Coffee anyone?

@cherokeepatti i wish we had those kinds of stores where i live in canada....inflation keeps going up but my wage isn't 😩

@beermeplease The food prices are terrible in Canada. Very sad, I think it’s taxes isn’t it?

@cherokeepatti taxes are terrible here and in april they are raising the liquor tax to what is already taxed so high....the only thing not taxed here is lottery winnings (we would be taxed on the interest though) send me some lottery vibes please...i'll send you powerball vibes 🙏

@DemureDeb safest.

@samueltyler2 Yes

@DemureDeb i also found Wegman's espresso roast, whole bean i grind just before brewing, works great. I also love my Nespresso capsules.

@DemureDeb which houses? Start drinking coffee the way I like it? Let us not coopt this thread though. We can be privately naughty. 🥰

@samueltyler2 You get first pick ok? Yes we'll drink coffee fhe way you like. Just no alcohol in mine please. I tend to be loopy even my right mind.
Be privately naughty? How do you do that? I have no clue

@DemureDeb in PM not on public posts, non alcoholic okay. But dark and nude!
How demure are you? 😈

@SW-User actually I like chocolate covered beans to eat.

@SW-User I will chew on coffee beans once in awhile just for the fun of it or for a jolt 😊

@HannibalAteMeOut you never know mmm

@HannibalAteMeOut

@HannibalAteMeOut I rarely drink an espresso but good to know

@DemureDeb oh yes.all my very own .. ive a bushy backyard of the coffee beans...

@KA9ha How nice!

@DemureDeb ha ha not so nice.... seems coffee plants invite snakes to infest in the roots...

@SethGreene531 I will try these

@Elisbch 🤣

Actually, I only really pack what I need and try to make it light. Less stress traveling lighter. 😉... I'll help carry your bags too. 😊... @DemureDeb

@Elisbch I'm glad to have your help because I don't pack light

@icedsky Haven't heard of that brand. I like dark roast

@DemureDeb Found it on amazon but have since seen it in some grocery stores

@icedsky Oh that's cool!

@RileyLandS Yeah I'll try that

@canusernamebemyusername I've heard of the Juan Valdez brand

@DemureDeb they have them over a wide range of prices. I have a rather high end automatic one. It grinds, loads, automatically then pushed hot water under pressure through the grass NDS, dumps the grounds and starts all over again.

@samueltyler2 Oh wow, how nice!

@DemureDeb not cheap, but very good coffee.

@Elisbch I have high blood pressure. It might be good for me to to drink half caf too.😊

I have yet to get a definitive answer from a doctor and I have asked 4 so far. ..lol. Some places I've read on the internet say that the increase in blood pressure is temporary. I don't think they really know for sure, doctors or the Internet lol. If you're on blood pressure medication daily and you have a blood pressure cuff you could always kind of experiment and take your readings? I've never wasted my time doing it and i never feel guilty about falling off the wagon LOL.. 😄 .. @DemureDeb

@Elisbch When it comes to my coffee I never feel to guilty about this one indulgence LOL

@DemureDeb green mountain is delicious, I discovered it when I was on vacation at Gettysburg, PA a few years ago.

@SW-User How nice. I've never been that far east.

@DemureDeb I live on the east coast....Virginia

@CountScrofula I do the same with a Scottish roaster and importer, I have a barrister espresso machine at my desk which costed far too much money.

I've had bad luck with grinders though, need a good one.

@Ryannnnnn I couldn't justify the cost to get into espresso but if I ever find myself with a sack of cash handy I'll get a machine. That said a manual grinder capable of espresso is the best affordable way to go to get quality withoiut spending 800 pounds on something.

@CountScrofula Nice

@SW-User Really? That's too bad

@DemureDeb yeah… it’s all about Dunkin’ Donuts volume pursuit to them now rather than the true craft coffee blends they once were known for

@SW-User ☹️

@Confined How nice!

@saragoodtimes Sadly there isn't an Aldi's where I live. If there was I'd shop there

@DemureDeb it's become my favorite store to shop

@saragoodtimes I'm sure it would be mine too. I'm glad to have a Walmart, but Walmart needs some competition

@Ghostinthemachine I like Mcds coffee

@iamelijah I like Nescafe. Fresh coffee brewed from coffee beans is the best!
I'll keep the Bali brand in mind

@DemureDeb Bali is not a brand. Its coffee bean type. I'm sorry. My English is mixed sometimes I can get confuse what I am about to say. 😅🙏🏻🙏🏻

Oh sorry 🤣

@hunkalove I've tried it one time. I thought it was good

@Zonuss Tea is good 😊

@Elessar we don't have the last three ones here or at least never saw them but since an Italian agrees with my espresso choices I'm doing it right

@HannibalAteMeOut The first two are more mainstream; third and last idk if and how much they exist outside my region. Borbone should be pretty big too, at least nationally it is.

The absolute best quality wise is the one you get from small shops that will toast it for you on the spot, than any of these packaged/branded ones, but yeah it's less practical. You should also have a grinder in order to grind it immediately before brewing it, if you want to be a purist. Absolutely forget about capsules as well. in that case

Then of course the machine plays a major role as well. My €50 one from Lidl certainly won't brew coffee that could even remotely compete against the coffee brewed by machines that cost 20x as much, independently from the coffee/brand used. 😅

@Elessar yeah I've never had capsules. I just buy already grinded because I make it myself in the morning so no time to do anything else hahah but if I want a better one I will just go to a cafe bar.

@BeachGirl47 I buy alot of Great Value brand at Walmart😊

@DemureDeb i do too

@Iwillwait Yes I like that too

@Sidewinder Yes that's good 😊

@OverTheHill I don't have a Meijer store here in Nebraska. I could probably go online and find those that you mentioned.

@QueenOfTheNerds Yes I am too

@Lilymoon Never heard of it

@tiggerandariel13 I've heard those are good

@SarahAndSamantha Never heard of Cain's

@DemureDeb It might be regional. I know they're based out of Oklahoma. I used to work at a restaurant that served it and I just took a liking to it. It's nothing fancy, but a good flavor

@SarahAndSamantha I'm always a sucker for good flavored coffee😋

@Confined Yeah that's why I want to try something different

@CookieCrumbs I haven't bought coffee beans in a long time.

@DemureDeb
I like to grind coffee that’s good for 2-3days max. And we usually need diff grinds from the same beans. It would depend if we will use the espresso machine, coffee machine or manual drip.

@SW-User Not where I live. I live in Hicksville...lol

@RuyLopez 🤣

@ElwoodBlues I'll try it

@Adogslife I used to use the K-cups. That flavor sounds good.

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout No trick question

@Matt85 I haven't seen it in the US

@Scribbles Never heard of it. I'll try it

@SW-User Yeah. Definitely have to acquire a taste for it and not everyone likes it
