No, I was going to but was deterred by all the reports of melting components and kitchen fires. I used to have a Freshroast 8 but the chamber got smashed, so I got an iRoast which I love. |

I buy green beans from Bald Mountain coffee and roast them my self (Fresh Roast 8), then use a french press. Much better than Starbucks. For the price of a couple cups of Starbuck's burnt coffee, I can buy a pound of green beans.

Seattles Best
Peets When I have time, I by fresh beans from the local coffee/cigar store. Guy has THE best fresh beans. But I've had to slow up on the coffee a bit. I have a couple of cups when I wake up, one on the way to work, one at rollcall, then after that I switch to jasmine or green tea. Then, once I get home I'll have a cup or three before bed. Sheep |

At first it was kinda weird. I have always made my coffee very strong. How strong? Well once my grandfather was at my house while I was making coffe and asked me what I was doing in the kitchen cuz it smelled like burning tires. LOL Now I'm used to it and other coffee tastes kinda week and thin (if that makes sense). The Dutch have many different companies that make pods for the Senseo, but we only have the senseo brand Douwe Egberts coffee. I wish we could get more choices, maybe the price would go down a bit |

I'd say that if I was on a budget and had to buy cheap supermarket coffee, then After Eight Columbian Supremo is pretty damn good for the price.

I have the cheap pod machine thingy. $40 at Costco. I get a FANTASTIC cup off coffee every morning for around 40 cents a cup the only problem is I have to mail order the pods from places like www.coolbeanspods.com because the pods that the Senseo company makes taste like fermented liquid shit.

I am brewing that this morning. Picked some up last night on my way home. Will let ya know. Well 8 o clock was dissapointing. I used the same amount as Folgers.... apparently this stuff is pretty light/weak. Gonna have to do 1.5x my folgers scoop tomorrow and see if it is any better. Flavor aint bad. Real smooth. |

I wouldn't drink coffee if it came with a side of hookers and blow.
 I honestly don't understand how something that smells so delicious and tasty can have such a bitter taste. I WANT to like it, but just can't stand it ! |

I used to feel the same way you do. I could no possibly understand how my parents drank the stuff. It was nasty! I tried it many, many times in college, still hated it. Honestly, I cant remember what happened or when. I just started drinking it. Now, it is one of my favorite things to do. Especially while camping. Love it. Dont know where the bitter taste went. |

+1 on the Hills Bros. (Medium) Can't really explain it either. Used to not like it at all and then I started drinking it one day and decided that it was for me. I've been drinking it mornings for probably 10 years now and sometimes at night with Kalua and Baileys

Weird. Maybe I'll suddenly like it someday. I'm usually tempted by the smell to try it once or twice a year, so it could certainly happen. |

I had an ablation done on my heart a few years back. Between that and a small dose of beta blockers the tachycardia has been eliminated. With that said, any type of stimulant makes my pump dance like a teenage girl on X. The worst part of having an ablation done was when the butt ugly eastern indian nurse lady  yanked the catheter out of my pecker.

8:00 Coffee original Roast. It is only good if you grind the beans yourself.

I need to get some other kind of bean grinder then. I have one of those little ones where you put the beans in a cap that becomes the top.... but then when you open it up, you get grinds all over the place. I gave up on it. I think I need some kind of commercial deal where it will grind them right into the brew basket, no mess.

I started drinking coffee when my 1 year old decided that 5am is a good time to wake up and start his day. Like others have posted above, I love the smell of coffee, but have never liked the taste. I can make it tolerable by adding creamer and sweetener, but I would like to learn to like the taste if for nothing else to save on the calories.
For a while I was using a regular brewing pot, but my wife broke the pot while cleaning it one day. We bought one of these... www.homecafe.com/en_US/index.shtml mainly because I'm the only coffee drinker in the house and it's easier to make one cup at a time. We bought this one over the senseo because it accomodates larger cups. I drink mine out of the 16oz travel mugs. I've heard so many people say that the pod coffee sucks, and that regular folgers and the like all suck. So, what would be considered a good pod coffee? I would like to re-approach my taste for coffee with what may be considered good coffee. Maybe I only dislike coffee because I've only had what everyone considers crap? |

Get a burr grinder instead of a blade grinder. Blades don't grind evenly. The Solis Maestro is a good one. |

+1 Though I use the Columbian. My coffee maker has a built in grinder that grinds the beans fresh right before brewing. I can't control the grind of the beans, but it's pretty much a non-issue for me. |
