An Alternate to Starbucks - How to Make the Perfect Cup of Coffee
2017-02-03
Having cut my teeth on military coffee, anything that you don't have to chisel out of the pot is good to go.

That aside, the link provides a nice step-by-step.

#10  I'm lazy: Keurig with Costco Pacific Bold or Donut House. But I also start my morning first thing with a Zero Cal Monster, so you might wanna disregard all my advice

#8  Agree with Warthog. The Indonesian Peabury is nice but I like to vary it. I buy the 8 lb assortment, some Ethiopian, some Tanzanian, some Peruvian, some Mexican, some Brazilian and some Honduran then roast 1/3 lb at a time - a different 1/3 every day.

#7  I roast my own using green (un-roasted) beans i.e. not Green Giant ;)
I get them from Sweet Maria's and the price works out to less than store bought..and much less than Keurig although, like Dr. Steve, I have one for convenience.

I prefer the Indonesian Peabury done to what's called a Medium City Roast. Do it right and it's heaven...do it too long and burn it...you get Charbucks.

My roaster will do a pound at a time and in the Technivorm Moccamaster coffee maker it's just nectar of the gods.

#6  If it's an alternative to Starbuck's coffee, shouldn't it be shitty and overpriced?

#5  Traveling through west Texas one fine morning, all I could find was truck stop coffee, which they must make by combining Texas dirt with diesel fuel. I got so desperate I stopped on the shoulder of the highway, set up my camp stove & brewed a batch of my own stuff on the roadside. Most satisfying cup I ever had. It got me all the way to Albuquerque.

#4  I confess I'm a Keurig kind of guy -- one at home and one in the office. My taste buds aren't the best so the usual McDuck or Meijer or whatever medium blend is fine. Love the convenience; if only I could mount a five gallon water jug onto the thing to keep it fed.

#3  Don't use a coffee-maker?

#2  She who must be obeyed gave me a Ninja coffee maker that makes just about everything you can buy at CHARbucks.

It makes great coffee and I can buy my beans anywhere AND everywhere except CHARbucks.
