Coffee lovers come hither - what brand do you drink and how to you brew it?

I have switched from Black Rifle Coffee to SM Roasters.  Both Veteran owned.  SM Roasters has more zip and donates all proceeds directly to Veterans.  I was drinking Dunkin Donuts before switching to Black Rifle.

What is your favorite brand and how to do brew it?  I use just a general drip coffee machine. 

Any coffee is fine to me, so long as it isn't a day old or burned.  I prefer strong, hot, and black.  I'm not a coffee snob, and I detest paying $4-$5 for a cup of coffee.  I hate feeling stupid because I don't know the difference between a venti and a grande, and I hate feeling unsophisticated because I'm not into macchiato mocha cinnamon peppermint pumpkin coffee.  I hate stepping up to order a cup of coffee and being looked at by a barista like I'm a stupid hick because I don't have black horned rim glasses and I don't wear skinny fit jeans. Hell, I never knew what a barista was until a couple years ago.  

no coffee for me and I buy hubby the folgers singles for his fix in the am.....

I like coffee, but to me coffee is coffee, dont really care what brand it is, lol..I just use those little coffee pods I get at HEB and I have a cheap Farberware from Wal-mart that I brew my coffee in, super easy and I dont have to be a brain surgeon to use it.. 

I'm a regular ol Folgers girl and have the Bunn slow drip brewer.  My brother left me some Black Rifle coffee and it was pretty good, just not good enough for me to order online and justify the extra expense.  I do refuse Starbucks though.  Their regular coffee is too strong for me, even though i'm a bitter and black fan.  One of our designers brought me their Americana blend one time and it was pretty tasty, but I refuse to support their business, pay their prices, or wait in the long lines for a simple cup of coffee.  Honestly McDonalds coffee is pretty tasty I think if i'm on the go.  

Interesting.

Black Rifle is good coffee but honestly I don't lik the image of the SOF Warrior being used to sell coffee.  I think it that image is to be used than all the proceeds should go directly to a SOF Warrior Fund.  

We always drank Folgers and will probalby return because SM Roasters is pricey but they do so much good for our Veterans.  

Anyone try McDonalds brand coffee?

I love McDonalds coffee if i'm going to get a cup while out, but haven't bought grounds in stores.  I did try the K Cups once back when I had a Keurig, but must have gotten a defective box, as mucho grounds always ended up in my cup.  

I hear ya on the Black Rifle and agree.  My brother is a veteran, and from Austin, so he's really into it and left me a bag last year.  He lives in Austin now and is a police officer.  When my brother asked my husband what he thought of the BR coffee, husband said, "tastes like Austin". 

Folgers 100% Columbian, Mr coffee. I can't stand Starbucks. I did try Blackrifle not impressed.

That is so interesting.  When BRCC first came out we were all in.  There has been some recent backlash from Vet's on BRCC because of the commercialzation of the SOF Warrior.   

I like MCDonalds Coffee too.   Starbucks tastes burnt to me.  In fact the first time we ordered it we took it back and told them it was burned.  They laughed at us.  Country hicks that we are..lol.

We typically drink Folgers.  The CB isn't a fancy coffee type of guy.  But, I do have some Michigan Cherry that a friend from MI sent to us, and, we treat ourselves with a coffee that we get from a local winery called Wake The Dead.  We use a drip coffee maker thingy.

I really like Starbucks Cafe Verona blend and I make it with an espresso machine. I like strong, dark coffee with creamer. But the very best I've ever drank was in Jamaica. Blue Mountain Coffee beans I think is what they're called. 

Dunkin doughnuts original blend... can't go back to anything else after that. I buy the big tub at Sam's. 

We usually stick to Folgers but will buy Texas State of Mind brand sometimes.  It's pricier but my husband knew these boys that started the company so we try to support them at times.  It's really good.  Coffee is coffee to me though and I like dark and black.  I despise overrated Starbucks.  Honestly, just this Christmas my SIL was telling us her favorite coffee to buy off the shelf is McDonalds.  I haven't tried it yet.

I like Folgers.    Regular - medium blend.

I'm to cheap for Keurig and those little cups.   I'm too cheap for bought coffee such as Starbucks or others.  I won't drink gas station coffee unless it's cappuchinno (which isn't coffee by my standards.)

Not sure why I like Folgers....my real friend is Coffee Mate flavored creamers.  

