What is the best coffee in the world?
Answers:
I've never had it, but the most expensive coffee in the world is called Kopi Luwak , a Sumatran coffee that is processed through the GI tract of the Civet Cat and sells for ~300.00 dollars per pound from Martinez Brothers in Atlanta Ga.
As a coffee, I prefer Costa Rican La Minita, but also love a good Tanzania Peaberry and if its fresh, Jamaican Blue Mountain or Monsooned Indian Malabar.
All of these are excellent coffees and are best if you brew them at home to your own tastes in a clean coffeemaker or percolator. Operative word is clean!!!!
That is what is wrong with most commercial coffee-houses. They serve coffee that is made in large quantities and frequently in partially washed urns that impart bitter essential oils in great quantities into the coffee. Look across the top of the cup, If you see a layer of oil, then you have been served a less than perfect cup of coffee, and probably paid too much for it.
That is another reason that some of the commercial coffee houses suck so badly. They attempt to get every dime out of you while expending the least cost and effort into producing a quality product. As a result they use less than good quality coffee beans and frequently overroast them to get more flavors and don't clean their coffee-pots frequently enough.
In the end it all comes down to personal tastes and the best coffee is the coffee that you enjoy the most!

i found a Seattles Best Cinnabon coffee that made me sing soprano. i have to tell you. you need a french press coffee maker. you could go with a fine kona blend or an exotic creme broule flavored coffee, and it simply wont do it justice in a auto drip. you can pick up a press at places like Macys or starbucks. they are about 20 to 40 bucks, but worth every penny!!! if your a renegade i also recomend a little chickory (its a spice) in your blend. it brings out the robust flavor and opens the pallette for your coffee.
be careful, once you go french press, you find yourself waking up for your coffee in a whole new way!!

I just recently had Portuguese coffee since my neighbor is from Portugal and her parents are here visiting. It was the best coffee I have ever tasted, so mild and smooth.....

It differs for everyone. Some like Kona (Hawaii). Some like South American beans. Myself? I prefer the Asian mixes. It's bold, smooth, and yummy for me.
It's all a matter of taste. Some people use to eat the coffee beans. I don't think I like it that much. You can read the article on this site.
