People go through the trouble of using a french press, and just put tap water in the damn kettle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonPacific Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 Agreed, I've had the best and worst coffee of my life in Italy, best was an espresso bar in Sienna, worst was a Lavazza in Rome. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is kind of hard on Bose, lol. I don't know of any national producers that make good beans, or at least beans I like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradseubert Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 i don't use anything too fancy, Chemex pour over carafe, i get my whole coffee beans from Anodyne coffee roasters in Milwaukee, they get beans from all over the world, my current favorite is Dark Sumatra Takengon Ketiara, along with a blend they call Atomic and one called Papu New Guinea Namrua they roast in small batches if any of you are close check them out, great stuff!, If your in the Milwaukee area check out valentine coffee. They roast there own in house and it is by far the best coffee I have had. They use a pour over so each cup is fresh and they have 10 different coffees from all over the world that you can get a cup or bag of beans of. Great local place. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Cancelleri Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 It's the CNC of the coffee making world. The results suck however. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just not a fan of keeping civets in cages while force feeding them beans. This is different than keeping chickens in cages and force feeding them so they are tasty.

The whole thing looks like an ebola factory. I have roasted my own beans with the popcorn popper but I don't have the time to get it right and to keep it up so I have a local place (Chesapeake Bay Roasting Company) ship me their beans because I would rather not get them from a store that could have had them laying around for 8 months. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention the incredible amount of waste it creates. One pot of perc coffee is equivalent to 12 kuerig cups. The perc coffee has only compost - the filter and grounds. The Keurig has 12 new cups for the landfill. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClassAct Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 My thoughts exactly, Pug. Pods are environmentally evil, plus the coffee is insanely expensive when you calculate per-pound cost. Just say no to pods! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denette Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 For the price of a keurig and k-cups over a couple of years you could have had immensely better coffee from a more environmentally friendly maker. I have a Mr. Coffee percolator for my everyday thermos I take to work and a Bodom French press for when I am at home. I recommend saving your cash and getting better coffee rather than a better coffee maker. Try some from this place and tell me it's not some of the best coffee you've ever had. http://www.thebeancoffeecompany.com 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minnesota Steve Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 I just bought the most amazing coffee machine. Works well for making one cup at a time, and very easy cleanup. Just dump filter in garbage and rinse out the coffee machine. Does require the ability to boil water but that's not difficult to master. I paid under $10 and that included a box of 100 extra filters. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