All of them. I like all of the coffees.  (Not really, I'm not a fan of folgers or maxwell house - but I will drink it if that is all that's available).  McDonalds coffee & Black Rifle are both good.  Some of the Starbucks blends are okay if you make them at home (especially if you grind the beans yourself).  I like the Peet's coffee dark roast versions.   And recently to change things up a friend got us some of the CrioBru which is cocoa beans that are roasted, ground and brewed like coffee.  It's okay by itself but about half & half with a good dark roast coffee in the french press and it's a nice change to add a different flavor to your coffee that isn't sweet.  

We have a regular drip coffee pot w/ the single cup (k-cup) option on the side, a french press and an espresso machine.  Just depends on what I feel like on what I use to make it.  Since I've been working from home I brew myself a regular half pot in the morning but  I try to only brew one cup in the afternoon (If a brew a half pot I'll drink a half pot) so I use the k-cup part of the coffee pot or the french press.

If I'm still working from home come summertime I'm going to have to master the art of a good cold brew.  I love iced coffee in the summer.

I love coffee and used to only buy beans and grind them myself.  I never really stuck with a specific brand.  If I saw a flavor in a bean I liked I would get it.  Then I was just spending too much money on gourmet coffee beans.  Now I buy plain old Folgers Black Silk.    I use a drip coffee maker.  Had a Keurig.... threw it away!  Coffee was just ICK.   Bought a percolator.... to me this is THE BEST flavor.  Well I used it up/burned it up.  Back to the drip coffee maker now.  I have it on a programed timer.  Some mornings I wake up well before the coffee has started dripping and I am nothing but mad because I have to wait for it to drip.   Ha!

i still don/t know   never will i pay that for a cup of coffee

i drink chock gull of nuts its a good coffee i do add creamer no sugar  i drink about  pots a day  i have a mr coffee  . i make a pot turn off nuke it cup by cup. i drink coffee at night up till bedtime

starbuck smells burned  to me

I was religiously drinking Black Rifle but recently switched to Death Wish and I love it.

Pretty sure folgers supplies dunkin.i do foldgers and a bunn coffee maker

Another one for Folgers and a Bunn drip coffee maker. Every once in awhile I'll buy a can of Don Francisco's Vanilla Nut coffee when I'm feeling fancy or I lost my little coffee can I use for a dog food scoop.

Eight O'clock or Green Moutain medium roast.  I like k cups my husband like his brewed.

When My hubby is home we use beans froms Specs and grind them at home. Right now we use these 2 flavors: Jamaica me crazy and Irish whiskey cream....

When he is not home I use my Senseo machine. It's a 1-2 cup machine that uses pads, and have different flavors, my favorites are vanilla latte and mocca.
Walmart used to sell both machines and pads, but then Keurig came on the market..... so now my mom sends me them from the Netherlands... much cheaper than to buy the from Amazon. 

Mmmm, Folgers Hazelnut is my new go to. 

If I'm grinding my own, then hands down, my favorite is 100% pure Kona coffee. It's flavorful without being bitter. Truly delicious coffee!!

With the Keurig, I like Folgers or Duncan Donuts with a spoonful of good South Dakota honey.

I won't pay the $$ for Starbucks, but Randy lures me in to work every day with a Venti Quad Espresso, 1 pump caramel. I have a bit of a problem with the need for caffeine. I gripe at him for doing it constantly....in between sucking it down, of course.

All of that said, I'll happily drink truck stop coffee also. As long as it isn't decaf and relatively warm, I'm up for it.

I've had Starbucks, Peet's, eight of clock, Dunkin doughnuts, Folgers, maxwell house, and probably more LOL. The last few years I found that organic doesn't hurt my stomach so that's what I mostly buy now. The last stuff I bought was from a local company here is california. Humboldt bay coffee. It's Pretty good. I try to buy local when I can otherwise I buy from vitacost  or target usually get kicking horse brand. 

Where do you get the SM Roaster coffee?

Gilbertspecans, Santo, Texas sells some goooood coffee -- right now, we are loving A Cozy Winter's Night.

There is a company in Gainesville TX that sells a pecan coffee and we get it medium grind so we can cold brew it in a mason jar with a custom cylinder strainer.

And there is a local coffee shop in our town square  that started selling coffee and they have some good, hand picked flavors - "Small Town" and "Lost City"....we have never been Folgers type - my husband and I like trying different things :)  And brewing your own does end up being cheaper than the Latte's I used to get all the time at SB.

We also like HEB Texas Pecan -- it's in pretty high demand around here.

coffee – Stocking Mill Coffee

Where do you buy your Kona Coffee?  Kona is good good coffee!

I get it from a locally-owned coffee shop. Kona blends are fairly easy to find, but pure Kona can be quite hard to locate. It's worth the effort though!

