    I usually alternate between Peet's & Starbucks coffee but just rediscovered Nescafe & enjoy it as well in the morning.

    My son recommended this brand and sent me a bag of beans. I'm not usually a "breakfast blend" person but this is actually pretty good; very smooth. Marques De Paiva, Rainforest Alliance Certified (whatever that means) and 100% arabica.

    Hey @John Brunner ... how's the coffee tasting these days? Any improvement?

    You know, not really. I have not messed with my Breville since my initial experiments.

    My dentist said he was no fungal infections that might cause such an issue. I do have one tooth whose old metal filling has brokeing part of the tooth away. He said nothing about that being a factor.

    My existing coffee is OK but not real good...the Cuisinart grinder has changed that variable for me. I keep thinking of trying the Breville again with some of the high-end coffee I bought...I just haven't bothered, for no particular reason.

    It's weird that this all started when I got that Breville and brewed the stronger coffee with it.

    Well now see... the problem is that you're making coffee in a toaster oven. :D:D:D

    Yur-EE-ka!!! That explains why the circuit breaker keeps tripping!

    You can tell what I've been messing with a lot, huh? Burger buns, pizza, lemon bars...all in the Breville.

    Maybe I'm trying to put that Bonavita out of my mind.
    It's still on the counter...mocking me. So tasteless...

    I’m still drinking Dunkin’ original, bean or ground.

    Dunkin' is my favorite on-the-road coffee.

    So a side-effect of chemotherapy is that it makes things taste weird. (You can see where this is going.) Even water has a "metallic" taste and I'm supposed to drink 2-3 liters of water a day. So sadly, coffee is no longer a highlight of my day. :( I just dumped out a cup I made that just sat and got cold. It's a sad day, people.

    I'm running low, so I have ordered some more coffee. I've never tried either of these before.

    I’ve tried the coffee on the right, illy, both in Italy and Oklahoma. For whatever reason I wasn’t impressed.
    The one I bought in Italy was dry, and I thought old. The one given me here made weak coffee. I hope
    you have a better experience.
