What is the best coffee (Starbucks, Seattle's Best, Folgers, etc.)?
Seattle's Best is brewed where I work, and it's delicious. This surprised me since I've never liked Starbucks, and Seattle's Best and Starbucks have always seemed like the same thing. McDonald's coffee is also good.
Answers:
Tim Horton's
I'm not really fond of any of those. The best coffee from a chain that I've had is from Peet's (out of San Francisco). Coffee Bean is also okay. Starbucks overbrews their coffee.
Peet's
okay...........I'm gonna put them in order from the best to the ok. Starbuck, Seattle Best,Folgers, than mcdonald coffee. See to me I think that Starbuck coffee are rich and yummy, but i don't really like mcdonald coffee because they use cheap coffee i think.
Carabou Coffee and Dunkin Donuts
i don't drink it so how should i know? i don't even know what kind my momma drinks, ya heard? (and no i'm not black or wiggidy wiggidy wak, okay homie?)
That's a tough question. It depends on what you like. Starbucks coffee is a great place to start. Adding flavours like chocolate to coffee s bad because it takes away from the quality. Starbucks doesn't do this. Well, adding flavours afterwards is fine. But yeah, I think it's a great choice. They have people specifically hired to inspect the beans before they're roasted. Whole bean is also an important factor. It's a great idea to invest in a good grinder. A Burr grinder would be best. It will grind more evenly. And if you don't have one, Starbucks will grind it for you, free of charge. Hope that helps.
Oh, and one more thing, if you do decide that Starbucks coffee is a good choice, remember that they follow industry standards which is three tbs. per cup of coffee. The best bet would be to drink it at home or ask them to make you a french press, which is the same price as a drip cup, only more fresh. A coffee press is the best way to enjoy coffee, and inexpensive to buy as well.
I think the best coffee is the kind you get at the rest stop out of a vending machine.
Starbucks and Micky D's. They are really yummy!
The small shops are generally the best at what they do, because the owners have devoted their lives to their craft. Especially Italian shops, real Italian coffee is the best in the world
Starbucks by far...
or the Dunn Coffee Shop
i really like trader joe's instore brand coffee- their italian roast and espresso are excellent- and their double-dark lava blend is perfect since i love really strong, dark coffee.
it's also cheaper than buying starbucks or seattle's best, but is a very high quality brand.
Dunkin Donuts
McDonald's
I work at Starbucks and have had many of the coffees mentioned here, Seattle's Best, Caribou, Trader Joe's, Peets, McDonalds, Folgers, and beans roasted the day I bought them from Whole Foods... and really, it's not easy to say which is best, because there's more than one type of coffee... which you know...
Starbucks doesn't always have the best coffee, many times our beans are over-roasted to achieve homogeny across the product line, but we offer over 30 different beans, from Latin, Asian, African, and multi-regional blends, and even special series of beans in our 'black apron' series that is limited production and are a very specialized showcase of a particular bean.
The best best beans I've had are the Starbucks anniversary blend, only availaible between september and november, followed by Peet's annivesary blend, both are made primarily from Indoenesian beans.
Currently, I know Seattle's Best is offering an ice coffee blend with a beach scene on the bag, forgot the name, but it's a nice smooth and easy drinking coffee, very much similiar to Terrazza that Starbucks is offering right now, and between the two, I'll have to give the slight edge to Terrazza because it's brightness makes it a more interesting ice coffee.
The best coffee is: the one that makes you the happiest. mcdonald's coffee is not bad, Carl's Jr Coffee, now that's bad, haha.
Of the chain coffee shops, I like Peets. You can find literally thousands of coffee shops in http://www.coffeeshopsdirectory.com/... which is the online coffee shops database. There are a lot of independents that I think are as good or better.