I buy Folgers and I do love it. However, someone mentioned Kona coffee and I will say I absolutely LOVE Kona coffee and when I was in Hawaii I remember thinking it was the best coffee I have ever had (on several occasions). So now I am off to order some

I really like the Starbucks blonde but recently decided to try Bones. Saw an ad on Facebook and decided to give it a try. They're mostly flavored which is more my preference. We buy whole bean, fresh ground and use a French Press. More work than I want to do but my husband assures me is the way to go

I use a Kuerig and my favorite is Rio Grande Roasters ( medium blend) I get at Sams but a friend just gave me a box of Cameron's Pecan!! Oh my is it delicious! I do use almond joy creamer. 

Please do share where to buy pure Kona Coffee - it's amazing!  Thanks. 

Off to DuckDuckGo to find Kona coffee

Dunkin

8 o'clock colombian is my go to. There are some local roasters around me that I buy from sometimes as well. I've tried Black Rifle, but I didn't like it anymore than 8 o'clock and it's so much more expensive.

Community Coffee Signature Dark roast

K cups I like the amazon brand solimo, they are much more reasonably priced than other cups. I also like donut shop. Brewed coffee I like the starbucks pike place bagged coffee but we only use that on the weekends because I get up much earlier than my fiance and it would be cold by the time he gets up.

Amazing coffee, Veterans. Pro 2A. Awesome.  My favorite blend is Silencer Smooth.

A veteran-owned and operated business, Black
Rifle Coffee Company gives back through the many
veteran and first responder causes we support
BRCC gives preference to veteran-owned
businesses as our vendors and suppliers
BRCC is committed to hiring 10,000 veterans as
we grow
We strive to ensure our nation's defenders have the
energy they need by regularly sending our coffee to
service members deployed overseas

Pretty much anything except Community.

Death Wish is really good coffee.  I haven't had any in a long time, now I'm gonna have to go order some.  The Valhalla blend that they sell is really good as well.

This is my favorite too. The Freedom blend.

Black Rifle!-Some of the proceeds from sales go to veterans

Several years ago (The Boys were still little), I wound up being up all night after getting off work @ 0300..................I went into McDonald's for a coffee, got outside, took a sip and spit it out! It was horsepee! Haven't attempted to drink McDonald's Coffee since! I needed the caffenine to perk me, but not like that! heheheheheh

I won't even set foot in a Starbucks, much less drink their overpriced coffee. I travel alot and have found that HEB in Texas has a good selection of coffee. I too like BRCC, however, it is not always easy to order online with a stable receiving address.

Speaking of coffee... curious how you clean your coffee makers and pots... I have one that tells me when its time to clean... by flashing  the "clean" sign at me about every few months. I use distilled or bottled spring water in my coffee maker only... our well water proved to be too hard for it. I use melita filters in it as well. Lately I've been using white vinegar to clean it. I run a few pot fulls thru it and then run plain water after.

What .. you are supposed to clean your coffee pot?

I just ordered Spartan Brew - another great Veteran owned brand.   Will keep you posted.

 When I first purchased it, it came with this neat little water filter thing, I couldn't ever find a refill for it so I just removed it. Running a few pots of vinegar thru it seems to work,  the flashing "clean" stops after I do it lol! I don't know.. 

Made from scratch hot chocolate!! LOL!

Not a coffee drinker . . 

Too Funny,... My coffee snob Hubby loves community.. He orders it in as we cant buy it in Colorado

I cannot tolerate the Community chicory coffee -- BUT I love their Signature Dark Roast (no chicory!)

I have a new addiction - saw a box of it at the grocery store & paid their price for the keurig cups & now order it from Keurig.  It's the Donut Shop Peppermint Bark.  OMG is it good!  It smells like hot chocolate when it brews and I just love it!  I only "allow" myself one cup/day though (that's plenty for my craving too!), since I have to have creamer in it & don't want to use too many calories in a day, LOL!  If you like anything like that, it's yummy.  

I use to work for Starbucks, I can tell you it most likely was burnt. When I was in training, they told us to make the perfect pot of coffee with their coffee, the water had to be ice cold to room temperature. Most of the baristas either have never been told that or don't care, and put warm/hot water in to brew it. 

Community. It has been the STATE coffe of LA for years for a reason. When th whole state loves I, it can't be bad. You can by it with it without chicory. Chicory us not goid. 

