re: Best everyday coffee you've tried.

My “house blend” is Orleans Coffee roasters’ Espresso crema, whole bean. I intermittently switched between moka pot coffee and french press, so I vary the grind size.

In all honesty, I probably drink more Nespresso Roma pods than anything else, as it’s my go-to hurried weekday morning shot, and I keep it in my office for a 3 pm jolt.

I grew up on Community Between Roast, then went to Cafe Special.

I find the Duncan Donuts (standard or whatever it's called) it have more flavor. So far, I can handle a $1 more.

I too, would like to try a grinder. Do you grind before every pot, or grind a few days in advance?

I grind beans everyday. In the past I've used different varieties from World Market or Whole Foods (one of the 365 versions in 2lb bags). Last year I started trying the various coffees Costco offers. The first two times they had 3lb bags of a Mayan organic bean that I really liked. As usual they quit carrying that and I tried one from Costa Rico, also pretty good. That was gone the next time and I tried a Guatemalan, it was okay. This last time they had nothing new, a few bags of the Guatemalan left and their Kirkland version of Colombian. It's my least favorite so far. At least its only a 2lb bag.

EDIT: These are weekday, drip coffee maker.

On weekends I do french press with with local beans if I can find them or with single variety from Fresh Market or Whole Foods.

+1 on River Road. I like their Creole or Acadian roasts. Roasted in BR. Community tastes burned to me.

I like Tim Hortons made in a french press.
It's a nice change.

It's probably just nostalgia (grew up in Lake Charles) but I prefer Seaport to Community.

Wait, I'm so confused by all of the love for Community. I've always found Community to be pretty shitty. What am I missing?

It is shitty, but you're missing the power of being ubiquitous and easy to reach.
