I assume most everyone in this thread brews their own, rather than spending an exorbitant amount of money on that sewage water from places like, say, Starbucks.

[Misc_Lurker]

Farmer's markets, Whole Foods, and Costco. Coffee is one of the few things I'll actually buy from Whole Foods. Decent price and they roast in store daily.

Have you guys notice when you grind your beans more course, it stays fresher longer?

That makes sense. More coarse = bigger grinds.

Not sure how the quality compares to the more expensive one, but it's really delicious nonetheless

[DCocK]

I was in Jamaica and the "coffee man" was selling blue mountain coffee. He had dreams down to his feet LOL.

I will try to find a pic of him for no believe.

He sold us bags for $5 each. Best coffee I have ever had.

[MiscBroham]

Brb never buying a flavor-robbing filter again.

EDIT: Brb never needing sugar or milk again with french pressed coffee.

I bought it in bulk at Ochos Rios Jamaica, it's pretty expensive stuff but I bought it in bulk so it went a long way. I think I still have a couple of bags left.

It's a really smooth coffee which is what it's known for, but not very strong.

[Misc_Lurker]

So would you say that, in your honest opinion, blue mountain is bar none the best coffee there is? I'm still a noob at this.

Dear Coffee crew,

I write you this letter in sadness. I have recently had to curve my coffee intake passed 5pm. I have been having issues falling asleep at night, been like this for years, but I think it's finally time to get real about it and stop all caffeine at 5pm.

Ugh, this sucks. I love having coffee right after dinner. I might need to find a good decaf coffee. Any ideas? Maybe it's in my head, but it seems like decaff coffees just don't taste the same.

decaff doesnt taste the same because it isnt the same chap, for my 2p I say just stick to when you can have the real thing.

Plus there were some suggestions a few years back that decaff raises LDL cholesterol.

You may want to switch over to tea in the evening. Load up on coffee first thing in the morning and throughout the afternoon to please your coffee cravings. Here are some of my favorites.

rooibos: Very refreshing, non caffeinated red tea. Tastes amazing with honey. Perfect for summer.
oolong: A bit more bold and robust compared to green or black with more depth of flavor. It's caffeinated but not nearly as much as coffee. About the same as decaf.
camomile: Strong floral tea that will help you relax in the evening. Brew it strong with mint leaves for flavor.

Treat it the same as coffee in the sense that you want quality leaves. You can even steep in your french press. Each tea leaf has a different steep temperature. The herbal teas usually require boiling or near boiling, and the more delicate like green or white tea needs water at the brink of a soft boil.

Just put the coffee grounds in a cup and add hot water (not quite boiling, but close to boiling). Stir it and let it sit for a few minutes. Makes a very robust cup of coffee, and is basically the same as a French press, but without the plunger. You just need to make sure not to drink the grounds, but they stay in the bottom of the glass anyway
Phin filters are cheap as fukk too.
