I rarely get to make my own coffee...but here's the basic idea
* Use only arabica beans; burr grind if necessary.
* Brew in a drip coffeemaker with a paper filter. (Sorry percolator fans.)
* Serve black.

Okay, this thread is reminding me of the time I was in line at the supermarket behind a cowboy. A real cowboy with dirt permanently ground into his callused hands, not just some joker in jeans and a hat.
Oh, and hot. Or is "hot cowboy" redundant?
Anyway, I was checking through his load of stuff on the conveyor belt--meat, cereal, fruit, nothing unusual. Until I looked at the very end; six (six!) pints of hazelnut-flavored coffee creamer.
Huh?
Do he and his buddies sit around the campfire of an evening celebrating the moments of their lives?
"That waiter!"
"Jean-Claude...!"
This was years before Brokeback Mountain, mind you.
Why am I telling this story? Dunno. Just that it made an impression on me.

I'm putting cinnamon and Maxwell House into the Brew Sta
In my drip-maker, I have to put the cinnamon in the pot itself. Seems that it clogged the filter and didn't let the coffee through.
Weird, huh?

Starbucks haters
A big Archie Bunker style RASPBERRY to you all!
Starbucks rocks and does not taste like cigarettes.
Go Golittlesport! SB House blend whole bean, the stuff.

We buy the Meridian coffee beans at Costco. I think they're the same as Starbucks, anyways they make a very good dark coffee. If and when we run out of those occasionally I'll just go to the grocery and buy some whole beans out of those dispenser things,, mixing up a little columbian and a some french roast.
I brew SF Bay brand Columbian coffee from freshly burr-ground beans. This brand is located in my home town so the roast is a recent vintage. I've compared it with Starbuck's House Blend and prefer the SF Bay product.
I like real hazelnuts (filberts) but I find the hazelnut flavored creamer or coffee to be overpowering. I usually refer to it as toxic waste ;-)
I used to need milk or creamer in my coffee, but weaned myself off that. Most of the time I just add a teaspoon of Mexican Zulka brand Azucar Morena turbinado style pale amber sugar per cup of coffee.

Now that's a mouthful! Do I dare say what's wrong with a couple spoons full of regular old white sugar? Just Kidding, that could probably get a whole other thread going!!

It seems that Colombian coffee is said to smell/taste like cigarettes by the foolish ;-). It's a bold taste that when brewed properly is a joy. When not, it tastes like "donkey sh*t" as my dad would say.
Arabica coffee doesn't have that "ashtray" taste. It's a smooth taste. Mello Joy and Community Coffee is Arabica.

The costco near me in Atlanta roasts their own coffee. It is absolutely delish. Unfortunately they don't do it everywhere (or in every city).
I do prefer local branded coffee...right now I'm drinking Cain's from Oklahoma City...the dollar stores in Detroit seem to have it by the truckload.
Growing up in St. Louis...we had some cool local brands...Old Judge, Manhattan and the best....Tiger (whose spokesman was Dana Brown (as I recall) from the St. Louis Zoo). Every night on the 6 PM news on Channel 4 they sponsored the weather...
...Super-rich Safari coffee in every Tiger can...super rich Tiger coffee in every Safari can.
