Hoping to get some coffee recommendations Have been drinking Kirkland Colombia Supremo for years, but I just ran out. I just can't handle Costco anymore, so have been trying some from supermarket. Today I tried Peet's dark roast Italian...pretty tasteless. Bought Peet's med.
roast Brazil, single origin for tomorrow.

Any suggestions? Either whole bean or ground is okay. Thanks

1. I get fair trade Aldi's coffee . It's a good price

[GoCubsGo]

3. Yep, and it's pretty much all fair trade.

So, lots of choices. Their whole bean, organic varieties are very good, and at a great price.

[mucifer]

8. I've gotten too lazy for whole beans

[GoCubsGo]

21. Yeah, grinding the beans is a pain in the butt.

I still prefer them if given a choice, because no matter how airtight I keep it, the ground stuff gets oxidized, and the bottom third or so of the bag just isn't as good. The whole beans tend to stay fresher longer.

2. I just tried this and I like it.

Kauai Whole Bean Coffee, Koloa Estate Medium Roast – 100% Premium Arabica from Amazon. 2 lbs for $21
I just bought it to try and I like it.

[GoCubsGo]

7. That's one of my favorites!

Some of the grocery stores here carry Kauai brand, but the whole bean is hard to come by. I like the dark roast, but that's also hard to find.

4. Jamaican Blue Mountain

10. Love that, and Kona coffee

But it gets a bit pricey!

[Glorfindel]

5. Chock Full O' Nuts Dark and Bold

It really is "the Heavenly Coffee!"

[jpak]

24. My parents drank that

And so do I

[kentuck]

6. I like the Arabica from Trader Joe's

It has a good flavor and not bitter.

9. Folgers Columbian

[JCMach1]

11. Middle of the road brands are 8 O'Clock med roast whole bean

And don't forget Cafe Bustelo if you like it dark and strong.

My favorites of all time are Nicaraguan SHG and an unidentified home roast from Yemen that were pure Caramel.

There was also a pretty good local roaster Oakcliff Coffee Roaster who do an Ethiopian that is pure blueberry in natural flavor .

12. Honestly, I'm very satisfied with Kroger's Colombian.

I used to try several types of coffee brands made from Arabica beans (which I learned long ago that I preferred), but Kroger's always remained my favorite.

Kroger often just slaps their label on some popular commercial brand for their generic items, but I never discovered what they used for their Colombian coffee.

13. Tea. Red Rose. nt

[GoCubsGo]

14. I really like Lavazza.

Especially the Gran Selezione dark roast, which is rain forest certified, for whatever that's worth. I always grab some when it's on sale, whether or not I need coffee. Most of what's available in the grocery stores is ground, but some carry the medium roast as whole bean.

[Scrivener7]

20. Me too!

I usually do Gran Aroma or the cans.

[GoCubsGo]

29. Also Caribou Coffee.

Not everyone carries it. It can be pricey. I can only afford it when it's on a big sale.

15. Kenya AA.

We've used and enjoyed it for decades.

16. OK, I am a coffee and beer snob, sorry, but life is too short for bad coffee, or beer

My daughter had a conference in New Orleans recently, and brought me a can of grounds from Café Du Monde. I think you might be able to find it at Whole Foods.

Basically, I tend to like coffee that has chicory in it. For a fairly inexpensive option Chock Full of Nuts makes a nice cup.

The French Roast at LIDL is pretty good and reasonable.

For beer, if you are ever near the Great Lakes region, ANY beer from Great Lakes Brewery out of Cleveland is outstanding!

[NewHendoLib]

30. not to the level that I am at!

nothing but my home roast since 2007! We even travel with my beans and a French Press - sometimes a grinder and water boiling device!

[SCantiGOP]

17. Several years ago, Consumer Reports

Did a full report, including the readers survey. Best overall, which included price per cup, was Eight O’Clock.
We have used it for a while, but I also like the old regular Folgers Classic Roast.

[SheilaAnn]

33. I love Eight O'Clock with Italian Sweet Cream. n/t

19. check out

Our specialty coffee is infused with high-purity Ver-ite™ Resveratrol, a powerful anti-aging nutrient promoting cardiovascular, brain, and joint/bone health.

22. "Can't handle Costco anymore"... Does that mean the Kirkland coffee or you just don't shop there

anymore?

[peacefreak2.0]

23. Cafe duMonde coffee with chicory.

A generous amount of cinnamon, in my trusty Melitta pour over.

[Mme. Defarge]

25. Peet's

Major Dickinson blend.

[2naSalit]

26. I buy Fair Trade no matter the roast.

I like some of the African coffees but South and Central American beans are good too. I prefer a full bodied medium roast and I make it in a porcelain drip cone - totally unapologetic coffee snob.

[Klaralven]

27. Peet's Major Dickason's Blend

[NewHendoLib]

28. My own - roasted from green beans from Sweet Maria

home roasting is easy, fun, cost effective, a great hobby - and once you do it, no purchased coffee tasted as good.

Charbucks and Peets (most of their beans, anyway) have the regional characteristics burned away.

Kenya, Burundi, Ethiopia, Rwanda my favorites

31. Dazbog KG Blend...very dark, but lovely!

[Runningdawg]

32. I know it's not trendy but McDonalds. Yes, you can buy it in grocery stores.

[mindfulNJ]

34. Good old

Chock Full O Nuts.

[JanMichael]

35. What's wrong with Costco?

Is it just too crowded for you now? If so you can always use the website. Costco is a great employer pays well has good benefits has less turnover than almost any other retail company in the world because they're good employers.
