Reference my above post, after Googling Peets Coffee, I found a new Kroger store only a few blocks from me that sells Peets. Yehaaaa!

Community Coffee when I can get it, Eight O'Clock, though I miss the more exotic brands, like Bokar, or Luzianne. I like chicory

I've been trying to find Peet's coffee in Dallas but alas, to no avail.

We tend to buy whole beans and grind right before brewing, and purchase either Wegman's Espresso, Peets French Roast, Dunkin Donuts, or a dark roast Starbucks.

We used to really enjoy Kirkland/Starbucks when we were Costco members.

It does depend on what is on sale at the store. My oldest daughter insists on grinding the beans fresh(since she was a teen no less, she's now 24). She actually has been drinking coffee since she was 2. One of my most embarrassing moments was in a local convenience store. Two elderly women were at the check out when my little 3 year old Katie said in her very loud 3 year old voice "help me to get my coffee Mommy!" Those two old ladies looked at me like I was a criminal! Oh, well. She's taller than me so there goes that theory! So I buy only whole bean. Sometimes Dunkin Donuts or Peet's or Gevalia or Starbucks. Sometimes I do buy coffee beans at Fairway Market or Fresh Market. They both have quite varied choices from all over the world. Consequently, I usually don't get coffee when I eat out. Nothing is quite as good as the coffee my daughter makes each morning before work! A talent, I guess!

Haven't used branded coffee in years. We purchase green beans online (Burmans) roast 2 or 3 days worth at a time and grind every morning in a burr grinder. As another former californian I will say Peets is very good. I will only drink StarBUCKS in an airport if there is no other recourse.

Mostly I use coffee from Monmouth Coffee in London, UK, but that's because either I or my brother is making the trip about once a month.

If I need to pinch hit from the store, Peet's Coffee Major Dickason's Blend.

I actually discontinued drinking coffee, spent too much money on teeth whitening products. I made a switch over to this new shot called Euphorix: www.euphorixusa.com

They're actually based out of NJ @leethebard!

Lately, when I have the time to make French press coffee, I use Illy Cafe espresso that i grind myself.
But, on most weekday mornings when I'm in a rush, I'll use my Lavazza Point cartridge espresso machine. Just push one button and, voila! I have a delicious cup of espresso in seconds.

Probably not a very exciting choice but Folgers has a new "Brazilian blend" that I've been enjoying lately.

Funny,sometimes taste change...as a kid it was always milk and two or three sugars...but for 40 years it's been black, and lately ,one splenda...I wouldn't think of hiding the taste of a premium blend (my Gevalia) with milk!!!!

Fresh coffee works for me. I add a little flavored coffee to a regular blend. Just to give it a little hint of another flavor. Yes, my kids like coffee, with lots of cream or milk.

I love the Costco blends, but I have recently come to love the New England Coffee Co. blends (macadamia nut is the best, I think). Looks like the company is based in Massachusetts, and Stop and Shop sells it all over (of course) New England: Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, etc.

Anybody else try this brand? The beans make a rich coffee, without any bitterness like you sometimes get in other strongly flavored blends.

I love making coffee in the percolator. I hardly ever drink coffee, and never make it at home for myself. I make it when my Mom visits, and I LOVE it when she gives me directions on how to use the percolator. Even though I have been making her coffee, in the same percolator for at least 15 years, she always tells me how to do it.

When I know she will be coming for a visit, I buy 8 o'clock coffee.

Ireland is a great coffee....I used to use it all the time before I switched to Gevalia deliveries...you reminded me ...time to give it another try!!!

Ireland Cofee, The full roast Atlantic City Blend.
If you have ever been to Atlantic City and had coffee in one of the casinos and wondered what it was, in most cases it's probably been Ireland
I get it for my office just plain good stuff

Folgers ... just one cup every morning for activation of spacial awareness only. Never got addicted to coffee like my ex ... She empties a 8-12 cup carafe every morning before work and then usually makes another upon her return.... lol ... and yet caffein never seems to make the list of 'Most Addictive Drugs'.

We recently started using an electric percolator again. They had Cuisinart 12 cup refurbs on Amazon for $13 bucks. I do really like the taste of the coffee. So far have used Chock full of nuts and also found the Melita disk filters at Ace hardware of all places.

Lee....there is just something about watching the coffee bubbling in the glass bulb at the top of the pot.
Plus the Bokar is great...I use a fine grind (at the store) & use Melita disk filters...you end up with quite a hearty brew.

I get mine from my cat, Goober. It's much cheaper. But personally, I think the taste is, crappy.

Now you've got me craving chicory coffee. I think Fred Meyer sells Community here in the Seattle area. I had a flashback to 1979. Went to New Orleans for the first time and stayed at the Maison de Ville. They'd leave a tray at your door with croissants, marmalade, OJ, the Times-Picayune and that wonderful chicory coffee.

Right now I have City Brew Organic Chiapas Mexican
I've usually get City Brew Organic Breakfast Blend or their Northern Lights Blend.

I make my own during the week and treat myself on Sunddays during bible study to a City Brew double shot black and white mocha. It helps the kiosk is right across the street from my church and I buy my beans there too.
