Where u all get your beans from?
I enjoy doing a v60 from time to time when it comes to pour over

I usually get the medium roast stuff from Starbucks. Antigua Guatemala or Kenya.

I use a dripper that has a lock off valve, so i usually leave it for about 3-4mins before I let it drain into the cup.
Was planning to get a Keurig K Express since that has a strong brew option.


Saw Vanilla Bean posted a few days ago they got Death wish coffee.

I won't be too hasty to purchase this. Before the pandemic when we traveled, I picked up a couple of bottles from Walmart. It does taste good, but the taste is strikingly similar to Nescafé Gold. I believe that Tasters Choice is the US version of Gold (open to correction), hence the similarity of taste. If anything, the Gold actually tastes better and has a stronger more roasted taste.

Tasters Choice is nice and by all means it's worth a shot if you've never had it. Just don't expect anything extraordinary.

I discovered quite a while ago that adding a tiny pinch of salt makes a huge difference in making coffee taste good. I'm by no means a coffee brewing filter pot kind of person, all I really drink is Nescafe instant flavours. But the salt is important to activate taste receptors and makes bitterness disappear. That's why sweet foods like caramel, milk chocolate, and even regular boiled sweetie has a tiny touch of salt in the formula. My coffee in the morning is very simple. I don't take sugar or milk or artificial creamers and sweeteners. For 200ml water, I add 1/2 tbsp. Nescafe Instant and a pinch of salt, like 1/2 gram. Makes a difference. Try it and see if you notice what I'm talking about.

Learnt that from Alton Brown back in 2012. I think Nescafé put salt in theirs, it has a hint of salt.

Tried Jamaican High Mountain coffee today. Taste alot stronger than the Blue Mountain coffee, which taste more mellow, smooth. JHM coffee supposed to be cheaper than JBM coffee, but to me both damn expensive.

I rather the high mountain coffee.

[pugboy]

Worst thing I ever taste, and I remember when H.wing use to put roast corn in de coffee

Seems most local (mass) coffee processors prefer a dark roast, and some end up with a burnt flavor, I dunno if the thinking is burnt=strong. Noir and Roastel do have some nice blends though, never tried Full Bloom

[pugboy]

it is a cop out to roast dark as it acts as a cover
one of the local social media ppl did a tour of blue mountrain and the guy there explained that same point.

full bloom buying mostly from a local supplier so their taste went down a bit.

if you want a real good tasting coffee try casalis pizza on ave, they using a bean from malabar farms,

Bought skinnygirl ground coffee in a pink pouch when we last travelled. It has ginseng and health and good life and all kinda bs in it,but....

It's way better than it sounds. You will be surprised how good it actually is...if you like your coffee black of course.

Got a Mr Coffee espresso machine on Amazon Black Friday sale. Original price $460usd, paid $224 usd after taxes. Costing about $1000ttd to ship down so I shipped it to my cousin in florida and will collect it sometime next yr lol

[viedcht]

Dark roast done right is the smoothest coffee you'll ever drink. The roast lowers/degrades the caffeine and acids, making it less bitter. That's really for those who like it though, I know medium roast is preferred by the masses, because who want a lowered caffeine coffee, especially when you looking for a pick-me-up, plus its suggested dark roast better paired with creamer and sweetener .
Dealing with this right now, and Peppercorns have Blue Mountain Jamaican coffee for anyone interested in two sizes.

No these are terrible.
If you are looking for high quality coffee equipment, you'll most likely need to order via Amazon etc and good hand grinders start from $100 USD+. https://www.amazon.com/stores/1Zpresso/ ... f_=ast_bln
Check out Full Bloom Cafe, they have locally roasted high quality beans etc.
