Does the brand of coffee make a difference?

1. Well,

some are certainly better than others.

[Ohiogal]

2. Absolutely!

[AJT]

3. Most definitely.

[OriginalGeek]

4. I'll drink whatever True Dough brings me

I trust him not to bring Starbucks

[blm]

5. Lolol

.

[True Dough]

13. No worries

May your cup floweth over, OriginalGeek!

[OregonBlue]

6. I guess that depends on if you really love coffee or if you

Just drink it for the caffeine.

[happybird]

11. I just drink it for the caffeine

But I still have standards!

It has to be dark, rich, and tasty enough to stand up to all the sugar and whole milk (and a spoon or two of vanilla-cocoa powder-cinnamon sugar) I put in there.

[spooky3]

27. And since I don't put anything in it, I like mine weak!

Except I do like hazelnut coffee.

[TuxedoKat]

31. Yes

I only drink it black so I don’t like it too strong either.

[OregonBlue]

34. So, you really don't like coffee but do like mocha. Num!

[csziggy]

39. You like your coffee the same way I like mine!

In fact a friend once commented I like a little bit of coffee with my sweet milk.

Right now I am on a low card diet so I've taken up drinking hot tea with a couple of packs of Splenda. Since tea is such a different experience, it is keeping me satisfied.

22. Kick Ass is my favorite

I can't afford it all the time, but when I can, I LOVE it.

[democratisphere]

8. Strong French Roast, Black

[OregonBlue]

35. Now that is what I call a cup of coffee. A bit much for me

but OMG does it get you going.

[democratisphere]

41. Supercharged and wide eyed and bushy tailed.

[OregonBlue]

44. Sorta like taking a couple hits of Adderall. LOL.

[democratisphere]

45. Or maybe like a large mug of double espresso.

[hlthe2b]

9. well, yeah.... Otherwise you may as well just grab a glass of water and...

some of these:

[crazycatlady]

10. Yes, best when the brand is Wawa

[Wellstone ruled]

12. Yes it does,

Coffer Bean variety wither it is a A B or C grade of bean. Then what varieties are used in blends. Next is Roasting Equipment and technique used in Roasting. Ambient air temp as well as humidity where the roasting process is taking place. Oh,another is elevation,much like baking,altitude does make a difference.

Commercial Coffees are Engineered to produce the maximum flavor in any potable water .

14. I can lob objects over that brick wall, Flaleftist!

[Flaleftist]

24. *puts on helmet*

[MLAA]

15. Does all beer taste alike? 😉

[GP6971]

16. I mix Costco Kirkland Colombian French Roast

with Folgers...8 to 5 ratio. Much better than all the K Cups out there.

[KT2000]

19. I mix Costco's whole bean dark roast

with Folgers - 50/50. It is the 3 lb. bag that changes every few months. Love the Guatemala the best but won't buy the French Roast.

[tymorial]

17. Oh yeah

[akraven]

18. Not if you're using the Coffee Toddy method.

We've gone from extreme expensive to extreme cheap and it doesn't matter.

[KT2000]

20. A good brand and Italian Roast.

Italian is slow roasted - rich and strong - not burnt.

[Ferrets are Cool]

21. Is this a trick question?

[customerserviceguy]

23. It's like craft beer

If it's something custom roasted from arabica beans, then it's probably OK, if it's mass produced robusta swill, then it probably sucks.

[Wolf Frankula]

25. Winco whole bean Sumatran Mandheling

I grind it myself.

26. The bean and a person's preferences makes the difference.

We went through a bunch of brands through the years and settled on Kroger French Roast beans. They are really good and reasonably priced. Far better for our taste than other more expensive beans. Started out grinding in the store until they took all grinders out of their stores.

Had a great Bunn grinder 'till we wore it out and have been using just a spin grinder that's OK, but we get more bitter from fines than with a burr mill. Even with a cheap grinder, results are much better than Folgers or Maxwell House.

I have an OXO grinder coming and can't wait to try 'er out (grandpa doesn't get Christmas until after everyone else).

[TeamPooka]

28. It doesn't matter, and you should make me your coffee supplier. :)

[lapucelle]

29. I think different coffee brands have different flavor beans, so yes. N/T

[pansypoo53219]

30. the roast is more important to me. the bean. arabica. prefer columbian. BUT,

some internets coffee poohbahs said bur grinders best. i had brought up a victorian grinder to ebay. ok. i ground my usual 8'clock columbian & it was SOOOOOO MUCH BETTER. i am not fond of bitter. salting the grind helps too. but i love valentine's best. hmmm, i should get some torke. love torke too.

also using a vintage drip-o-later. can't find my stove top percolator.

[happybird]

37. Colombian is my favorite, too

and the name always makes me chuckle because it sounds like some sort of high-grade cocaine.
"You got any Colombian Supremo, man?"

[pansypoo53219]

46. i like central american coffee great to. found Valentine's costa rican.

need to try it in my 'new' grinder.

[Squinch]

32. Lavazza, man! Nothing else should call itself coffee! Except Dunkin.

[jberryhill]

33. No, it's like wine or beer, just buy the cheapest one

[UniteFightBack]

36. Absolutely. I purchased Tasters Choice instant coffee when it was on sale one time and I threw

out all my coffee makers and that is all I have purchased since.

Love that French Roast.

[GoCubsGo]

38. My gut and my tongue will both tell you yes.

Some brands taste better than others, especially depending on the darkness of the roast. But, for me, the biggest factor is whether or not the stuff makes me queasy. Some or 'em do that, like Gevalia and Seattle's Best.

[Totally Tunsie]

40. You bet it does!

[Flaleftist]

47. 👍

[jalan48]

42. Peet's Arabian Mocha Java is my favorite.

[3catwoman3]

43. No. I hate coffee.

Don’t even like the smell.
