Coffee

In a very strange way and stretched to the maximum, Sweet Marias coffee can be associated with American Vets because it’s produced in Oakland, Ca and that’s where thousands of us boarded a plane headed for Viet Nam.
That sarcasm joint is aching again. Ya know, that joint that connects the facetious bone with the acidulous bone?

 

And just what do you know about veterans? Just something out of your vast personal file?
No I will not support them because they are full throated supporters of the failed would be dictator trump!
Just like the my pillow dude and many others.
Displaying your religious and or political stripes while running a business is a two edged sword.

 

Gee. how much more off topic can ya get here Pete and how many more threads are ya gonna destroy with your hatred?
Actually, backing Trump was a great strategic business move. When many conservatives threatened to boycott Starbucks, Black Rifle stepped it up by throwing their favor toward Trump thereby gaining a huge amount of momentum in sales.
Capitalism at it’s best.

 

Now, back to coffee.
With so much enthusiasm about the Black Rifle brand, I might have to try it. Do they have a medium blend?
As it is though, I’ve been off the strong stuff for quite a while and have been stuck on the McCafe’ medium roast. It’s smooth, nutty with a hint of something I can’t quite describe but I love it.
We have 3 coffee grinders and I’ve ground my own coffee for some time but after trying the McCafe’,
the coffee grinders are getting dusty.

 

You know, it would have been easy to skip this thread since you don't actually have any input other than more hate.

 

The Black Rifle coffees are more full-bodied as Ken has stated. I have only tried one but I'm curious about other blends.

My favorite coffee is also McCafe, but it's the French roast in k-cups. I ordered a can of McCafe ground coffee from Amazon but it's on the "no rush" shipping so I'm not sure when it will arrive. I hope it will be as good as the k-cups version so I can stop spending money trying out coffee.

 

It’s funny now but I felt a little devious when we found the cans of McCafe” medium roast at Walmart for $3.00 per can. Devious because I knew there was no way that it would go from $12.something to $3.00 but we got about 6 cans that trip. And I wrote, “that trip” because a couple days later whilst at Walmart, Yvonne checked and yup, 3 beans so she bought up their last 3 or 4 cans knowing that somebody would eventually catch on and the price would have to go back up.

 

Wow, score! On Walmart.com the price for the 29 oz can is $8.94. My husband had to go check on his mom's place because we're having a freeze tonight, so on his way home he's going to stop at Walmart and grab a can.

 

Yeah, I grabbed a cup of coffee after dinner a bit ago and am sitting on the porch feeling the temperature drop. It’s supposed to be around 20 with a wind chill in the teens tonight. I think if I sit out here much longer it’s going to be nearly frozen coffee instead of the hot stuff.
Best of luck on that freeze tonight Beth.

 

Well, my search is over. The McCafe French Roast dark did not disappoint. I will be stocking up on that for use with the Bunn.

@John Brunner -- there has been no "plastic" taste (or any other off-taste) from the new coffee maker. When does yours arrive?

 

There is a good coffee here called Santo Domingo and visitor usually take it back to Canada. I have the coffee truck that supplies the small country stores stops and sell it to me in runs about $3.43 for 16 oz. bag deliver to my door. Living in paradise

 

Is it grown locally, Martin? I remember the Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee from my travels there. (And of course Tim Horton's from CA!!)

Speaking of Tim Horton's.... I found a can of Tim Horton's ground coffee buried in the pantry, probably from our last trip to Canada in 2012 or so. I suspect it needs to be discarded.
