Generally i drink folgers medium roast, but my brother gave me a couple pounds of gunship from the black rifle coffee company.
( they are a veteran owned and veteran run company who donates a portion of the profits to veteran agencies)
Its a little milder flavored than folgers but its damn good coffee.

I like brewed coffee but in my honest opinion, instant coffee is a sin!
 
I've never found an instant coffee that is drinkable.

I don't even like the stuff from a Kuerig machine. It is drinkable, but generally not very good. And I've tried a lot of that stuff, even owned a company that sold the machines in my former life.

For the past several years about 95% of my coffee drinking has been long shots of espresso, and I drink it black, no sugar. Usually 3 or 4 shots per day.

I like the stuff from Lavazza (Italy) then switched to Meinl (Austria) then tried a generic brand called Prince & Spring Breakfast Blend and really liked it. So I switched to the Prince & Spring. Price on that shot up and I switched to Cameron's Coffee Breakfast Blend.

I buy beans and grind them. While espresso is typically enjoyed black, the beans are generally lighter roasted beans. Not that dark or French roast stuff.

Cameron's is available at some supermarkets, various websites, and Amazon.

The Meinl is probably the best I've ever had. It is literally more than twice the price of the Cameron's and almost double the price of the Prince & Spring. When I factor in the cost of shipping to get it fresh from Austria via FedEx it is just crazy expensive. Meinl is great stuff, but the value is not there. Cameron's is darn good, and a good value, at least for my taste buds.
 
I'm a dark roast guy and the coffee that I drink most often is Folgers Black Silk, although I do drink their Columbian as well.

I'm not really a coffee snob but I do like my coffee freshly brewed. I can tell if coffee has been sitting on a hot plate even for 15 minutes. For that reason, unlike most people on here, I love my Keurig. One cup at a time, hot and fresh.
 
The best coffee in my opinion.

Folger's Columbian for me.

Folger's is a St Louis company. So is a local chain called Schnuck's. I once worked there for years.
Schnuck's private label coffee is Folger's but packaged in the old metal cans.

I drink at least two full pots every day.

I drink it black.

Simple, Hot and Cheap, like me.
 
I used to drink Folger's classic roast. Then I realized that I put so much sweeter and creamer in my coffee it likely didn't make any difference. Now I drink whatever instant coffee is on sale a Costco. Didn't make any difference in taste and I can make coffee much easier and faster now.
 
We've used Maxwell House for decades. It works. Shocked no one else has mentioned it.

I bought some Black Rifle and waiting for it to arrive. I'm anxious to try it.

I hear it is good but I’m sticking with my Cameron’s Coffee beans (for now). Too economical, yet still good quality, so I’m not changing
 
Howdy,
I have been drinking the Black Rifle coffee for about a month now. I have 2 different black roast versions. Since I had Covid I dont have a sense of taste anymore. I can get a little taste from those coffees.. The names of them are Tactisquatch and Beyond Black. I drink them black and can get a pretty good flavor. Have a goodun!!!!!!

I ordered pound of Gunship Roast and Vanilla Coffee Roast.
 
Howdy,
I guess I am lucky because I find mine at a Super Wal Mart. Hope you like yours as much as I like mine. Have a goodun!!!!!
 
I drink real coffee. Every morning when out I buy me a large Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Breakfast Blend for $1 at the General Store in town. Not a fussy coffee drinker at all. I saved the designer coffee's on the shelf for other folks, not for me. Wally World ground coffee when I make a carafe of coffee at home, usually a 50/50 blend of high test and DeCaf. Anyone who ever lived on Navy coffee can drink anything and I do.
 
When I had Covid about a year and half ago, I pretty much lost my senses of taste and smell. Now I drink the strongest dark roast that I can find so I can get a little taste. Heck, now I can eat Spam and it tastes just like a nice ribeye steak. Have a goodun!!!!

I love SPAM
 
There's no reasoning with the woman. She won't eat fowl either, no chicken, no turkey, no Cornish game hens, etc. She will occasionally pick at some duck, depending on how it is prepared. She will cook all those things for me though and for that I make sure that she is well stocked with both French and Italian roast coffee. It's a small price to pay.
 
Howdy,
well when I was a youngster during WW2 we ate it often as real meat was expensive. I guess I got burned out on it.
 
Since I'm the only coffee drinker in the house and usually only have one travel mug in the morning, a keurig is fine for me. I generally prefer a folgers medium roast but we buy whatever is on sale. I've had Columbian as well. Whatever is black and caffienated. No cream as it upsets my tummy. Anything more than one cup a day and I'm pissing like a race horse
 
My favorite is Kona Coffee but at around $40 per pound, it's an item I don't see much.
I drink Maxwell House. Don't really care which flavor as long as it's hot.

I'm a lot like you.
I'm not a coffee snob, I will and have drunk just about anything wet, black and hot. It does have to be made fresh though.

yes! fresh coffee = fresh start :LOL:

Fresh isn't super important to me. At our house, you always have to leave at least a cup in the pot overnight so whomever gets up first has at least a cup to get kick-started while a new pot brews.
