Request: Coffee!

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

By next week's shopping day, we'll be out of the coffee the boys' father brought back from Kenya, so I thought I'd ask any coffee drinkers what they like.

Before my brother in law visited, we just drank instant coffee (Folgers), but he brought 3 bags of Rwandan coffee and it seemed a shame not to try it, so I bought a small cheap coffee maker. But I've never bought ground coffee before and the choices are overwhelming so I thought I'd ask if anyone has favorites or suggestions.

As far as tea, I definitely know what I like! I have started drinking more of it now that it's colder.

I'm an absolute barbarian when it comes to coffee-- I drink it half hot, decaf, cold from yesterday with a splash of (yesterday's) milk, with ice cubes, I don't care. Hence I'm not the right person to ask, sorry! :D

It's okay. If someone did have a preference I'd be keen to try it, but I don't either at the moment.

My favorite coffee for several decades has been Peets (https://www.peets.com/). If you aren't sure what you like, you might try subscribing to their Signature Blend series. Or you could try one each of their dark, medium, and light roasts. I like dark roast best and I usually get Major Dickason's Blend and Organic French Roast.

Oh, good. Yes, actually their bag was the only one that really caught my eye on Wednesday. It was holiday roast and in a bright pink & red bag, but I will give them a try. Good to know. Thank you very much.
