Favourite coffee

[RedViking]

Nescafe Gold. Used to drink that Frisco rubbish until someone finally introduced me to real coffer. After you had Nescafe Gold you would never drink the other rubbish again.

what is your favourite coffee?

Pierre Lotti's dark roasts and beans not grounded of course.

I searched and there's no post like this!

Coffee Making, Latte Art, Barista Skills

There are a couple of threads on 'what to buy' for home and office, just a quick search: https://mybroadband.co.za/forum/threads/sniff-before-you-make-it-coffee-espresso-cappuccino.977569/ https://mybroadband.co.za/forum/threads/favourite-coffee.1139839/...

Although I think having a dedicate favourite coffee (bean!!!!) thread is awesome.

Decent Coffee

So I thought I'd start a thread, now that I've got a semi-decent espresso machine, on decent Coffee. I've had it just over a day and only used it for today and basically went through 250gm bag of coffee to dial the grinder and tamper process in and came to the conclusion that it doesn't matter...

We actually have a lot of coffee threads

So back to my coffee tasting update.

Rajuanse - I am not sure. This one might not work for me as an Espresso or Latte. But I have a feeling I will need to spend more time on this before the magic happens.

Relationship Blend - Wowees. Fruityness overkill and the nutty hangs around afterwords.

Los Naranjos - First you taste the Fruity and slight nutty and then the cocoa comes through and lingers for a while.

Deluxe Coffee - Ethiopia Yirgacheffe, mokka/Aeropress grind currently.

+1 for this if in Cape Town, it's quite cheap but good.

Here I am currently drinking one that is rather expensive, from Fenster Cafe in Vienna, 10 EUR/250g, so around double normal price, but beans are really nice and I don't drink as much as I used to.

That's cheap.

That's cheap.

Compared to true premium, yes, but in South African context, not really for a normal bean that isn't truly speciality.

Try the Gotham espresso beans from Tribeca and you will never drink any other coffee again

been on a mission to try specifically readily available (read: can get in the local supermarket) coffee beans lately, a very hit and miss affair

used to be fairly happy with House of Coffees Italian blend, but it just didn't cut it anymore so I went through a few Truth and Origin roasts, mostly average and eventually complete shyte

then overcorrected to the other side of the price range, been trying the Checkers' foreign ground single origin range:
- Guatemala = shyte
- Colombia = shyte
- Brazil = quite acceptable actually
... still need to go through the rest

after a couple of days breakaway in Franschhoek some time ago I had Terbodore for the first time, was surprised to see it sold at Checkers as well. The Great Dane and This is Africa are both nice with This is Africa probably being my favourite coffee at the moment

only problem is I like it quite strong so the pack doesn't last very long

I also enjoy the Nescafe Gold
I drink 1 cup of coffee when I wake up before work and that's it.
On my off days and weekends, I don't drink coffee as I normally wake up fresh and ready for the day and then head out to climb mountains on a hike with my energy drinks and H2O

P.S. It was supposed to be a joke. I don't drink such low class concoction.
