Talk to me about coffee.

I use the refillable pod with mine too.  I love flavored coffees as I don't use any creamer or sugar.  I order my coffee from gourmetcoffee.net.  They have a million flavors. 

I drink Peet’s Sumatra or Major Dickinson’s. I love very strong black coffee.

I hate the refillable pods. I'm lazy and want to pop one in and throw it away.

My favorite coffee, available in beans, ground, or pods is Caribou. You can buy it on Amazon.

I’m getting away from my processed creamers so I love my light roast Caribou coffee. Dh gave me six boxes for Mother’s Day, best gift ever!

I'm drinking LavAzza right now. It's an italian coffee I pick up at the grocery store. I'm in Canada so I'm unsure if it's available in the States

We buy 100% Kona direct from a small processor at an amazingly low price.

I have been using refillables since the first day I purchased my Keurig. I love Black Riffle Coffee. No frills, just good coffee. I prefer the Snipe Hide, but they have all different likes from light to dark.

That sounds amazing!

I will, thank you

I've been using a small Bodum French Press for years now and it's the fastest, simplest way to make a great cup of coffee. I like it for several reasons. I can choose any brand of coffee I like. The size I have makes 2 big mugs of coffee-just enough for me. I drink one, then refill the second and microwave it to heat it up. I can wash it out very quickly by hand and it's ready to use again. It's a glass carafe and stainless steel so it's healthy. 

The coffee we're currently drinking comes from Whole Foods (where I do our weekly grocery shopping) and is a locally roasted brand of organic coffee (organic because I want the healthiest version I can buy, and actually it's not anymore expensive than Starbucks coffee). I'm sorry but I can't remember the name. It's very smooth, is a more middle of the scale coffee (not dark, not light) and has a hint of chocolate. We love it.  I buy the beans and we grind it at home. I drink it black with a teaspoon of raw sugar. 

Update:  Just went upstairs to make a new pot of coffee and didn't realize we had a new bag of this coffee in the house, so know I can tell you the name of it. It's called Rise Up Coffee Roasters, and the flavor I like is Organic House Roast. On the bag it says Creamy/ Chocolatey/ Balanced.  Also listed is Medium. Fair Trade Certified, and USDA Organic. I was told by one of the clerks in Whole Foods that it's a local company. On the bag it says Est. 2005. 

I buy from a company located in the Wheaton, Illinois, area called I Have A Bean (Ihaveabean.com) that hires exconvicts. I love their coffee, and they recently started selling loose tea.

I like Green Mountain Lake & Lodge and my son is a big fan of Caribou Mahogany

     I buy fair trade, organic coffee because I want the healthiest version of coffee beans I can buy. I do believe organic coffee is grown without pesticides, and drinking it is much healthier for you than drinking regular (not organic) coffee.  This was the information Food Revolution Network recently posted on their facebook page. Food Revolution is a group who's CEO is Ocean Robbins. His father is the author of a book called "Food Revolution" (and many others)  a book that came out in 2001 about how much healthier it was to follow a whole foods, plant based diet. They often do workshops together, and other projects. 

 For myself I don't want to take the chance of pesticides making it through the outer hull of the berry to the bean. Even if 1% make it through-that's too much for me. The coffee I by in Whole Foods is $11.99 a bag for 1 pound of beans. That's the price of many of the 1 pound bags of Starbucks bags from what I can remember. My grocery bill is much lower these days because I don't buy any kind of meat or dairy, so I can afford these coffee beans. 

 I do appreciate your advice Dalai Mama and I know it was given in the best intentions to save me money. 

I have the refillable pod and use the Tim Horton's I ordered from Amazon. My office only has a Keurig, so I don't have a choice about that, but I do have a choice about the coffee that I use. Tim Horton's all the way!!
