Some of the best coffee I've ever had out of a French press

Cafe Bustelo Espresso Style K-Cup.

Broke down and ordered an Arbuckle's Butter Pecan out of shear cowboy lore curiosity. Surely the butter pecan wasn't an original flavor offered but I love pecan coffee so there you have it. Arriving Friday and I'll post a review.

Lavazza Gran Crema is our default if we don't have any new bags from local roasters. I have a similar set up as another poster with a Jura Super Automatic so always on the lookout for darker, non-oily beans.

We typically buy from local roasters. Purefi out of Old Town Spring in Houston is a favorite. Always grab some Cuvee when over in Austin. Have a family connection that brings back coffee from Costa Rica throughout the year. Mix it up. So much good coffee out there to drink the same stuff over and over.

Even try Kopi Luwak! Had it in Bali on a trip, and it was super smooth.

All of above said, I do enjoy the smell of Maxwell House and a cup or two from time to time. There's a certain nostalgia to it for me.

Welcome to the cowboy curiosity crowd! Like I said, that's why I ordered mine. I really like the plainsman blend. It just smelled really good when I got it. Have not tried the Ariosa variety yet. One thing I did do is stop by Walmart and get one of the old fashioned type jars with a seal and a locking lever. Seems to keep it fresher longer.

As a non-coffee drinker I have nothing to add to this thread, but would like to ask a legitimate question of you coffee connoisseurs. Have you tried Crio Bru brewed cacao and if so, what was your experience?

Grounds and Hounds' Rescue Roast is one of the best I've had. A little too pricey for me to buy often though.

Boyd's French roast is also very good but I don't see it much anymore.

We bought a Jura Z10 and it was one of the best investments. I buy about bunch of the small farm variety's that onyx coffee lab sells, and it's the best coffee every morning.

I use these little cup thingies that we get at the HEB and put them in this machine dealy-whopper that spits out a cup of coffee. But, I'm clearly missing out after reading all of the posts above. I need to up my game.

You and me both! I guess we aren't true coffee Connie sewers

I'm from SA and have never heard anyone say a bad thing about Merit. Everyone who has had it before loves it. Had no idea it was Aggie owned until now.

What? You don't have ice from the top of Kilimanjaro shipped in in platinum containers?

My coffee is imported from Katmandu and made fresh every 13 hours by either my third wife of seven, who happens to be Venzuelan, or a concubine of mine, I can't recall.

Anyways, the artisan water is quadruple-reverse osmosised into our kitchen's live spring fountain of ~5000BC origin, where it combines to create an optimal water source for this unique blend.

It is then served to me on a Pharoah's serving tray, which has been hand painted by Michaelangelo.

This was my ritual during the writing of my second NY Times bestseller.

I guess this isn't real outdoors, except that I do love to sit out on the porch with a cup of joe. Has anyone here ever tried Arbuckle coffee? It's what they call the coffee that won the west, because it's been around so long. Guess I read too many Louis L'Amour novels ( all of them, several times over) where they always had to get their Arbuckles coffee. Anyhow, got curious about it, and it is still made, although kinda pricey. Really having trouble finding coffee that tastes good to me anymore, so ordered 2 varieties from them. As the all knowing outdoor board KNOWS STUFF, just thought I'd check and see if anyone else drinks it. Thanks!

The best coffee I have ever made or had has been through something like this or a percolator camping. During the last two week power outage during the snowstorm, we cooked exclusively on camp stoves and wood burning stoves in our house that hadn't been used in 100 years. The coffee was alway the best thing in the world and the brand did not matter.

After yall get done doing coffee, you can go to this dudes YouTube channel and watch the chicken fried steak one.

House of Coffee Beans on Bissonnet in West U has a broad selection of great single origin beans and blends from mild to full city roasts.
