Moutain Dew is not coffee....... silly man

mmmmmmm....coffee.....where to start...

Well, my "special occasion" coffee is Jamaican Blue Mountain (but it is *really* expensive)

My "every day" coffee is called Eight O'clock coffee, which is a very old A&P brand that is now sold in many Spartan stores (won't mean much to people who aren't around Spartan stores).  It comes in whole bean form (though I think they have a ground version now) and is nice and smooth.

For my first pot of the day (unless it is a special occasion, which would then be JBM) I drink Starbuck's Breakfast blend.  I don't like coffee from the Starbuck's store because it always tastes like they boiled it or something.  But, I do like brewing it myself.

Some of the Hawaiin Kona blends are nice (though I do not like them on their own).  I also like some of the french roast coffees- even maxwell house has a nice one.  I've yet to find a decaf that doesn't have a bitter undertone to it, but most of the half-caf (50/50) are pretty good. (My doctor keeps telling me to switch to decaf, but I ignore her....remind me of that when I'm laying in the hospital after my first heart attack )

I also recommend getting a good coffee maker.  Different coffee makers will really change the taste of coffee (as well as the water you use).  I have a Bunn coffee maker.  They make great coffee, and they are *fast*.  They are the coffee makers that most stores use (Tim Hortons even has their own labled one that you can buy).  They last a very long time, too.  I have had mine for over 11 years, and it works just as well as it did when it was new.  (Which says a lot considering how often it is used!)  They cost about $100, and are available all over the place.

I'm still on my first pot of the day which is Breakfast blend.

Ah....coffee........
