Have to agree. If it's not something you like, why? Save the cash for bike stuff.

I like a natural wash coffee bean, gives it a funk sometimes akin to alcohol!

Even though I use a Baratza burr grinder and a Technivorm Moccamaster coffee maker, my favorite coffee is Eight O'Clock coffee. Change my mind.

Suggestion as a daily coffee drinker: Roast your own coffee. You'll enjoy better quality, absolute freshness, roast control and much lower cost.
Green beans are $6 to $9 per pound. Same or lower quality pre-roasted beans at $12-$25 a pound. Keurig type cups are the equivalent of $50+ per pound. I buy from www.sweetmarias.com. They have lots of great East African beans that fit that flavor type you're looking for. I use an old air popcorn popper, works fine. I roast 1/3 pound at a time, takes maybe 20 minutes. |

I tried roasting on a lark, and did not expect to keep it up, but for me this has been the gateway to a higher plane of coffee enjoyment. I would keep doing it, even if I lived next door to a world-class roaster (which I kind of do, now), because of the variety of coffees I have access to*, and the ultimate control over freshness. In other words: If you roast your own, not only do you get optimum freshness, but the coffee is better to begin with. (* = Sweet Maria's)

** I do NOT have a $200k roaster, that’s just a sample price of one of their mid-size roasters I think..

Yes good point about weight loss in roasting. I get ~14% loss on ‘city’ (light) roasts. Still a cheaper than the cheapest pre-roast and delicious, fresh coffee from known farms.

My wife has one of their vintage tins. I can't speak to the beans, but I do prefer the vintage branding:

Ah, 8 O'clock. The rim brakes of coffee... (I like both).

Local to me and all of there coffee are outstanding. They are very picky about where they buy there beans and the farmers that grow them. These are my goto beans, buy a 5# bag at a time. Grind them each morning and the taste is oh so wonderful. Last edited by skiezo; 02-01-2024 at 07:49 PM. |

Great minds lol. That's my setup, and I think Eight O'Clock is a great bang for the buck coffee. I buy a bag in between shipments from Craft Coffee.

Aeropress
I know this doesn't address your question but if you end up looking for minimal hassle and find the french press less than ideal, look into the aeropress. Great if you only make a single cup at a time.
You'll have to pry my from my dead hands. |
