For some reason I have hit a flat spot in my coffee selections. I just can't find a decent coffee that I really like. I like a strong, full bodied coffee in the morning, something along the lines of French Roast or expresso type.

I have tried many of the offerings at my local grocery but nothing really hits the mark.

I'm using a percolator, which I like, but I'm open to a new coffee maker. I would rather try to find a ground coffee or grind whole beans first. Of course I don't want to spend my life savings on gourmet coffee, but I'm open to new blends.

What do you like and where can I get it?

Do you enjoy Cuban coffee? Can your cardiovascular system withstand a colada or two or three? https://miamifoodie.wordpress....pe-for-cuban-coffee/ Or use one of this and put the sugar on the top.

Available online.

Peet's is to me, the best coffee one can buy at supermarket prices.

If you want to have some fun, contact member Rainman, who blends and roasts his own custom coffees.

Maybe not strong enough but I like the Kirkland Columbian bean. I grind about 1 1/4oz for eight (8) 5oz cups of coffee.

I recently went through a similar exercise. None of my regular coffee selections were satisfying. I went online and tried some incredibly strong ones, but they didn’t taste good and had so much caffeine that I just shook (I normally drink a little less than 16 oz daily).

I had a German friend introduce me to Jacobs coffe.. Not expensive, and totally delicious. I like the fine grind instead of the more course US ground. For 5$, it’s worth trying.

Get yourself a Technovorm coffee maker. It will make everything taste better.

We get ours at Costco and espresso grind it on the machine in the store. The extremely fine grind is the key for me when using a drip coffee maker, whatever the beans.

After using a percolator for more than a year, I switched to a Bonavita Metropolitan Coffee Maker. The same coffee as before is stronger, more full bodied, and less acidic.

If you have an Aldi's check out the German coffee they sell. It is in foil bricks and I usually find it on an end cap at our two local stores. If I recall there are two different roasts. It is also very reasonably priced.
