Obviously none of you are hillbillies nor Cajuns... Luzianne (when I can find it) or Seaport (with Chicory) is much better. I won't buy coffee for the house (nor drink coffee at home) without Chicory. Luzianne is like Yuban (where you use less coffee grounds per cup), but it doesn't age well. I only make 3 cup pots (instead of one 12 cup pot).

I do agree with the Hawaiian Kona Coast coffee was a good coffee, when I lived in Hawaii I was having chicory sent to me, and adding 1 oz of chicory to 1 pound of Kona Coast (that really made a great cup of coffee).

(None of you are hillbillies nor Cajuns as I've always been told only hillbillies and Cajuns drink coffee with Chicory. I've been told it's an aquired taste ((aquired by me because that was the only coffee we had, and coffee without chicory tastes like just hot water to me)), but I've had many complements on my coffee ((as long as I didn't tell them there was Chicory in it first lol))

I havent found the perfect coffee for me yet though I do know I dont like dark roasts. I grind my own or should I say have have my 2 young dd do it for me as the love using our old hand grinder. Come to think of it I have tasted a wonderful coffee but I dont know how to get it, some missionaries brought it from South America.

BUT I do know how I like my coffee made, Cold brew is the only way to go IMO!

Somebody awile ago had a link posted to Sweet Maries or whats it Maria anyway someday I will buy some beans and do my own roast

Stop & Shop, EightOclock coffee, 2 lbs for $9.45

I buy Starbucks whole bean At Sam's and grind it myself. Half and Half with a packet of Splenda, what a way to start the morning. Full pot in the morning and two cups at supper time.

We buy organic whole bean coffee at the local coop, and grind it in the blender. It is expensive, but we don't drink it like water, and my dad is allergic to non-organic coffee. He was asking why if he drinks coffee anywhere else, he gets sick, but if he drinks our coffee, he's ok. Ours is organic. Coffee is one of the most important things to buy organic, that and grapes.

Tobacco too (do they have such a thing?), IMO. Smoking DDT, no wonder people get cancer.

I am sorry to say we usually buy the cheapest and use a lot for more flavor. I did buy some from a lady from my church--kind of a fundraiser. It is fair trade certified coffee and it is so much better than what we are use to. If anyone is interested, I think you can start selling it (our church seems to sell a lot), here is the web site listed on the package.

I roast my own coffee and wouldn't go back to anything else. Even Starbucks seems bland now. By roasting your own you can have gourmet coffee at Walmart prices.

I don't drink regular coffee.
My kinda coffee is General Foods International Coffee in French Vanilla, Irish Creme, French Vanilla Nut and Caramel.

I admit, drinking regular Maxwell house in comparison to fresh ground coffee is icky. However, the price is the lure for us. Compare $1.75 for the Maxwell house to the $6.99 or more per pound for the fresh ground!

However, not sure I've tried the organic coffee yet...maybe not. I might have to break down and spend the money.

Question...what's wrong with regular coffee? What's in Regular Coffee that's not in Organic?

Fairly new to the organic thing, we're just beginning to experiment and explore our natural food store, etc.

We usually buy Maxwell House, $1.98 a bag that used to be a pound and is now 13 oz. Before that we used 8 O'clock and either ground it ourselves or ground it at the store. I don't like all of the designer coffees and definetly don't like Starbucks and other overly strong coffees.
We also drink our coffee in quantity and without any sugar, I do put a small splash of half & half in sometimes.
The best coffee I ever drank was a Costa Rican coffee, very smooth tasting. I drink a fair amount of coffee and I drink it eveywhere across the country as I drive a truck. One of the most important things about coffee is the water. Start with bad water and you've got bad coffee.

Coffee snobs. It's about what you get used to so you may as well get the cheap stuff and get used to that.

At the walmarts near (well, sorta near) us, folgers sells a 12 oz bag of flavored beans for $2.94. Ground with our burr grinder, not bad at all. on occasion we get really good coffee at the specialty stores in Houston.

Our house always smells like coffee...partially because we usually have a pot going, partially because we have covered one wall in the kitchen with burlap coffee sacks...

Why should I get used to the cheap stuff? I'd never ever buy the cheap stuff..I'd rather go without.

I drink Folgers or Edward's (in Canada) only if I run out of Columbian or Kodiak Yukon Beans to grind. Price isn't a consideration for the necessities of life.
Yes, I'm a coffee snob, but I'll settle for Tim Horton's if I can't get Starbucks.

That's all this is...some of us like coffee so much that we have preferences. Life is too short to pay for and ingest something that you don't like. Why waste the time?
