Coffee - Your Current Brew

[ripcord]

I'm getting frustrated with finding a decent coffee. We do like darker brews. I'll buy something from Peets, Whole foods, San Francisco Bay, Volcanica even some fancy Hawaiian Kona Earth @ $59 a pound. Ask my wife if this is the one and she just says it's OK.

I don't know if I'll ever find "the right one" for her. Any suggestion on what I should try next?

Get Mrs. Picky a bottle of Starbucks White Chocolate Mocha Coffee Creamer to put in it. She won't even taste the coffee anymore. It will be a lot less than $59 a pound, lol.

Gonna go out on a limb here and wonder, if the problem is in the coffee maker and not in the beans?

You get a good coffee machine and it's a noticeable difference in flavor. And if you have a good drip machine then maybe it's time to step up and replace your drip coffee with americanos.

I spent more and more money on coffee machines and witnessed my wife's happiness level go up and up around the 5:30-6:00am timeframe every day. True story!!! Bonus is that I get to drink the coffee too.

How do you make your coffee? If you use a typical coffee maker, the cone type make stronger and better tasting coffee with the same amount as a flat basket does.

A Moccamaster and a Baratza Encore grinder will likely resolve his problems.

We use a cone filter and grind our beans every morning.
