Does anyone taste differences on brands of coffee. I do not know if it is me or not but I do not. I get whatever is cheaper at that time and to me it tastes the same unless you add some espresso beans to it then it has a difference in taste. Favoured coffee I do taste the flavour from Hazelnut or French Vanilla. I am talking about standard coffee. Am I just odd or not as in tune with the coffee as others. I drink 6 cups a day and only add equal to it. |

I have a "subscription" ( if that's the proper word for it) to Gevalia coffee. I can tell a distinct difference between their French Roast and say Maxwell House French Roast. The Gevalia is quite a bit smoother to me. The 8 O'Clock brand coffee, no matter which roast, seems bitter to me. I refuse to drink instant coffee. I bring my own coffee and pot when I vist my father. All he drinks is Taster's Choice instant. However, I've been called a "coffee snob" by more than one person so YMMV.

I'm not a coffee connoisseur but I can absolutely taste the difference between a cheap Robusta coffee vs a good Arabica coffee. I can not stand the cheap stuff. I won't even drink the free stuff they offer us at work. I also can not stand to drink any of that flavored stuff - no way! I prefer a plain old fresh ground cup of regular black coffee. I have my own coffee maker in my office and brew my own fresh ground. I do like different bean styles, mainly either Columbian, Sumatra, or French/Italian Roast. |

I hate starbucks. Their coffee tastes like shit and is overpriced. Took one sip and dumped it in the street. I prefer Dunkin Donuts, Tim Hortons, and Burger king coffee. Like it black with nothing in it, the way God intended. The coffee at work is a LIQUID CONCENTRATE. It is HORRIBLE. S.O. |

Not to be a coffee snob, but I know a lot about coffee. When it comes down to it, the best coffee is whatever you like the best. It could be a cheap Brazilian bean that Maxwell & Folgers uses or Starbucks. It's whatever you enjoy. Starbucks uses quite a bit of robustas with their central and south American beans. Robustas are sorta like chicory. A cheap extender. My favorite is Kona Extra Fancy or Fancy. Followed by Columbian Supremo or Excelso. |

Try this link: Coffee the Roasted Kenya AA is awesome....with shipping it is still cheaper than some others i have tried ...and better... fred |
My wife and I usually opt for opt for Folgers or Maxwell house for our daily caffeine fix. Mainly as a convience and a time saver, not because its all that great or anything. But when we want a really good cup of coffee, I break out the old metal percolator and make it in that. She sometimes drinks the flavored stuff, but I won't touch it. I take mine black. Another thing i've noticed is that some of the restaurants that use those Bunn industrial-size coffee makers have some very good coffee. I like those old heavy ceramic mugs they serve it in also.
