Starbucks best coffee yet?

[nun2kute]

IMO Starbucks = S___ucks

[SciFiJim]

I buy green beans online, usually Ethiopian and Brazil or Honduras, and I roast them to full city+ (dark and very oily) for about $6/lb, $8/lb for the really good stuff.

Where do you find Ethiopian beans that cheap? My daughter brought some back from a deployment stop in Djibouti and it was like you said, "really good stuff".

I just looked on Amazon. Looks like I will need to learn to roast my own. I don't drink enough coffee to buy a roaster. Is there a way to roast on the stove top or in the oven?

I have tried Starbucks a couple of times and am glad that I don't have to drink it. I agree with the ones above that McDonald's is the best for me.

Not a dark roast, the smoke will run you out of the house. Ethiopians roast over an open fire in a skillet. You will need to look to Bodhi coffee traders, Sweet Maria, Burman, there are a bunch of sellers of green beans. You can use a popcorn popper, a tabletop convection oven lid over a whirly pop bottom makes a decent roaster I used one for years, youtube for roasting coffee you will see any number of methods for home roasting.

I accidentally bought green beans once. The Teaberry - and discovered that roasting beans in the oven is very possible, at least to second crack - but the smell of beans roasting (not good) and coffee brewing are very different. And the outer skin is very light, white, and goes everywhere.

Just discovered this coffee. We love it, even if for just a change from our regular Maxwell House. The "Black Rifle Coffee Company" was formed & run by vet's. Buy from Amazon, Cabela's or direct. We like "Just Black" (JB) medium roast.

I order from Rhoads Roast Coffees and The Green Dragon Coffee House. Vet owned and they import a lot of coffee. I like Costa Rican SHB Ep Tarrazu La Pastora Fresh Roasted 100% Arabica Coffee Beans. Been drinking Tarrazu for more years than I care to remember. When Folgers started using cheap beans their taste went down the tubes.

Starbucks coffee is heartburn city for me. I'll pass, thank you.

I to dislike the politics of starbucks , will not buy it . Funny how many gun owning conservatives I work with order it on the grocery order though . I make my coffee at home in a electric percolator pot made by presto .

Ditto I have never spent a single dime in a Starbucks. I was dragged into one by some family members. I did not pay....

Look. I'm not the biggest Starbucks fan. But when I need my caffeine and it's the only thing around, it'll do. Given choices, it wouldn't be my first. But I'm not gonna dog em for giving me that burnt bean juice. Much better than boat coffee.

Here I am sitting in my deer stand, reading about all this good coffee, not Starbucks, and drinking instant coffee...you guys suck.
As to Starbucks, my kids love it, when they ask if I want anything, I get a chai tea latte, bout all I can stand from them. They are too expensive, and to top it off, they put a tip jar at the drive through...as if.

Instant coffee is world's better than starbucks.

I like the burnt tar description. I find it bitter and unpleasant. I prefer a light roast, even the French Vanilla or Hazelnut stuff, keep the Coconut Cream for weekends. I do go through 2 Joe Dimaggio pots a day and have been drinking the local (Denver) Boyer's Coffee's for 20 plus years. It is available at our local Sam's Club.

I'm like dougguy but I normally don't roast them quite that dark.

Any of the Central american country beans tend to be good.
I like to blend some fresh roasted green beans after roasting with some older store roasted.

Hazelnut, in sumertime Mississippi grog with its wide array of flavors is good.

Wintertime its Pedro's Pride to keep a northern boy awake on a cold below zero morning.

The best of all was a small wood fire of plum branches a stainless steel utensil holder, a vice grip handle, and beans roasted over an open fire with a hint of that smoky flavor. Man that stuff was good.

As to where to find the beans, you have to hunt for them.

Those are 20$ for 3 lbs, which is just a bit over 6$ per pound. But they are good enough that it is worth it.

I like blending my own blends. Grinding fresh every morning. Adjusting how much to grind based on weather and how I'm feeling.

Most of my green coffee is saved for when or if I can no longer buy good whole bean coffee. I aim to be the last guy in the state of North Dakota that has coffee, and if that day comes my prices will make starbucks look like they were giving it away.

Starbucks coffw is hot dirty water.

If the coffee is made in a thermous /carfe I won't touch it.

I live in Utah were coffee is a sin.

I have been consuming it since I was 20. I got hooked in the army working night shift.

I will buy coffee from gas stations but never starbucks as the will burn the crap out of it by keeping it in a heated thermous.



Btw the best cup of coffee . Is when you are camping. It doesn't matter how you make it.

Starbucks is anti 2A. I guess everybody forgot.

Black Rifle Coffee Co. pooped on their pop tart throwing Kyle Rittenhouse under the bus over a pic that surfaced of the kid with a BRCC T-shirt.

The only time I have tried Starbucks coffee is when waiting in the mall while my wife shops. The only bright spot about this pandemic is no malls(no Starbucks).

For years I brewed Community coffee at home. Someone recommended Folger's Black Silk. I saw that I could buy it in those tall plastic containers so I tried it. I really like it. She drinks Keurig(actually, Tully's Italian Roast) and I drink Black Silk, both black. Now I've got all sorts of containers for brass, etc.

I drank mild coffee from when I was about 16 on. I really learned to drink coffe in the Army, especially when in the field. Our mess Sgt. would put a 15 gallon pot of water on the field stove. When it began a good rolling boil he would dump in a 2 quart ladel of coffe grounds, when it was black it was done. We would dip our canteen cup in to drink it. That stuff would make your hair stand on end.
That being said, I can't stand Starbucks coffee. My wife got a gift card once for a medium coffee at SB, since she doesn't drink coffee I got it. I ordered a regular coffee and it tasted like they burned the grounds before adding any water, haven't been back since. I too like MacDonalds or Burger King coffee better.
