This may sound like the obvious, but I really like anything by Starbucks. It tastes more quality than anything else.

Anything from a local roaster (in your area) should be better than Starbucks or most any national brand you find in the supermarkets. The local roasters have fresher beans and that makes all the difference in the world, imo.

I'd say that the best brand I have tried comes down between 2.

ArmomaNICA, and Cafe Britt.

Both are pretty good, if a bit on the pricey side to get depending on where you are. I'm making a trip in December, so will probably pick up a bag or two.

I have to agree with Eldub. It comes down to personal preference but freshness is always the best. As far as Cafe Britt, I was there at there plantation/store about 6 years ago and while the tour was informative I didn't find their coffee that great. Lots of other farms that I visited had better coffe.

I've been buying " Illy " beans for a while now. They are getting quite big here in Europe specially. It's a great tasting coffee and clever marketing.

You should try our local celandic roaster, Kaffi Tár. They have some awesome organi beans, and otherwise coffee from small growers that basically are organic, even if not certified so. One of my avorites in that category is "Kenya": it's just indescribable, you have to taste it for yourself. Unbelievable, probably the best I ever tasted. Would love to try the organic Douwe Egberts, but they don't sell that here I think...

Ooh tough question! In my opinion it's great to try out different brands, and it's best to stick to organic, there's no nasties and I've fouund the smell and taste to be delicious

Some of my fave brands are Sacred Grounds Coffee, and also Genovese Coffee from Melbourne, Australia. Best place to buy is global organic coffee's website, they have all the different brands and you can save on shipping too. Have fun trying and finding your own favourites

Kenco coffee is the best brand in London.The Kenco roast and ground range has been developed using 100% Arabica beans. They use only Arabica beans because their aromatic and distinctive characteristics guarantee a superior taste for Kenco roast and ground coffee.

Millstone is my favorite coffee brand.

I am VERY picky. First of all I hate Starbucks and what they represent...I will not buy any coffee from any grocery store/super market. I prefer to buy from smaller local roasters where I know they are picky as well with the beans they buy. The coffee defenitly has to be arabica. Each time I buy I get beans from different origins...although I do have my favorites: Nicaraguan Maragogype, Tanzanian Peaberry, Yemen Mokha, Ethiopian Kaffa and Ethiopian Harar are some of my favorites.

I am a new coffee drinker and have tried various store bought brands. However, since I found this site and read the advice to find a local roaster, I did and it is now my favorite brand: Fork In The Road Coffee.

Congratulations "maxpower"
