The Coffee Thread!

I tried Starbucks once in Ohare Airport. It was Wonderful. I thought it should have been a controlled substance. That was years ago. I bought a bag in our local store. It was nothing like I remember.
I got some black rifle coffee and the aroma when first opened could call me in from the back forty!
Mostly I drink a hazelnut flavored coffee from a small company. Wide Awake.

I have never tried either one. We just never go to any of the coffee shops for coffee. Bobby makes coffee here at home and that is all we ever drink.

Yvonne on one of my all nighters Jake had a soffee from Shell station here in Fort White.
Each cup is brewed fresh from coffee beans and he likes it.
Usually, we bring our own coffee in metal thermos but now he stops there and gets a cup.
 
Walmart had one of the French Press coffee makers available for reviewers, so I ordered one and it will be here tomorrow. I have been reading that people also use this gadget for straining plant milk, so I will be testing it out for that as well as making coffee with it.
Usually, Bobby makes a pot of coffee in the morning, and I have a cup of that, and that is my coffee for the day. Sometimes, I get up later and Bobby has already drank all the coffee, or the machine has shut down, so then I have to make my own coffee and I have a single serve coffee maker that I have been using for when that happens.

With the French press, I I just need to heat up the water, so I can use the electric kettle for making either hot coffee or hot tea, and it takes up less room than my single serve coffee maker does.
 
@John Brunner 's mention of the Power of Suggestion reminded me that I have been watching YouTube videos by Japanese creators lately. I enjoy seeing their cooking methods and notice that a couple of them make coffee with nifty little pre-loaded drip coffee packets. The packet of coffee is unfolded, placed in a cup or mug, and boiling water is poured over it. Then the disposable "pod" is thrown away.

I decided to see if those Japanese coffee packets are available in the US so off to Amazon I go. Of course there are several different brands so I picked a reasonably priced package to try. I don't recall ever tasting Japanese coffee.

Reminds me of the Tea rabbit hole I went down a while ago. People (mainly Brits) pack their own tea bags so they can enjoy their favorite cuppa while on holiday or traveling with work rather than settle for mass-produced tea bags, which are usually made from the dregs (fannings) of the loose leaf tea processing lines.

I just read that there are limited place in Japan where "a tiny amount" of coffee is grown, and the vast majority of the coffee roasted & sold there is from Brazil. Those packet setups are reminiscent of origami.
