Looking for some coffee?!
Answers: I'm am a coffee nut! and always looking to try new and different kinds. My regular choice is folgers,but I'm looking to something a little more exotic! any tips?
Try Yuban..100% Arabica Coffee,...it's very good (on your local shelves) I personally get Starbucks Winter Blend at Sam's. Try Yuban and you'll taste the difference right away!
But Yuban is the best tasting coffee you can by at a local store
Try it and you'll give me 10 points..try it
P.S. Folgers is NOT 100% Arabica Coffee (it has additives in it) look it up.
UHM nah
You can't go wrong with Jamaican Blue Mountain. Also, the Kona coffee from Hawaii is great stuff.
Hawaiian coffee (Kona)
Kona Coffee is good, so is Lion's Head. You can get them in Hawaii, at the Comissary on Naval bases, and at "fancier" stores.
I don't know where you live but in Illinois....in the burbs..the stores t.j. maxx and marshalls, they sell gourmet hawiiaan Kono coffee..It is really good and tasty..I would try it's like 5 bucks for a bag.Otherwise dunkin donuts...is always good..actually I like their lattes.

Do you have a Trader Joe's in your area? A Whole Foods Market? A Wild Oats market?
They have all kinds of non organic and organic exotic coffees from all over the world.
In fact, if you don't, on line stores that sell exotic coffees are at the click of a mouse.
My advice is to get a coffee grinder, because there is nothing like fresh hot coffee that you ground yourself, and it makes Folgiers seem like child's play in taste.

There is this coffee that they call cat crap coffee. They say it is the best in the world and it is very expensive. They call it Kopi Luwak
I'm really "hardcore" with my coffee. I grind my beans fresh. This offers a wide assortment of diiferent kinds. From the flavored coffees to the more standard kinds. I especially like the Kona Coffees. Even regular coffee tastes better when you grind it yourself (an Folger's sells the whole beans, too!)
Try Starbucks Colombian Coffee or Morning Roast That's the one i use and it taste marvelous!
I went on the Folgers website and got a free sample of flavored coffee sent to me. There were many flavors to choose from... I picked Creme Brulee. Ironic you just asked that question- I'm actually drinking it right now! It's a nice way to try new flavors without buying full sized products and then not liking it.
buy the Starbucks brand from your local grocery store! i know it may be a little bit more expensive, but it is totally worth it!!! Because it's stronger then most other's and comes in different varieties. You can get it already ground up, and with the regular coffee beans. My favorite is the House Blend, medium. But they also have other kinds such as:
Italian Roast
French Roast
Decaf Caffe Verona
Columbia
etc...
but beware, because since Starbucks coffee is the only kind i drink, other brands don't compare.

alright!!! that's my brand of coffee.
folgers makes a wide variety of flavored coffee's now.

Yes, I have plenty of tips about coffee. I would recommend a breakfast blend from Starbucks. (or any brand at your local grocer). Breakfast Blends and French Roast coffees are rich and flavorful and after a few cups of good coffee.....you will probably never buy Folgers again. I also suggest trying some different coffees at the grocery store. You have probably seen the whole bean dispensers with the grinder and little bags. Try a 1/4 lb of a French Roast and just take it from there. Coffee is quite a cool thing once you have had the best. Starbucks is usually way overpriced so I wouldn't just assume that Starbucks is the best....they are good though. One mo thang.....Flavored coffees like French Vanilla and Hazlenut....I dont care for them. You can always add flavored cream to your already excellent French Roast.
You want exotic, Try Home Roasting your own coffee beans. Opens up a WHOLE new world of flavors. Ordering and roasting your own coffee gives you over a 100 different coffees to choose from. AND once you get the flavors of single origin coffees sorted out for yourself, then you get to blend the different coffee to made 100's of your own flavor specialties. You can grind the coffee to different grind levels and have more options for they type of coffee you make, from french pressed to espresso and every thing in between.
And green coffee beans are less than half the price of the same bean in markets, coffee shops and specialty stores. And since you control the roast level you don't have to settle for the burnt taste of someone else's mistakes or marketing ploys.
And if cash flow is an issue, you can start with a simple hot air popcorn popper as your roaster. Those come pretty cheap in yard sales, thrift stores and (shudder) wally-world...
I just tried Dunkin' Doughnuts coffee and it was very good, Starbuck's is good also, another one is Chai Spice by International Delight.
If you want something truly exotic get Kona or Tanzanian peaberry. Without going into a long explanation about peaberry, a coffee cherry usually produces one bean that grows and splits. Peaberry doesn't split and remains small and almost round. You have all the flavor of the big bean in two pieces in one smaller bean.
Do you have a "Beaner's" Coffee in your area? I've seen their coffee also at Meijer's, try the Black & Tan, oh it is great!!!!
I use Dunkin Donuts coffee
