Anything from Ethiopia. Yirgachefe, specifically.

Nespresso
Easy to use cups, lots of choice, patent expired

Douwe Egberts (dutch) is really good too.

I know people who swear by the second one.
Nesspresso is great, but the cups average about a buck a cup, which is expensive for home coffee.
I use SF Bay coffee and it's only 25-28 bucks on amazon for 80 k cups.
But if you're just starting out, Peets and Starbucks at costco are fine.

I just drink black coffee and sprinkle cinnamon into it. tastes amazing. zero calories etc

Does anyone use a French press for coffee? I use them for tea and triceps but never have for coffee.

I like Aldi's fair trade dark and medium roast. No artifical flavors, dyes, etc....just pure coffee and its only 3.99 a bag.

Almost invested in a coffee company a while back.
Surprised to learn the largest coffee producing country wasnt Columbia or anywhere in Africa, it was Vietnam. And Vietnam is typically a tea drinking nation. However "vietnamese coffee" is unique (in the way its served, not grown).

Honest question. If this thread were titled "Wine Drinkers," would you have almost invested in a vineyard a while back, too?

Nope.
Sorry if people like you have never done shit and think anybody who's done something you havent must be lying.
Somebody posts a thread about something i have a related experience with and it jogs my memory and i comment. What the fuck is so hard to understand? Around the same time as the coffee i also had 2 little oil wells in Oklahoma to consider. Didnt get involved with any of them. This was when oil was 120+ and coffee futures were way up because of weather projections predicting a record low production year. So they were all opportunities i considered.
People like you sound like if they were told the earth was round youd call the person a liar because youve never seen otherwise.

I got a KEURIG (K-Cup) machine last September for my birthday and it TOTALLY changed my opinion on coffee,
of all the ones I tried these by far are the tastiest and I just never get tired of them!!! https://www.folgerscoffee.com/coffees/k-cup-pods/hazelnut-cream-k-cup-pods (https://www.folgerscoffee.com/coffees/k-cup-pods/hazelnut-cream-k-cup-pods)

Nah, bro. You're just butthurt because I bought the vineyard is all. Not my fault you got all stupid with coffee.

Sorry if people like you don't understand a guy who just says hedge schmedge and buys some fucking grapes. Look, somebody posts a thread that jogs my fantastical, childlike imagination and I tell a whopper - what the fuck is so hard to understand?
People like you sound like if people like me told people like you about the time people like me saw a 900-foot Jesus in Tulsa, Oklahoma, people like you would call people like me liars because people like you have never done shit, like people like me.

Just don't buy ground coffee. Cheap beans > expensive grids.

A 30k investment in a share of a coffee producer is a whopper? Its like playing telephone with 1 person with people like you.
People like you remind me of riding in a car with somebody from the midwest when they see some "kid" under 30 in a c-class benz and them making a comment "somebody took mommy & daddys car out for the night"... Because THEY couldnt fathom somebody driving a $30k entry level car under the age of whatever just because THEY couldnt/havent. Sad.

Don't buy refill cups...they are not good for the environment and way too expensive. If you have to use a K-Cup, use a refillable.

SFBay "k-cups" are biodegradable mesh.
But the best coffee I had at home was using one of the stovetop things you posted. Absolute gas.

Vince, when you're at the Verizon Call Center, what type of coffee do you drink?
I bet you drink a mean cup of java!! Caffe Latte with Nonfat Milk and 2 sugars with a shot of espresso!

I've had this and the flavor is excellent.

People like me are mostly entertained by your Walter Mitty tales. So the reality card probably shoulda been left unplayed, as it's self-defeating. Apologies.
And BRAVO! on the no-coffee telephone playing with the 30x3 C-Class whatsit and the midwest kid. Well done, sir. People like me ("the 100%" has a nice ring) wish only that you keep 'em coming.

True story. The guy that invented the K-cup sold his idea to Green Mountain coffee for a cool $50K haha, they then sold for $3 billion. Fucking moron.

