This Is Coffee - 1961

[whirlcool]

We use a gold filter in our Cuisinart coffee pot. No paper filters to screw around with at all. After using this filter for several years we certainly can taste the "filter taste" in any coffee that has been brewed using a paper filter. The Sunbeam vacuum pots with their cloth filters do not do this.

We usually buy our coffee from an independent coffee roasting shop locally. Their coffees are the best I have ever tasted. But last month we bought some 8 o'clock coffee (medium roast) and a bad of Dunkin Doughnuts coffee (both whole bean)and found them both to be good, with a slight preference to the Dunkin Doughnuts coffee. But at $6.99 a lb, it's almost as expensive as the local coffee we buy in the coffee shop.

8 O'clock Original

and 8 O'clock Columbian are my daily coffees, though when I get to the city, I like to pick up a few bags of whole bean from a coffee shop that I like.

There's also a coffee shop in Indiana, PA, not far from me in the great scheme of things, that I really want to try. Unfortunately, every time that I am down that way, I forget to drop in.

I used the gold filter for many years, and then a couple of years ago, for some reason which escapes me now, I switched over to paper filters for drip, and have pretty much stuck with them. I'm guessing that it had to do with one less thing to wash.
