Have you noticed that the lower cost brands of coffee like Maxwell House taste like crap! I think that it is because of the world glut in coffee that they are able to buy up old low quality coffee and push it on to the unsuspecting public. Imagine a 1 kg can of coffee selling at $4.99. How much profit is there left after the cost of roasting handling packaging and transportation to the grocery store. Then there is the profit for the grocery store. That KG of coffee must start out costing pennies. I have had to move up to President choice coffee to get a decent cup of coffee and to Van Houte or other premium brands.

How is your coffee?:confused:

I use Starbuck's breakfast blend at home. Yes, a little more expensive at around $13/kg... That and a DeLonghi Magnifica Super Automatic.... mmmm....
 
Have you noticed Starbucks is now pushing little packets of instant coffee. Talk about revisiting the 60's. Even Oz and New Zealand have broken that mold finally, making good coffee now and those countries are stuck in the 60's.

MaxwellHouse and Folger's sell the worst coffee in North America. MacDonald's has improved lately, but I only drink Timmy's when there's absolutely nothing else within sight.
 
I get the cheapest 1kg tin I see on the shelf, usually Maxwell House or President's Choice for everyday drinking. I'm not going to cultivate expensive habits.
When I'm a good boy I add a cinnamon stick to the pot for a special treat.
 
I'm thinking maybe Hamster should stop wiping his ass with his coffee filters?

Just a suggestion lol.

This reminds me of that series "The Mind of the Married Man" and one of the sub-plots was a friend of Mickey's wanted to buy a corvette but his wife wouldn't let him. But she DID love this special type of coffee bean that was very very expensive. Well they googled it and found out what gave it its particular taste was that monkeys ate the beans then pooped them out and the beans were collected and sold.

Mickey said "you should tell her" the husband said "no fucking way" lol......
 
I get my coffee from independent roasters. They roast small batches so that what they sell is always fresh roasted. I always buy fair trade and organic coffee, 100% arabica beans. The very highest quality. The difference in price over that discount coffee in the supermarket means that I have to forgo a half hour session with my favourite lady once every 37 years. I guess I'll just have to spank my monkey that week in 2021.

A nice way of looking at it.

I've got 2 old school friends in the business. One own one of those small independent Roasters in TO and the other runs a small Roasting operations out in BC. I got introduced to plunger coffee in Europe way back when and to me that's the best way to make coffee, but I'm too lazy. Every morning flick the switch on the machine, take my shower and coffee's ready.

It's my no. 1 drug of choice and I'm hooked, no doubt about it. If for some reason I can't have that morning mug I'm really nasty by 2:00 pm.

I love drinking different types but the coffee that cycled through the butt of a Simian is just not in the picture.

Tboy,

You remind me of a Steak House Spice commercial for instant sauces.

In the commercial a little boy is at his buddies house and he sais to his buddies mom:

" My mom sais that you must make realy good sauces because every time you make sauce I have dinner at your place, and my mom sais that it must be nice to have all that time to make sauces from scratch ".

You must have a lot of time on your hands to sit there and make 14,126 post. The only other guy I know with as much time is a guy that fooled the insurance company and lives off compensation from his insurance settlement from a suposed work place accident, he is affraid to go out of the house because they might catch him on video lifting more than 5 lbs.

OMG, that wouldn't be you..........would it?:eek:


BTW - Waddle over with your walker one day and I will make you a SPECIAL cup of coffee!
 
Lavazza. Red Label. You can get it for $3.49 a pack. Good coffee, good price. Tim Hortons' is awful. Tastes like it's brewed from shoe leather with dirty water.
 
Want better coffee? Buy whole organic beans, grind them yourself just before you brew up (a hand grinder is only $20), and use a coffee press instead of a drip coffee maker.
 
It is Kopi Luak tboy.

This always make me think, who are the people that "invent" this stuff. What do they say?

"Hey lets go into the forest and dig thru some Civet shit to see if we can find a bean to roast and then drink?"
​
Or with food like blowfish.
"Hmmm I wonder which days of the year that I can eat this without dying. Here you try some."

oh fark, it's a Civet. Cat shit might be worse that monkey shit. Don't know for sure but I'm going to ask Mikie to try it first. He'll eat anything. At $90.00 a lb I'll buy bottle of XO and enjoy it more.
