| I need your help on the finest, most exquisitely delectable coffee blend/brand/roast. I found a green coffee bean online, have you had this? All others feel free to input as well. Oh and I have to be able to find it at Wild Oats, not too obscure! |

I'm more of a Tea person than coffee to be honest.
One thing i can reccomend is to be "Fair Trade organisation" coffee. It tastes much better than that Nescafe e.
Probably makes it easier to swallow knowing some poor bloke isnt getting ripped off for his livlehood.
In the UK a good one of these coffees is 1061 i think. |

some of that fairtrade stuff tastes absolutely e, and it's not really helping the farmer that much. You can't go wrong with anything Kenco imo |

Preposterous! Nescafe HAHA. :rolleyes: You should know I know better!
I was waiting for you to reply. I didn't see any Fair Trade so I decided to support a local brewery that was developed in me mom's childhood neighborhood. "The Roasterie" It's just a custom blend and I chose it because of its dark chocolate undertone descriptors.
And as a gift I just went with a Starbucks Anniversary blend. Awaits yuppie flame?
Jackson, you need to convert! You're missing out...
Ok. I'm looking for something exotic. In Spain, I had a dark chocolate coffee. It was bold, strong, OVERPOWERING. Not sweet. This I bought for myself doesn't taste like it :(
Jasmine < beans ehheh hmm
Help me out, Ian. What is this Kenco you speak of?
OH! I found a Red Line Mojo I've heard others speak about too. What cha thank? |

While I think Starbucks quality has gone down tremendously over the last few years, as a corporation, I really dig a lot of what they're trying to do to switch to almost entirely fair traded coffee over the next ten years... And also they make kind of a lot of bold, moderately liberal political statements you just wouldn't expect from such a massive company...
And they were a cool company to work for as well... :cool: |

ah I'm sorry. I just always get the feeling that I'm missing out on some undiscovered quality when everyone uses corporations. Your right. I remember my boss coming in furious to work saying, "NO ONE DRINK STARBUCKS, THIS IS F****** RIDICULOUS, BUNCH OF ARROGANT YATA YATA" He got the staff together in a room hahaa and told us that Starbucks wouldn't deliver to the troops. I'm like riiiight, as if principles override my need for a double espresso mocha latte. :rolleyes: |

i never liked coffee until recently i had to drink it to stay awake for a project and now i like. kind of a coffee snob. My favorite include:
Donkin Donuts (yes it really is good even if its not l337).
Green Mountain (Mocha and Regular) fresh ground at the supermarket can't be beat. |
