Coffee anyone?

For you coffee drinkers, do you have a brand that you really like? I drink Folgers and Maxwell House, sometimes Starbucks, but I'd like to try something new. Suggestions?

Lavazza, Illy, Carraro, Borbone, Vescovi

@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.