Money wasnt mine. Was investor money when i ran the investment fund.
"Kid" in the c class wasnt me. I wouldnt drive a c class. Rather have a prenowned e class. Rather have a prenowned s class than a new e class... Unless its a new E43.
Back to coffee... Few yrs ago i really droppednthe ball on investing in green mountian.. Even if just calls/puts on GMCR. That was years after shutting down the previous investment stuff however.

Always wanted to own a small chunk of soil in Pinar del Rio, one of the tobacco-rich Cuban provinces. Not to make money so much, I just wanna hang out and smoke cigars. And watch 'em work, I find the process fascinating. Cigars are a beautiful thing.
It'd be extra cool visiting Hemingway's pre-Castro Cuba of the 40s and 50s. Live on the beach, fish for marlin. Write crappy short stories, then hit the cantina. Same thing every day, it'd be perfect.

Never considered cuba. Good friend of mine, alfonso, old school fella only 46 but looks 66, from cuba. "Escaped" about 20yrs ago. Lived/lives in miami and owned/owns a flooring company doing marble/granite floors amdnstufd and also a truck driver (got caught with a pound& a half coke in a fender of a truck he was driving.. Actually didnt know it was there/wasnt his truck. Gotta year in prison)... Says Cuba absolutely sucks and if he got deported he'd leave again even with obamas changes. His english sucked. He's where i learned a lot of my spanish which is why a lot of my spanish is with cuban words rather than Mexican despite me running a business outbof mexico forna long time, growing up in SoCal and having mexican gfs. Had stories for days smuggling cuban cigars to the dominican republic and putting D.R. rings i
On them to sell in the u.s. .. Whixh i didnt know was a common practice. Apparently there's a lottanrussians innxuba still, especially in the military and around bases (everybody has to serve in the military or go to prison). Alfonso actually looked more russian than cuban.. Didnt look cuban at all. Was my height 6ft/6'1" 220+lbs buzzedngreynhair and blue eyes/white skin. Lol.. Even spoke russian a lil.
Anyways... Says cuba sucks. Plenty of other countries in that area id rather live in or visit.
-
Supposed to be something special about this soil, but I think local climate might have more to do with it.
(Because when they transplant(ed) both leaf and soil in the nearby Dominican, and it still doesn't taste quite Cuban ...)

It's all about the cigar/Hemingway/40s-50s fantasy I've created in my head. OF COURSE the reality (besides being impossible) would totally suck. But a ni66a can dream, right?
-
officially switched to Decaf - well 50% of the time
fav is sugar free black cinnamon dolce - large - starbucks from the twink barista who loves me in workout tights
best tasking coffee!

Totally possible. Im not familar with tax laws or immigration details (legal or not) or cost of living in areas around there (dutch vs british owned islands.. Aruba for example).. Or puerto rico (still u.s. but a shithole) d.r. Jamaica or wherever, but living in any of those places is totally possible. Fuck Hemingway and living his stoey... Why not create your own?
Succeed or fail, at least you'll have a story to remember and tell when you're 60... Or in jail. Lol. That's how I've always liked at things since i was 16-17 or so anyway.

High lithium content in the soil

I am partial to Rojo's Roastery and Klatch Coffee.

Shouldn't the Dominicans taste identical, then? Cuban leaf, soil, whole shebang, just grown elsewhere.

Many do. Like i said eaelier, my Cuban buddy talked about how.cigars with no rings/bands/labels are shipped by boat to the D.R. and banded as Dominicans.just gotta know which ones. I wasn't all that interested at the time sincenthe price was about the same ($30ish vs. $40ish for a cohiba or Monte Cristo...id rather have a Romeo y Julieta)

My favorite actually isn't Cuban, either; though those I've had were mostly delicious. Almost a buttery flavor, if such a word applies.
But this Fuente Chateau Natural is my new best ever cigar: 4.5x50, about $4 each online. Dominican Republic - burns slow, ridiculously smooth, tastes fantastic. First draw to the last.
