The Coffee Thread!

[Krystal Shay]

One of the neighbors has some Starbucks coffee that she didn’t want, and she gave it to us to try. It is a Pike Place blend, which said it has notes of chocolate and praline. It is a decaf, which is maybe why she didn’t want it, but I thought it would work for me if I have coffee later in the day.
It has been a long time since I have had Starbucks coffee, and the flavor is a lot stronger than I remembered it being. My first cup was too strong for me, but the next cup I used less coffee and it was better. I think I just have to get used to the Starbucks deeper flavor again.

I don't like starbucks coffee at all! To me, it tastes like burnt coffee with notes of incineration.

I will not use or buy Starbucks.

I, too, loathe Starbucks.

Even setting aside philosophical differences, I don't care for Starbucks coffee, particularly at their prices. I prefer McDonald's or Dunkin'.

We use Keurig K-Cups now my daughter has us on automatic delivery for Eight o'clock coffee pods.
I personally can drink just about any brand as long as it's a medium roast I don't like strong coffee. When we were perking coffee, my favorite was Chock Full of Nuts, however I would drink anything that was on sale.

I do like Starbucks but only by the cup from one of their stores. I also love their lemon pound cake. I never buy Starbucks ground coffee or kcups, though.

That's another thing, those coffee cups to make coffee. I do not like them at all. No matter what brand is used, it still doesn't taste like coffee to me.

I like Starbucks bottled iced coffees, but not the ones you get at their stores.

I don't like Iced coffee or iced tea of any kind. I am a fussy one.

Every now & then, while watching TV/ You-tube etc. Latte, Cappuccino , or Expresso will be mentioned.

I have [some] idea of what they [each] are, so my question is .... Are any/either of them worth the effort to make ? I know there are some dedicated machines made, are those worth the expense ?

Tried Iced coffee .... didn't care for it. But I do like good iced tea. Pure leaf [slightly sweet] bottled ,is my current favorite.

In my opinion, no. I have owned a pricey espresso machine but seldom used it and ended up giving it away. I'm not a fan of flavored coffee or fancy toppings, so I couldn't care less about specialty drinks. I just like a good cup of coffee.

I'll take what you like ,not in mood for experimenting.
I now use Folgers.

I am having my Four Sigmatic mushroom coffee blend, for mental clarity, positive moods, and energy. It is delicious and has the mushroom extracts to help with making my whole body feel and work better.
Four Sigmatic makes several blends of mushroom enhanced coffees, and they all have different benefits for health. I make it a cup at a time as I want it, usually one cup in the mornings, but I am having my first cup for today right now, and had some of Bobby’s McCafe Columbian earlier.

Like I said in a prior post I can drink any coffee as long as it's a medium roast I'm not fussy at all. For me the best thing about coffee is being called the "Grind Grabber", I grab the grinds and I put the grinds around my plants. My zucchini prefer cappuccino.Haha

I have a new favorite! I prefer dark roast coffees so I usually drink a French roast. I used to buy the Community Coffee in the Dark & Bold Espresso but I tried this Intense and it's great. Very smooth and no bitterness.
