Really good coffee?
#31
There are two main kinds of coffee beans - Arabica and Robusta.The BIG name brands in the plastic containers (MH, Folger's) are usually Robusta which is not as good (more bitter). Look for 100% Arabica.
I also have only one cup a day, so I want it to be good. I never get the stuff in the big plastic containers (although they are great for storing stuff!!) - I usually get something in an 11-oz bag.

When I had to switch to decaf I didn't like our local coffee (Community). I switched to Folger's decaf and loved it. I do add an extra scoop to the basket. I drink coffee without sugar or cream so it's gotta taste good.

I love Jamaica mt blue too not the blend I buy in online pretty expensive but oh so good. I also really like costa Rican coffee. Both of those you can get a strong full flavor without the biterness from over roasted beans.

Like everything else lately, I believe the coffee companies are skimping on the flavorful beans and blending in chicory.....I have a Keurig now, since I am alone. Sometimes I will splurge and buy the kind made for the K, but most of the time I use regular coffee and put it into one of those baskets that are sold now for the one-cuppers, but I add one shake of salt in it.....don't know what, but brings out the flavor better.....usually folgers is my choice of brands.
