I was turned on to a brand called Peet’s coffee about 2 months ago and wow is that stuff good. I had been a plain old Folgers perker for probably 20 years, but damn if this stuff isn’t Nectar.
I have to say even though I don’t frequent Dunkin Donuts there coffee is still my favorite of all time, not even close.
as i was moving up through the ranks to the coffee snob i am now i used to drink a lot of yuban. the original blend. i usu buy whole beans from the local shop for my own cup 0’ joe, but if i have family/friends coming where i’m going to be making 2 or 3 pots, i get the yuban.
if you have any small, local roasters give their stuff a try. even the whole foods here in tempe has locally roasted stuff. but if you do want to get the same stuff off the shelf and keep it simple, i say try the yuban.
bottoms up!
Peet’s is a NorCal company and we have a Peets on every corner. Good stuff but at home I brew Www.coffeesofhawaii.com. Usually their Kona but I also like their Muleskinner.

I do a lot of Royal Kona or Lion coffee… I love Kona, but my daily is a 10% Kona Blend. Just finished up the last of the Holiday Mele Kalikimocha.

I prefer peet’s on the go and CoH at home and at the office.
I just like a good FRESH Columbian Supremo.
One of the best coffees I have ever had was Costa Rican Peaberry. A friend of mine stayed on a coffee plantation there and brought it back for me. I’m going to have to get the name of the place and order some more…
