I've never had a burnt taste, I always get a chalky taste but I usually get mocha's, so either way I avoid them.laker1963:urbino:
We must have been separated at birth, doogie. I've always said *exactly* the same thing about Starbucks coffee. Then I was in there one day because . . . well, it was there . . . and one of the baristas was making himself a pot of Guatemala-Antigua in a French press. He offered me some, and doggone it, it was actually very good.laker1963:Did you say Starbucks ??? EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW !! They get some nice blends there but ever time I buy a coffee at SB it taste the same, BURNT form over roasting.
I don't think they ever make it in the stores. I've never seen it on the menu, anyway. Unfortunately, they don't sell the beans in a decaf version, so I have to buy House Blend beans for when I want decaf. It's less burnt than their other stuff.
So what you're saying is the best cup of coffee you ever had at SB wasn't SB coffee? LOL -
Yeah, Phob's the flavored coffee is what they excell at, not regular coffee.

Never have. I've never had any of the "coffee drinks," actually. I'm a black coffee man. I'd probably like them if I tried them, though.gmill880:eve r tried the white chocolate mocha- -
Pretty much. Their beans, but not their brew.laker1963:So what you're saying is the best cup of coffee you ever had at SB wasn't SB coffee? LOL -
dep691:laker1963:How do you like your coffee beans roasted light, med. or dark? I am waiting for a new order of beans to arrive (hopefully today!!!), let me know how you like them roasted and I will send you out a trial of the Sumatra Mandheling. This one is my favorite.
I already have sent out the package of sticks but let me know your roast preferrence and I will fire out some killer beans to you Urb's.Do you use a French Press when you make the coffee?
Yeah the French press is the only way to go, but I do wish they would make larger ones. I have a French Press stainless steel "pot" but it just barely makes enough for the wife and I. Any company and you're making endless pots. Not a huge deal, but when you roast the beans, grind them, and then make the coffee it tends to seem like a lot of work for a good cup of joe. -
if its a cigar im not familiar with, or im looking for the cigar to be the main component in my experience, water only. if im with a freind after dinner, we will have a dark beer with our smokes. once in a while if I just want to go outside, and incidently have a cigar ill have a beer with it. now if you want to talk about after cigar eating, oooooh buddy, thats fun stuff. have some buttered french bread after a cigar, AWSOME. personaly I love having chocolate or oreos after smoking a cigar, tastes like smores lol.

I prefer to drink unsweetened ice tea. It is simple, but it also quenches the thirst on a hot day; which where I live is most of the time. Occassionally I will drink an asian beer with cigar such as Kirin Ichiban or Tiger. These beers are typically paired with spicey dishes and known for a more subtle tastes; which dont overpower the cigar at all.

I like a mellow bourbon or Tullamore Dew on the rocks. Something nice and melow to complement. And it wont kill the palate
