Favorite Coffee

[Jeff]

I see that a lot of you Gorillas are into good coffee with your cigars and/or meals. In addition to stogies I like to spoil myself with good beans. What are your faves? Also, how do you brew? Press, automatic drip, espresso, percolator? I grind my own and brew in a press.

A few of my top beans are:

Yergecheffe
Kenyan

This may sound a little out there, but my favorite coffee comes from Costco. They roast the beans right in the store, and they are incredible because of it. I have tried a lot of expensive coffee, and I still go back to this stuff. Oh, and I use a press.

Killer Beans,Affrican Assassin. Like Kenyan as well. Ms. Floydp prefers Medellin Mad-Man among several diferent breakfest blends. Auto drip, and we grind our own beans most of the time. We plan on trying more of the Killer Beans.

Green Mountain French, Midnight Express, or Columbian Supreme.

Grind Beans and pressure brew (Espresso stryle)

Found Padron 3000/4000 match up well with French Maduros with espresso and while full bodied cigars like Bolivar fuerte's, St. Louis Rey match up with Midnight Express, milder cigars like LCG, ERDM, or milder go well with Columbian.

Sometimes its like that. If you get a chance, buy some coffee from Ikea. It is also surprisingly good.

I roast coffee for a shop and there is a roast called Midnite Moon that I like a lot.

Folgers Classic Roast! I spend all my money on good cigars; can't afford expensive coffee too!

[Jeff]

I hear you there. Its a struggle to get enough change together for some quality whole beans, but to me its worth it. I only drink one or two cups a day so it lasts a while. Sometimes I'm even on the 8 O`Clock Beans train when I'm really broke like right now.

[floydp]

Those 8 O'Clock beans aren't half bad IMHO. We usually drink that thru the week, then get into the Killer Beans on the weekends..

At home or do you work at a coffee place? Just curious. If its at home, what kind of roaster machine do you have?

[Brandon]

I just roast small batches for myself. I have an older Hearthware Gourmet roaster. It's not as fancy or has the capacities of the newer roasters, but it gets the job done just fine.

Cuban Serrano, Turquino and Jamaican Blue Mountain PeaBerry...roast it myself....

Im usually not a huge fan of flavored coffees, but there is one that a local coffee shop here in NJ has called "Breakfast with Elvis" - Peanut butter and banana flavored... Actually REALLY good w/ a cigar!

[DonJefe]

Home roasted Tarrazu or Guatemalan Antigua.
