Coffee Suggestions

[mattiooo]

I've been drinking the same coffee here at work for 7 years. Admittedly, they made a huge improvement 4 years ago with a new coffee service. But after 4 years of that it's tired.

I'm going to set up a little coffee bar in my office with a 12 cup coffee maker, a grinder, etc and provide a variety of coffee to people. I'm going to keep rotating, one bag at a time. I'm going to start with a pound of Black Rifle coffee, but I need to get a list going so I can be ready when the bag runs low.

What are some of your favorite coffees that I get one pound bags of?

I occasionally pick up varietals in one pound bags from local roasters like Mission Roasters and Umpire Estate but you may have some micro-roasters closer to you. I also like to get 2.5-3 pound bags at Sam's Club, usually of their more varietal types with the toucan on the vacuum bag.

Everyone's tastes are different but here are a few of my favorites.

Boyer's Rocky Mountain Thunder

Green Mountain's Nantucket Blend

Community's Coffee and Chicory (kind of an acquired taste)

Dazbog's Sumatra

Thanks!

Exactly why I want to do a different bag everytime. Thanks for all the suggestions.


Keep them coming. This is exactly what I was hoping for.

Been a fan of their Guatemalan for a while.

We liked Starbucks stuff, but it is too expensive to drink exclusively.

If you really want to mix it up, get some black tea bags at least once. Black tea with coffee creamer is a great substitute if you're looking for a change. Also, during holiday season I like to sprinkle some cayenne pepper on the fresh grounds before brewing. Use just enough so you can see it; I'm talking literally a single finger tap. This gives the coffee a nice bite, but after a week of doing so you'll be ready for a change.

Boyer's is roasted locally. I get the whole bean coffee at Sam's. The better half and I both like the Breakfast Blend and that gets run through our burr grinder just before going into the coffee maker. Tasty stuff. I've also had their Rocky Mtn. Thunder, Kona Blend, and Denver Blend.

Trying to switch coffees frequently can be a PITA if you're using a high quality grinder.

Anything Black Rifle Coffee Company.

I don't like super strong coffee, so I usually get their Silencer Smooth.

Somehow I managed to read your post and not see that you are already getting some from them.

Just a note on the lighter, medium, dark roasts: lighter roasts have a higher caffeine content.

Interesting.

Bonus for those of us that like lighter roasted coffee!
