She didn't like espresso either but that was what the market demanded.
She sold me a cup of regular coffee from her personal pot.

It’s comforting to know there are compassionate people out there...


You ask for an “Americano�.

I figured that out myself but it is just a shot of espresso in a cup
of hot water. The lady who ran the restaurant had a Mr Coffee in the
back for herself.
The absolute best coffee I have ever had was at the Myrtle Bank Hotel
in Kingston Jamaica. The Ritz in Naples was a close second. It is a
very strong coffee but not bitter, burnt or harsh in any way. It just
has a very distinctive taste to it and I am not sure how they do it.

Try Caribou Coffee's "Mahogany". It's a dark roast with a smooth flavor..

Actually, the best coffee is whichever 'bold' Costco has on sale. I'll keep my eyes open for
Caribou. Does it come in a K-cup?

Yes, whole bean, ground, and K-cup. Make sure it's Mahogany, they make one that's just Caribou, but it's a medium roast.

Silly.

I don't really get the K cup thing. I think it is taking something
that is basically dirt cheap, regular drip coffee and making it more
expensive for no particular reason. I do drink more coffee than most K
cup users tho. We have a "one cup" feature on our coffee maker but I
have only used it a few times. This is not a K cup, it is a smaller
filter and a single dose of coffee. You can either use a "pod" a
coffee bag like the Maxwell house thing or a teaspoon of coffee in the
reusable filter basket.
We make a 12 cup pot first thing in the morning, my wife has a mug or
two and I work on the rest all day


Wife worked on me for months until I agreed to get her a Keurig coffee
maker. I was perfectly happy with the old Hamilton Beech model we had.
She buys and tries all the different types available in pods while I
throw two little scoops of Folgers into the reuseable pod each morning.
On Sunday I usually reward myself with a Donut House or MacDonald's pod.

I usually buy Don Carlos from Costco/Sams. It is a pretty good coffee
at a reasonable price. I am still trying to decide if I need my own
grinder. I grind it at the store now and I do think it is better
freshly ground,

Every Christmas I kick around the idea of a coffee grinder. I've used one
in the past, for years,
'til it broke. If you get one, be sure it is a burr grinder.


Also good for grinding spices.

That will give your coffee a little different wang.
It may be where all of the designer blends came from in the first
place.
How the hell else would someone get pumpkin spice in their coffee?

You stick some bread in it and grind it up. Dump it, wipe out and it's ready to go.

I don't think K cups are designed for people like you. They are for
people like myself who used to want an occasional cup of coffee during
the day but most of the time don't drink much coffee. I have one cup
in the morning with Mrs.E. while she tells me how great Trump is. :-)

When we bought the K-cups for it we didn't buy the Keurig brand or Green
Mountain. Dunkin' Donuts sells their coffee in K-cups and that's what
we'd get.


I understand that and if that is what you do it is probably perfect
for you. I just know people who "K cup" coffee all day long. (like my
daughter)

Yup. Smart daughter.
