What is your favorite coffee brand and why do you love it?

[Amy10223]

I think that Alto Grande from Puerto Rico is the smoothest, most delicious coffee I have ever tried. It sells only online and in P. R.

Cafe Bustelo Espresso Roast is my go to brick of ground coffee. It's priced right and tastes great if you like really strong flavor. Maybe too much if you like mild coffee flavor.

[Amy10223]

That’s the coffee I grew up with. To me now, it tastes a little strong. I bet you’d love Alto Grande.

I lived in Puerto Rico for 4 years (Mayaguez) and worked out of Anasco and the Coast Guard Base in Aquadilla. Caribbean Basin Initiative. Puerto Ricans make excellent coffee. The evaporated milk through me off at first, now I love it.

*put me off at first.

[Amy10223]

I like evaporated milk in coffee, it gives it a creamy sweet flavor. PR is one of the best places in the world for growing coffee. My father was from Aquadilla. I know Mayaguez but have only driven through there once.

The Horned Dorset Primavera in Rincon. The Lazy Parrot in Rincon. El Estoril in Mayaguez. La Bahia Vista in Cabo Rojo. Maria's bakery in Mayaguez... God level rotisserie chicken. The best I've ever eaten. And about a dozen different flavors of Brazo Gitano made in store. Arroz y habichuela con tostones de pana at Nali's Kid's place in Anasco. Mofongo con camarones. Bistec San Jacobo. And flan. And tres leches. Memories.

My favorite is Illy from Italy ☕
I love its balance: rich aroma, chocolatey notes, low bitterness, and a super clean finish. It reminds me of early-morning espressos in a tiny bar in Trieste, standing at the counter with locals. The consistency is amazing too, whether in moka pot, espresso machine, or even AeroPress.

I don't have any particular brand that I prefer. I do not own a coffee machine, percolator or any other coffee making device such as filter coffee.

When I want a coffee, I go to my local coffee shop that serves typical italian coffee using a barrista machine. Of course, I would not be caught dead going to one of those US franchiser that "pollute" real coffee with dirty dish liquid style brew they dare to call coffee.

I do not know what brand coffee they use but I am entirely satisfied with what I get. It is tasty and does not taste like burned coffee.

[Amy10223]

I don’t have a fancy coffee maker but I bought a glass one where the coffee water is poured through the top and it comes down into a glass flask through a filter. I personally like mine because my great grandfather had a coffee plantation in Puerto Rico, and I once had the most delicious expresso coffee in a little town there in the mountains. I mentioned is smooth, not acidic, and almost nutty in flavor.

[SueShe]

I guess that is totally different to taste coffee right from the plantation before it is being sent to factories for processing and probably mixing some additives to make it taste "better".

[Iron_Man]

I don’t like coffee I only go to Starbucks and get a Frappuccino. It’s like a frozen milkshake almost with a coffee flavor that’s decent and I really don’t like American coffee either and Cuban coffee is like 1 ounce it’s nothing full of caffeine

[Amy10223]

Yes Cuban coffee is pretty famous and rich tasting. There is a place at tge airport that sells a good one, the store name is Carreta, I think. Miami intl airport.

[Iron_Man]

Well, that’s where I live in Miami

[Amy10223]

Yes, the robots told me that. :D

[Iron_Man]

Well, that’s good to know

[Kaneki05]

Don't have one because I like any coffee and think it all tastes the same.
Which means I can get the cheapest they have, though I like the instant coffee mocha's as they taste differently.
Also I used to not like coffee black but now I can drink coffee with milk or without no bother, I probably do have a preference if I were to be picky but I'm not.

[Nikki1989]

There are too many brands that I like for the coffee machine; however, there is only one instant that I enjoy, and that is Bushells Goumet.

[Amy10223]

It heard of that. I’ll have to look for it.

[Amy10223]

Whoops— not heard of it

[Sevenpointfive]

it all tastes kind of the same when you add milk and sugar. i don't mind bad coffee at all because i don't drink coffee regularly.

[Amy10223]

But there are some with high acidity, and are too strong. The one I like is so smooth and not acidic at all. Delicious.

[loveslongnails]

There's two.. Medaglia 'd "Oro of Italy and Meo of France

[Amy10223]

I’ve tried the first, it’s good!

[Bklynbadboy12]

I hate the taste of coffee but I love the way it smells. How could something the smells so good taste so horrible

[Amy10223]

Haha, add some cream to it ( half and half) and it’ll be better.

[Bklynbadboy12]

Okay i will

[AgentG111]

Black rifle coffee company and Foldgers.

[Amy10223]

Not heard of the first.

[AgentG111]

Wow? Gotta look them up, all US veterans owners and operated.

[Amy10223]

Sounds strong. Does it have a strong flavor? I saw their website.

[RachyRach]

Love my Nespresso machine so any of their pods!

[slatyb]

We get ours from a local roaster.

[jazzy34]

I like Folgers and Cafe Bustelo.

[Maria1986z]

I enjoy Kirkland brand.
