Cubita coffee is very good stuff, especially in espresso. I like mostly dark coffee. Green Mountain makes a double black diamond I have yet to try but I have heard good things. Their dark magic is good. Caribou obsidian and mahogany are also smooth and very little bitterness.
I have not forayed too much in to specialty boutique type coffees to date but my 2 cents is get a kuerig. They make the best coffee I have ever tasted. I myself am into the darker roasts and the green mountain varieties that have been issued are spectacular. I particularly like the Dark Magic and the Sumatran blend. I have also tasted the Kirklands dark and it has a great flavor.
Hell this thread is teaching me some good stuff. I think I may have to get me a French press. Sounds like I have been missing out.
I've been reading everyone talk about the French press so I went and got one at Target today. As soon as I got home pulled it out of the box and made some coffee. Everyone was right, it is SO much better prepared that way! Thanks so much everyone for showing me what I was missing out on
Well, I went ahead and ordered a pound of Peets Aged Sumatra ground to accommodate my French press. I'll let you guys know if I can taste it and, if so, what I think of it. It ought to be here in a few days if Peets follows my shipping instructions to NOT ship it via UPS. Otherwise, it could take a fecking week to get here.
Major Dickason's must be an eastern brand. I don't believe I've ever heard of it. Is there something special about it? Exotic imported beans or something? Deep roast or light?
