The search for better coffee

This is what I have. Best coffee I have ever had at home. Also grind my own beans with a $10 mr coffee grinder.

I rather enjoy the free coffee at work....

Other than that I Keurig. Most are not very good. But there is a brand that uses recycled stuff for the cup that I enjoy. And it is one of the cheaper options.

 

I little vinegar is good for you
people don't eat anywhere as much pickled food as they used to

a little - let's not start dissolving teeth with over consumption


I'm thinking bout getting a juicer
thinking only

 

Chock full o nuts is pretty good. I think I'm off a little on spelling though. I'm a folgers and honey guy usually.

I drink a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar mixed with warm water, honey and coconut oil. Find it refreshing and supposedly good for you, for now.

 

a tablespoon of each ingredient? to how much warm water?[/QUOTE]
Little less than that on the honey, however much warm water to fill the coffee cup. I use local honey and organic a.c. vinegar and coconut oil.

 

We have two of these because the wife drinks decaf and I go full bore. The only drawback for me is no auto off. They are easy to maintain and keep clean which makes for a better cup of coffee.

I buy my beans here. Pretty good prices and lots to choose from.

I was at the grocery store getting the all important French Vanilla ice cream to accompany an apple pie a neighbor baked for us.... so I grabbed the already ground 8 O'clock regular stuff along with a New England Farms something blend.

The 8 O'Clock is decent, strong for my wife.

I also took the aforementioned advice and cleaned the coffee maker. Given this one is less than a year old, we are sticking with it. The water seems hotter, but that could just be the placebo affect.

I think the search continues. I might just jump in and start with fresh ground beans and just try a pound of this and that to see what we like. If I read correctly, most store beans in the freezer once opened?

 

The handling instructions on the higher end coffee I buy says "never freeze" FWIW

 

My automatic electric drip broke yesterday, had to break out the Melita drip, I can notice a big difference and I like it. I don't think the electric drip was getting the water hot enough and it spits out a little water at a time, with the Melita I pour on just enough water to gets the ground wet, wait a minute and then slowly pour the rest of the water.

 

Maxwell House Dark Roast....'nuff said

 

Another vote for the Aeropress. If you guys like good strong espresso or french press type coffee, this is the best $25 you'll ever spend. I thought I would use my french press forever, but it's been sidelined by this little thing. Give it a try if you haven't.

 

8 O'Clock has been up here at A&P in Canada for years and the stores carry the beans so you can grind it whatever way you like and take it home fresh ground. Now we get President's Choice premium dark roast and it is excellent. If you are up here in God's country stop at an Independent Grocers store or ask at any store about President's Choice and they'll point you to one. Good Coffee. $8.99 Canadian for 1kg large can. It's vacuum sealed so can stock a few. Michigan'ers can come across the ditch and get it.

 

A&P! Wow...it's been quite a few years (decades) since the one we had closed down. Great store.
I remember seeing a lot of arco coffee cans as I was growing up

 

I'm a Folgers Classic Roast drinker mainly but I usually keep a bag of Eight o'clock around for the evening pot. I use white vinegar full strength through our drip maker then run 3 pots of straight water. I only like the drip makers that brew into a thermal pot because I can't stand a pot that sits on a warmer for any amount of time.

 

Folgers Classic or Yuban is great perculated.

I home roast coffee beans and grind them as needed. Haven't used canned coffee for years.
