I think I did see that somewhere, and was wondering about it. It's 100% arabica, right?

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

I use a bean grown in Nueva Segovia, Nicaragua in an Elektra espresso machine. It's the best espresso I've ever had.

Folgers 100% Colombian.....for a OTC brand I love it.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

PNG from the bin at Whole Foods - FRESHLY ROASTED! Tremendous.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

PNG - Papua New Guinea?

some Brazilian Rain Forest Alliance SO I roasted a couple of days ago... nummy.

I'm enjoying a nice travel mug full of Starbucks Christmas Blend.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

I gotta say -- I Love My Nespresso! It is sooo nice to pop a capsule in and get good rich espresso with lots of crema without any fuss and without having to remember to turn the machine off.

This morning I had Ristretto :D

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

I have the nespresso latissima, Ristretto is pretty much all I drink!

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Captains Brew

Which recently apparently went out of business. Perhaps I should store the rest somewhere safe eh?

Or Not.
So Confusing! Drama!

Heh, either way the Captains Reserve French Roast is actually pretty damn good, quite frankly.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Killer Beans Guatemalan Antigua, good stuff!

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

At 5 in the morning it was black and had caffeine. I didn't much care what the hey it was *opens one bleary eye*

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Red Diamond... The office supplies so I drink.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Nothing I'm willing to own up to drinking :tu

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Some medium roast Caribou I brewed at home and brought to work in a travel mug. Will need more later though so I'll end up drinking whatever is cooking away on the burner in the break room.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

DD this morning. I wish they would make the dark roast available for hot coffee.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

I order raw green beans. I roast at home in a
Westbend poppery II.
Today i am drinking some Papuan.
I save 1000.00 a year by buying the Poppery on ebay
for 20.00 and green beans cost on average 6.00 lb.
When possible i buy only fair trade organic beans.
Yeah it sounds stuffy, but its also economical, and leaves me more for
guess what, CIGARS.
ROASTING MUST BE DONE OUTSIDE

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Café Du Monde. :dr Man, I really like this with my morning cigar! I guess I'll have to go find some fresh Beignets now. ;)

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

With or without chicory?

With is probably one of my favorite coffee's hands down! :tu

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

I tend to do the same thing, but I roast inside!

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

:tu

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

What are you roasting with?

Even with my Behmor and it's famous "smoke suppression", not possible without setting off the fire alarm.

Dying to know your secret...

Lately, I have been roasting a lot of Liquid Amber espresso blend from SM and have been loving it, and the darker roasts.

Roasting well into second crack and the smoke, combined with my cigar smoke, has put me under a haze, all through my brain.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

I guess if u have great ventilation inside works.
I need to unpac my espresso machine and roast italian style.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

We roasted another batch of Ethiopia DP Jimma-Nigusie Lemma from sweet marias. This is a terrific coffee.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

I love Ethopian coffee. Thank you for reminding me I need to roast.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

It's about all I drink. I think Ethiopian beans are some of the best in the world.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

I've been drinking a lot of eithiopian Yirgacheffe "michelle". Don't know what the michelle part is about - I haven't had a chance to ask the roaster I get it from. He does it american roast. Outstanding - and I'm usually a dark roast lover.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Ground up some Starbuck's Sumtra coursely and made a few cups in th French Press

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Still drinking Trader Joe's House Blend coffee (mix of Sumatra & Columbian whole beans)...:=:

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

I drink it also, but the Yirgachaffe. spelling.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Brazil "Sul de Minas"
Our local roaster did this in a city roast. Very nice. But he also did a darker roast for espresso. I had one at the shop today - amazing. The bright and almost citrus impression I get in the light roast drip coffee makes a powerful fruit sensation in the espresso. Best espresso I've had since he did another single origin espresso with an ethiopian Sidamo a couple years ago.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Bali Blue Moon Organic and Ethiopian Yirga Cheffe blended post roast. Beautiful balance.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

DD Iced

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

in the office...drinking Folgers!

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

That's so sad. The office coffee here is awful. The cafeteria is OK in a pinch. I bring a large thermos from home.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

2010 crop El Salvador La Illusion...crisp, bright...roasted really light with 5 days rest. Sweet fruit finish.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Costa Rican Candelilla Gesha. Flavor changer, just very nice.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Nicaragua Nueva Segovia, roasted 4 days ago to FC, drip, splash. Smooth, sweet, little spicey, very nice.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

I've just discovered other people have been a) drinking my coffee, and b) not cleaning the filter machine after using it. Which means a) I need to go roast some Ol' Brown Java ASA-frickin'-P, and b) run my filter machine for a few cycles with no grinds to sanitise it.

Other than this, I'm drinking a Brazilian-Java blend from Whittard's I was kindly given for Christmas.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Gloria Jean's Black Gold out of a Keurig machine.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Panama Boquete Volcancito Estate, roasted 36 hours ago to FC, drip, splash. Mild and smooth, a bit thin. Flavor, body and finish all improve as the cup cools. In fact, it's better cold. Weird!

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Nicaraguan Antigua - very good coffee. Got it at local Sam's; I guess they are closing it out. Whole beans 2.5 pounds for $4.88! I bought four bags of it, so I'm in beans for a while now. I love to find a bargain now and then. You might want to check your local one.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Dude, get a clue! :confused:

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Sure, help me out. You don't like coffee from there>? I need to buy a different brand. I'm not understanding.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Which setup and did you grind it yourself?

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Fresh roasted is the KEY, more than a week old or 2 at the most, you might as well throw it away. That close out stuff you bought was probably roasted a year ago or longer :O
'Course, depends on how you are making your coffee, too. How fresh the roast is, might not make any difference, if you are using crapy methods or equipment.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Keurig B70, out of a k cup. I don't take my coffee as seriously as cigars so I stick to the k cups.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Drinking Sumatra Mandheling, always a good one.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Did you know coffee is the most complex food on the planet? Well it is, over 800 flavors indentified in coffee, only like 180 or so in wine for comparison.
Coffee is a magical food, you really ought to take it more seriously :2 :D
