Question for coffee drinkers

katieh1017 · September 2012

If you make coffee at home what brand do you use? Can you recommend a good one? I am looking for something more light, nothing too bold.

We don't use anything special. Just Folgers breakfast blend. We get the big tub from Costco... it's cheap and tastes good to us.

I use to drink (I no longer drink coffee) Keurig-Green Mountain Breakfast Blend. A great balance in taste... not to bold - not to weak... Perfect!

We drink Dunkin donuts. I love the cinnamon spice.

We usually use folgers because its cheap but good, but we do ocasionally get Dunkin donuts.

I have been using Folgers too...just looking for a change. Thanks ladies!

DD, baby. Best coffee ever.

Best thing I ever did was get a Keurig. I love Green Mountain's Golden French Toast and Pumpkin Spice. They are both a light roast (so not at all bold). I don't even put cream or sugar in them!

We use Starbucks Kenya blend. I live the variety they have. The new blonde roast is really nice, too.

Yea, I do love the Keurig. There was one at work and hazelnut was my favorite, but then I moved to another floor and no Keurig (that was on the Corporate fancy floor). Keurig is on my Christmas list!

Mine was a gift too! First, I got the mini one, but don't get that one. It leaks. Get one that has a water tank. DH hated mine leaking so much that he bought me an upgraded one for mother's day.

I pick a tub up from TJs when we are there. Right now we have the mellow blend i think it is called. It's "mild". I usually get a dark roast but hubby says then it tastes all burnt.

I love peets also, any kind from them I've bought has been great.

I guess I'm a slight coffee snob as I'm slightly horrified when I go somewhere and there is only Folgers available to make. I'll still drink it though. I love coffee.

Oh and I like Dunkin Donuts when I have a bag of it and make it myself. But I HATE DDs coffee from an actual DDs. I think becuase they make it weak as sh!t or something, I don't know. But it tastes terrible to me.

I'm a coffee snob. I mostly drink Hawaiian Isles Kona coffee. Especially the Vanilla Macadamia Nut. My parents vacation in Hawaii every Spring and bring it home for me since it is so cheap there. My stash is low now, so I save it for the weekends when I can enjoy it and am trying new brands during the week. Currently I am drinking a Kirkland brand, which is tolerable with tons of creamer.

Trader Joe's has great coffees, so we get different ones there each time we go. We have a grind & brew so buy the whole beans. Right now it's a Kona blend...yumm.

DevonPow · September 2012

We mix it up...I like Peets coffee (major dickinsons blend), Trafer Joes Bali Blue Moon, Starbucks (I loooooooove their Christmas blend and stock up at the holidays). DH is pickier than me and orders random Dean and Deluca blends all the time.

I really like Caribou coffee. I buy the bag and put it in my re-usable Keurig filter. I find that this coffee sits the best with my stomach in the morning and it smells delicious!

snoangel79 · September 2012

I just grabbed Dunks Pumpkin. I like flavored though mostly.

BeenieBaby0406 · September 2012

I'm a diehard DD fan (like, every day on the weekends), but at home or in the office i brew Peet's. It's so smooth that i can drink it black! mm now i want a second cup!

BelleWithABlade · September 2012

I usually make my coffee at home too. I like to grind my own beans because I think it makes it taste better too. I have a cheap like 30 dollar grinder from bed bath and beyond. I have tried all sorts of coffee. I used to use gevalia, starbucks morning blend, or dunkin donuts, but recently I discovered Jose brand from costco. It's inexpensive and really, really good! It's a good medium blend, not too bitter Give it a try!

I found some medium roast organic coffee at costco for really cheap and have been using it. It's kind of "meh", I really like the italian roast from Starbucks I've found. I am more of a dark roast girl, very bold. So probably not helpful :P
