What's the best coffee, in your opinion?
I've always gotten Columbian, but my mother recently recommended French Roast.
And it's shit. It smells great, but it has a terrible taste.

>> No.5889365

Columbia is a growing region.
French Roast is a roasting temperature.
and nevermind whether it's Arabica or Robusta beans.

for all you know you had French Roast Columbian coffee.

Women usually have awful taste in coffee. I have yet to find a woman who really appreciates the flavours of a good coffee roast. Most women I know who claim to like black coffee drink the darkest, most burnt sludge they can find (like Starbucks).

Also, my favourite roast of coffee would probably be Tanzanian Peaberry.

Are you referring to the Columbia Valley AVA? The wine thread is somewhere else. I know they drink a lot of coffee in the pacific northwest but it actually comes from other places.

I have some of this at the minute (there's a cup in front of me) and it's absolutely fantastic.

I think the best coffee I ever had was Rwanda Maraba III Sovu, also the most ridiculously named. It was the coffee that made me realize coffee could be really good. That was years ago now, and I had never had really good coffee prior to it so who knows how it would hold up now.

Ironically, some of the worst coffee I've ever had was in Tanzania - a lot of people seem to just crush beans with a big rock then steep it in water. Fuck awful stuff with grounds the size of gravel in there.

I had some moshi peaberry beans from sainsburys, a little strong for everyday for me. I had the sainsburys nicaraguan blend once, tha shit was good

I normally go for the basic italian blend, cba grinding fresh every morning before uni

Cubano.

Cafe Bustelo is the best coffee you can get in a can and it's better than most whole bean coffees too.

Otherwise, medium roast Sumatra, Java, HBMC (when i have the doremi).

French roast is STRICTLY for Arabia beans french cafe machines and not for amateurs

>genuinely surprised

Apparently you don't shop for coffee much. It's a standard question.

>"I guess I just don't understand why you would spend money on good, local coffee and then not grind it yourself."

Maybe because I stopped at the shop on the way to a family dinner and I agreed to bring the coffee, and grinding it 15 minutes in advance isn't going to make a difference especially since they only have a shitty blade grinder?

>"...haha...I guess I'm just an elitist, then."

No, you just live under a rock.
