ReflectedLight Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 QUOTE (iluvgeddy05 @ Feb 24 2011, 11:32 AM) Ever since visiting Cafe Britt in Costa Rica, I drink nothing else. You can buy it online and it's amazing. FYI: Your coffee should foam when poured or else it is probably a bad cup made from cheap coffee beans. if it's smooth, medium to light roast, and not bitter i might give it a shot. if it's it's a dark roast and taste burnt, no thanks.

LakesideMaiden Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 QUOTE (The Owl @ Feb 23 2011, 08:52 PM) ...ps.. am I the only one here who puts their coffee grounds in the freezer? It keeps it fresh longer.... I think.. I have a grinder, but have not bought actual beans in a while when you freeze the beans/grounds you actually lose a lot of the oils in the coffee. You're better off keeping it in a sealed canister, especially if you drink it often enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love pouring freshly-ground coffee into the press pot, then pouring the hot water in and seeing that nice layer of foam sitting on top. huh...I don't think I've ever seen that on anything other than a latte or cappuccino? certainly not on my home coffee maker? As for the coffee I drink most often, it's Dunkin Donuts all the way! I'm not a fan of Starbucks - too bitter for my tastes. I'm not familiar with more gourmet coffee beans because we don't have the extra funds to purchase it LOL I know my cousin loves Sumatran blend?

They have a lighter roast but really, none of their coffees taste bitter or dark. I would say, more rich, but again, there is a light roast. http://www.cafebritt.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or....just take off the lid, scoop out the right amount from the can, dump into the filter, and press "on". I used to drink instant Nescafe when I was younger.

VarianStar Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 We have a Keurig single cup brewer. I would never go back to any other kind of coffee maker again. My favorite k-cup is the Green Mountain Extra Bold Double Black Diamond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am DYING to get one of those Saeco espresso/cappucino machines. The kind with separate compartments for beans and water. You punch in what you want and the machine grinds the beans and takes it from there. My sister and her husband had one, and it was pretty much the coolest thing ever. However, they are $700.

iluvgeddy05 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Cafe Britt is pricey.. but look for deals. We bought 20 bags, free shipping to the states for $100 even. Still cheaper than $2 a day for Charbucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In addition to making excellent coffee, you can see it adds an extremely chic touch to the kitchen. It just screams "Look how COOL I AM!!!"
