Coffee in the coach

[Neal]

I've been loving these coffees I got on Amazon. So much better taste and smoother than the Starbucks k-cup pods. I will grind the beans and use either in a french press, Moccamaster Technivorm drip brewer, or my keurig using a reusable filter I can put the grounds in.

Any other suggestions for coffee similar in flavor, creaminess, etc. I should try? So far I'm glad to have found this Arabica stuff, what a difference in my small world of coffee.

Coffee blends are fine, but we have found them to be inconsistent in flavor and richness from batch to batch. Have you tried any single-source Arabica coffees? "Single-source" meaning not a blend of different type beans.

I don't know what Amazon offers in single-source coffees (haven't checked) but there are quite a few good roasteries that sell directly online. We have been using Fresh Roasted Coffee LLC - Free Shipping Over $35 for some time and are quite satisfied with their products, prices and on-time shipping. (Disclosure; we have no financial interest in FRC or any other coffee roaster.)

Our favorite is Ethiopian Yirgacheffe, but there are quite a few nice single-source coffees out there and we try others from time-to-time just for variety.

Never heard of it, I'll see what I can find. Not smart on coffee obviously.

I went to the link you provided and added your favorite to my cart. Do you see Arabica on their site?

Yirgacheffe is an "Arabica" coffee. Most of the single-source coffees on FRC are Arabica.

Maybe a little background would help. There are three main types of coffee beans; Arabica, Robusta and Liberica. Liberica is as not as commonly found as the other two. These are bean "types," not varieties. Here's a link to a good tutorial in coffee beans.

@TJ&LadyDi I bought a few items from the coffee store you recommended. I'll let you know how it goes when it arrives.

Also remember I mentioned the Honey app? Using it saved me almost $18 off this order as it found and applied coupon codes, it used NPC20.

Okay, this is not a thing, this is a site, well, it's a browser extension. This is a tool that can save you money, A LOT of money! Ya know, like the TSD Fuel Savings program for diesel. I have saved over $1k with this add-in over the past few weeks buying various items including the RVForums...

I just ask DW and she makes the coffee. I can not work the Keurig. No kidding?

When you are flying solo, you don't have that option.

Popular thread! I own the cheapest drip coffee maker I can buy, but put some of the best coffee in it, only Starbucks Verona for me-extra strong. When the decanter breaks or wears out I don’t feel so bad just buying another machine. Have you ever tried to find a replacement decanter?

Me, personally, I use the most high end ingredients you can get. My coleman stove, water and Folgers instant. I have never been one to try a lot of different things so I stick to what I know.

Keurig. If at a truck stop overnight, I will go in and buy theirs.

I'm lazy I guess, so learning to live with my limitations it's the Keurig single cup brewer. Small footprint and fits under the overhead cabinets

For me, coffee's only function is to pull me out of darkness that threatens to keep me from functioning like a normal person. (Even then it's not a certainty ) So I keep it as simple as possible.

I found this handy, 1 cup brewer on Amazon and it's been doing the job admirably now for the last year or so.

Coffee is like air. Gottahavitt. The darker, the better. Usually Seattle's Best Coffee.

Cheapo drip coffee maker. I think this one is a Krups.

Happy my week supply of coffee arrived today!
