What is The Best Coffee???
I'm looking for a clean buzz, so it'll almost have to be organic. Roast doesn't matter, I want a killer buzz with the least amount of side effects.

Coffee lovers, what's the best stuff?

7. I Found This Jamaican Blue Voodoo
at this site. Jamaican blue gets great reviews but I haven't tried it. I might try this one. Thanks for the recommendation!

4. That's Wild!
I read another link about it, it's as much as $300 a pound and passed through a cat, that's crazy!

I'd still try it but it's too expensive for me on a regular basis. Thanks for the link, that's the most interesting thing I bet I read all week.

10. I've Tried Green Mountain, It's Really Good and Clean
There's a store near me that sells it for about $8 a bag. It is really smooth. I'll have to give it another try and I'll look for the Rainforest Nut, thanks!

12. That's a good site, thanks.
They've got some informative tips on brewing and storing. I've got a lot of choices already from all the great du-ers and they're all different and all good!

I'm getting tired of the Java Trading Company organic French Roast I get at the local Giant. I need something new, something better, something incredible!!!

I need to lay off the joe for a day or two, that's what I think I really need.

16. Copa Cafe
http://copacafelex.com/

Their website sucks but their coffee is out of this world. Copa Cafe is on Massachusetts Ave in Lexington, MA.

20. For special occassions, Bad Ass Peaberry Kona . . .
http://www.badasscoffee.com

Otherwise, I drink Joe's Organgic or locally Mayorga Coffee Roasters http://www.mayorgaimports.com/html/index.php

I'm also a fan of Raven's Brew http://www.ravensbrew.com/

21. Use This Formula For Maximum Buzz and Flavor
Us the lightest roast available, and increase the amount of coffee per cup. This works best with Kona or Jamaican Blue Mountain.

22. Maxwell House
I don't know from buzz, but I like Kaladhi Bros Costa Rican Tarrazeau. I also like Seattles Best and Illy.

23. Not organic, but Illy and Lavazza are my faves
they're Italian. The Espresso blends are the most flavorful.

24. Chock Full o' Nuts
Illy is amazing. I think I actually like it the best. I wouldn't have thought ground espresso in a can could be that good, but it is. I'm getting thirsty just thinking about it.

27. Dunn Bros., local place in MN
Fresher, local roast, cheaper price, great deal all around. Their espresso blend works great in my little stovetop espresso maker.

28. Roast your own!

edit: Tanzania Peaberry has the highest caffeine.

Guarana may be the buzz you're looking for, tho. Check this out...

29. The best part of waking up-
is Folger's in your cup.

I'm not a big coffee drinker, but when I do, I like the basics. Mocha-frappucino-lattes are for pinheads with too much money and too little sense.
