Your favourite Coffee

A Catuai, Bourbon and Caturra blend?

Fascinatng.

I would imagine that it would taste delicious.

Do enjoy.

They have 8 different blends, with three of them being seasonal. I must say they are all soft and exceedingly lightly acidic.

I would say thus far that my favorite coffee is "Little Buddy" and "Big Truck" from Olympia Coffee Company.

My kitchen is torn apart at the moment (literally - just bought a house 4 months ago and we're mid-renovation), but the moment it's put back together, I'm unpacking our brand new Moccmaster Technivorm to make some. I can't wait!

That tells me nothing about the actual coffee..

Where is the coffee from?

Is it single origin coffee?

Or, is it a blend of varietals from a number of different countries?

The OP of the thread said "Guys, I love coffee, I love trying new coffee, so I thought I'd create a thread seeing what coffee people call their favourite" in his first post, so...I was answering that question.

"Little Buddy" is essentially a blend of African coffees. It's a super-smooth light roast, which is great for a guy like me (who has a hiatal hernia and GERD lol).

"Big Truck" is a blend of coffees from Colombia and Ethopia; it's a bit darker than Little Buddy but still very smooth, a bit more 'chocolatey.'

Thanks for your answer.

I wasn't criticising, merely curious re details of the coffee consumed.

My favorite is Kona coffee, grown in Kona, Hawaii. I find that 100% pure is the best.

Oh, no worries, I didn't take it as such...was just clarifying why I answered as I did, being as I'm somewhat of a n00b in this thread.

Been meaning to try some Ethiopian coffee (single source). Any recommendations?

Anything from the Yirgacheffe region (which is my own personal favourite).

Coffee from Sidamo/Sidama (same place, different spelling) is also excellent.

Starbucks sells a huge variety of coffee. Some great, some not so good. I don't think a negative sweeping statement is accurate or fair. I've had some really good varieties that I found excellent. But again, it's personal taste.

When I was in Poland in the early 80's (socialist era), the best one could do was grind beans (whatever was available at the state-run store) in a wooden hand grinder, dump the grounds in a glass, and pour boiling water. I found it somewhat bitter but acceptable. Then at the local Pewex, bought a jar of Nescafé instant and found it in comparison to be quite good.

I've always been a fine coffee zealot, but I don't think I'm a snob about it. I think my tastes are just open to different ways of making it, and the resulting different taste and experience.

Agreed. I really like their Holiday Blends (red bag) as well as their Veranda Blend and Espresso Roast. Veranda is very good IMHO. The other blends, not so much and I agree, they just don't taste good.

I have been really enjoying, and ran out of course, is a company called Groundwork, their Ethiopia blend is most excellent.

I know it is somewhat sacrilegious to post this, here, but if you like flavored coffee, Bones Coffee has some really good flavors. Their Smory Time and Jacked Pumpkin are delicious.

I mean, there are days where it just has to be *COFFEE* 🤣

And I'll say choose Sidama over Yirgacheffe

There's quite a variety of different coffee that's grown in Ethiopia

In truth, I'm more than happy with either of them, but personally, I prefer Yirgacheffe.

Agreed.

And one other thing to note is that with Ethiopain coffee, there is a noticeable (taste) difference depending on whether the coffee is a "natural process" coffee (the old, traditional, method - which was both labour intensive and time consuming - of drying the coffee beans/cherries on raised sun beds), or a "washed" process coffee (a more modern method).

This is something that is very much down to personal preference, and taste.

I agree, their Holiday blend is very good, as is usually their Winter and Christmas Blends. I'm always on the lookout for Ethiopian as among the best coffee (I understand that's where coffee originated) and will look for Groundwork. Thanks for the recommendation.

I can't recommend them enough. I really like them.
