I dont normally use k cups but due to it's convenience I have started using them at work. Can anyone recommend the best brand of k cups with respect to coffee quality. I've read that green mountain is pretty good....any others? I was thinking of trying Peets. Thanks in advance.
All I can say is WOW! I just purchased the Aerobie Aeropress and I must say, it truly is the best tasting coffee I've EVER had. I was debating on whether or not I should get a French Press (FP) or AeroPress (AP) and personally for me, I think I made the right choice. I did a lot of research...
True or False? Some people say due to the lack of a filter from a french press that certain oils from the coffee beans increase LDL, which is the bad cholesterol.
A friend of mine made some coffee for me in a french press and it was much different from my drip coffee maker. The coffee was really smooth and so much better in taste. Is there a reasoning behind this?
What are some affordable French Presses no more than $30?
How long does the coffee stay heated/warm in a french press?
In need of some sort of coffee maker, I left my at home and these long nights of grad school studying are killing me. I really don't want to buy a regular coffee maker b/c I...
Any thoughts on the Pike Place Roast at Starbucks? I think it's very smooth but have heard that it's for people that don't really like Starbucks. Basically, a better McDonalds/Dunkin Donuts coffee.
I was standing in line and overheard someone order a caramel macchiato diope (not sure if the spelling is right)...pronounced "dee-ahp." What the heck is a diope?
Hi,

Well, it looks like I'll be heading back to school, grad school that is. I'm sure this has been mentioned here before but can anyone recommed a good coffee maker for an apt.
Things I'm looking for....

I bought a large cup of coffee after dinner, around 8:30 pm, but couldn't finish it b/c I was just too full and I also wanted to be able to sleep. I was just going to put it in the fridge and drink the rest tommorow morning (i guess you could think of it as drinking ice coffee, hahaha); is that...

Did anyone do that Senseo email thing where you fill out a survey and they send you a free Pod brewing system. They said they were working with Coffee Forums. Is it just spam? I'm hoping a coffee forum admin will answer this. Thanks.
How come coffee shops don't use powder sugar to sweeten their drinks? I would think it'd be easier to dissolve, especially in cold drinks; is the taste different? Just curious.
What is everyone's regular cup of joe? Something that as soon as you come in, they know what you're gonna get.
Mine is just the house blend, usually a dark roast, with a shot of mocha.
Spouse #1: Honey, this coffee tastes like dirt.
Spouse #2: That's not surprising, dear, it was just ground this morning.

Is it just me or does everyone else have the coffee dripping from the lid problem? Everytime I drink my coffee, it somehow leaks out from the lid and starts dripping onto my shirt! :x
At first I thought it was a defected cup, then I thought it was the cups/lids from that particular coffee...
I always get this drink at Borders Bookstore and found out that they will no longer be making it. I was wondering, how common is this drink at other places such as starbucks (yeah i know, i said the "big bad word, starbucks"), barnes, or indie coffee shops. I know that most places have a...
Has anybody had a coffee dream? I had a dream last night where I was given a brand new coffee machine. I put in some coffee grinds and then waited for the coffee to come out and when it did, it NEVER STOPPED! It came coming and coming and it started flooding my kitchen, and then I woke up...
What is everyone's opinion on the best and inexpensive coffee maker machine? Please, NO POD MACHINES! I want the one where you put in a filter and pour in the grinds and hot water. Let me know, thanks. :lol:

Peet's Coffee and Tea
The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf
and any others you want to include.
Anyone know where to get these syrups. I think Starbux uses them and I like the mocha syrup but I can't seem to find a place that sells this brand. I heard that it was part of Toriani but I could be wrong. Thanks.
I was watching a show on PBS and they had a doctor talking about certain diseases and such and the topic of coffee came up. He mentioned the following about coffee...
1.) Coffee in the U.S. does not increase your cholesterol but coffee made in Europe does. The reason for this is b/c of the...
A friend of mine wanted to know why Starbucks and other coffee places dont offer flavored cream like 7-11 does, you know, like the french vanilla or hazlenut creme's. Is there a particular reasoning?
I'm sick right now (I know, it's summer, how could I possbily be sick, hahaha, it must be b/c of stress), but I was just wondering, does coffee help in any way when you're sick or should it be something you stay away from?
Just wanted some suggestions on what flavor shots I could add to just a regular house blend coffee, in other words, how can I make a regular old house blend coffee better?
I usually get a regular coffee and add a shot of mocha but I'm getting bored of that, any other ideas? It HAS TO BE...
Hey everyone,
Just wanted to know how you would rank the following types of coffee beans.

I might get a bashing for talking about INSTANT coffee but I was just wondering if anyone uses this stuff. For INSTANT coffee, I find it pretty good! Are there any other INSTANT coffee's that you guys recommend?
I ordered a Cafe au Lait at Starbucks (I think they call it a Misto at SB's) the other day and he asked me if I wanted a half and half, breve (I'm not sure if I'm speeling it right) style. What exactly is breve? Does that just mean half coffee half steamed milk? Just wondering.
Hey everyone,
I'm new here, just wanted to say hi and just wanted to post something and this is all I could think of. What does everyone eat with their coffee, muffins, biscotti, bagel, cakes, etc? I personally like pound cake.
