and Wegmans Columbian when I'm home.

There are also several restaurants that come to mind for good coffee. One is Panera, the other is a new cafe on Hertel 1209 or something like that.
Wegman's, made at home. Restaurants rarely make coffee strong enough.
Excellent combo, my compliments!Originally Posted by OneEmerald
For take out I enjoy Tim Hortons.
For Xmas, Starbucks makes a blend (XMAS Blend) whch is really good. I grind the beans myself.

Okay...Here's one for you DIY'ers..Originally Posted by Micheal Joseph
How do you grind your coffee? I use a Krups blade grinder. My preferred method of brewing coffee is a Bodum french press. My problem is that no matter what setting I put my grinder on, the coffee seems anemic and flavorless. I've tried to approximate the grind of the store-bought pre-ground stuff with little success.
Are burr grinders any better? Are they worth the money?
Anything strong will ring my bell. Forget the taste. None of it taste that good unless you find it freshly picked and roasted, in which case it will taste sweet, not bitter, even when strong and black. Once you have some, all the above choices do not compare.
So, about two or three times a week, just give me some very strong coffee. I'll take a shot in the veins of the world's most popular drug.
My advice to you is not to do this everyday. This will wear you down.
Too much will make you tired. The less frequently the better and the more effect.
I had coffee two days ago. I'll be ready for some more this weekend.
Have a nice day.

I think it's 1207. A very popular spot for city guys for breakfast. I had The Giambota. Only a half actually and I couldn't finish that.Originally Posted by wheresthesun

I'll amit it, I love Starbuck's...
I think the high octane caffeine of their lattes and whatnot paired with the nice and strong South American blends make it.
Don't hate me for loving "corporate" coffee.
At Christmas they serve that "X Mas" blend and we used to Spanishize it and call it "Equis Mas" meaning "more X" or, loosely, "more horses."
I'm just here to make people laugh. And to confuse people. Oh, and to irritate people.
Presses rock; especially when you need coffee w/out power (see October 13th for details). I ground my beans that week with a mortar and pestle.Originally Posted by Yorku
Burr grinders are good and provide a more uniform grind, particularly good at stopping the 'silt' from a press. It won't eliminate it though. The only real option in the States is the Kitchen Aid Proline. This thing looks slick and will probably outlast me. This is a well-written review.
As for brewing, the only other option I'd consider next to a press is a Technivorm. Warning- It draws about 14A- make sure you've got the wiring to handle it- and turns out 1.1L of coffee in around five minutes.

Me too- though they so over-roast every single damn coffee they sell, I can't tell the differences between the "cheaper" stuff and the (very) expensive stuff. And I'm a snob about it. I can tell the differences in beans when I've roasted it, but nothing from them. I think that's saying something but I like a heavy-roast anyway.Originally Posted by Achbek1

Wegman's espresso roast for me, but dammit, they're always out of stock on the beans...and the ground is done like espresso, too fine for a filterOriginally Posted by OneEmerald