I'm a hot tea person, but my husband drinks Arbuckle Coffee. They have many many flovors but he likes just plain coffee. We order it 4 packages at a time.  Plus it comes with a peppermint stick in each package  

I started drinking Peets. Great coffee. I order it on line. They are in Washington State. They are great with shipping to

I drink the Original Dunkin Donuts brand.  I buy it either at Sams or Walmart.  

chock full of nuts

I have no idea what kind it was but I tried a cup that was made at our church... they make it in a cast iron Dutch oven looking hanging pot out front when you walk in. It's cowboy church. Woweeeee! It was way to strong for me... I could barely keep my feet still during service. Then they told me there was 2 kinds of coffee available... the kind you drink and the kind you chew. I know which one I will avoid next time. Lately I've been buying some from a small grocery store called Wide awake coffee company.  It's very good and inexpensive.  

Black Rifle 

Well now I am off to try some SM Roasters

I really like black rifle coffee and death wish.

Atta girls.

I dropped Black Rifle.  SM Roasters or MinuteMan Coffee.  Every dime of SM Roasters directly supports veterans. 

Yes! Kona is the best. I call it my velvet coffee.  I like to use a French press and sometimes I add ground cocoa beans 3:1 ratio

Grounds and Hounds Coffee is good, and helps dogs in need! A great cause. Have a cup...Save a pup!! 

I drink the ground Starbucks because my other half can get it really cheap through this workplace. We wouldn't drink it otherwise most likely. We get the Breakfast Blend and the Veranda.  We have tried a couple of different brands. Thomas Coffee is a St Louis/Midwest brand. We used to buy that one a lot.  Black Rifle was ok. Depends on the blend on what we like from them I liked the Silencer Smooth but the other half liked the Gunship and Free. I don't really care because I put so much creamer in mine most people would roll their eyes, but the other half drinks it black so he is pickier than I am on the brew. I have a Keurig and use a reusable k-cup and use ground coffee in it and that works really well. I found a lady on a women in ag FB group that roasted and ground coffee but I can't remember the name of the company. I wanted to get some. So if anyone knows what I might be talking about, let me know! 

I really, really love coffee, since I was 16, and I guess I am really a coffee snob.

First, since coffee is one of the most highly pesticided food products in the entire world, I always use Organic.  Light roast is the best for your body, so I pick Organic Light Roast.

Here are the 3 best I've tried lately:

Caribou Light Roast

Bulletproof Breakfast Blend (light roast)

Kicking Horse Hola, Light Roast

Wow, that was hard to admit and I feel like I need to attend a Tuesday night Coffee Snob Overcomer's meeting.  Hope you try these coffees and enjoy!!

Dunkin Donut's coffee is pretty good.  I tried to save money and bought Aldi coffee....not worth the the savings at checkout!

Black Rifle is expensive and since they are going public with a multiple billion dollar initial offering I don't feel the same about it.   There are veteran coffee's we support like SM Roasters.

Keep the coffee talk coming!

My hubby's family is originally from WY and this brand of coffee is located in South Dakota I believe but they had this brand when we visited for Christmas. Dark Canyon Coffee- https://darkcanyon-coffee.com/

They had Toasted Almond and Creme Brulee and they were amazing! I need to order some and get it shipped because it's hands down the best I've had! 

I'm not much of a coffee snob, but I like a good cup or two in the morning. I like it strong, sometimes with cream and sugar. I'm not crazy about designer coffees with all sorts of flavors, syrups, and creams.  Coffee has been persecuted for a century.  It's been blamed for mental illness, heart disease, ulcer disease, strokes, and various cancers.  It's all bunk.  Several studies have shown that coffee is safe. In fact, modest and even heavy coffee consumption is inversely related to mortality risk from cardiovascular disease.  In other words, if anything, coffee is one of the rare things we consume that is good for you!  

Hot tea LOL , but my husband drinks Arbuckles. He likes Plainsman & Arizona Sunshine. Lots of their flavors have chocolate in them.  

Don't know the brand but it was from India.  It was bold and great tasting without the bitter after taste. My go to local is yuban better than Duncan or Folgers.

Starbucks - typically the breakfast blend. My hubby gets it at a discount on it through work. 

Cattlemen's Coffee.  

I've been getting community coffee K-cup pods. I figure it's better to support them than Starbucks since they sponsor rodeos and the cowboy channel.

I like dark and the Columbian style of OTC coffees.  I also, really like the McDonalds coffe (was buying it fro wally world) .

Dunkin Donuts gives me heartburn and so does hazel nut.

The resturant here in my town has a brand that I really like, but I don't know the name of it.

I too am a coffee snob ?? I have the same requirements and l really like the light roast organic store brand at Albertsons
