I will close whatever you require for coffee.

I just bought another bag of beans yesterday. My God, that smells good, so good.

What brand do you think is good, BigV? Beans for espresso.

I like Lowery's Premium Roast. I usually get Espresso Reale (not shown, interestingly) or Elliot Bay Fogcutter, they're both very good. I buy five pound bags of beans and grind them one pot at a time. I grind it espresso fine and use my french press for regular coffee. This usually means there's *plenty* of actual coffee beans ground exceptionally fine in my cup. I like it that way. I sometimes get other brands, Starbucks, Millstone, Five Star, or other local roasters to change things up. I think my favorite region is Sumatra, it is just delicious. I am not especially fond of very dark roasts like French Roast.

Spexxvet, I have done the math on my coffee costs and it comes out to $0.12 per cup with the coffee described above. Please note, I get it at the store for about $42/bag, not the higher price plus shipping. TOTALLY worth it.

Thanks, V. Sounds like you like your coffee dark too. I have an espresso machine so I toss the beans into the machine and it grinds the beans when it makes the coffee(espresso).

I am going to get a cup right now.

Eight O'Clock Coffee is the best.

Coffee is the driving force that makes second (and third) shift possible.

SteveDallas · 04-04-2012, 02:37 PM

Also: my office has a Keurig coffeemaker and complimentary K-cups.

I will never turn my nose up at free coffee. However, news flash: "Folger's Gourmet" is an oxymoron.

The Folgers K-Cups are terrible. Stick with Coffee People, Caribou, and Newman's

SteveDallas · 04-04-2012, 03:40 PM

I stick with whatever the office purchases! There are usually several choices, though, so I'm rarely forced to use the Folger's.

I like jet fuel and green mountain dark magic

Yummy. I go for Jet Fuel, Black Tiger, Wake Up Call, Wolfgang Puck Caffe Vienna, Tree Hugger, and Caribou Obsidian. I go for the Dark Magic if I can't get any of those.
