Maxwell House or Folgers
 

What is the best generic or common man's coffee?

Re: Maxwell House or Folgers
 

I buy Dukin Dounuts coffee

Re: Maxwell House or Folgers
 

I saw that in the store the other day. I might need to try some

Re: Maxwell House or Folgers
 

Maxwell Hoese SUX BALLZ.

IMHO, of course.

Re: Maxwell House or Folgers
 

Of the canned supermarket stuff, I think Eight O'clock coffee is fairly decent. I can't stand Folgers.

Re: Maxwell House or Folgers
 

I love Folgers!

I dump out the coffee in the trash and use the can to pick up brass at the range.

Maxwell House or Folgers?

Thats like saying, "would you prefer jail rape or watching something with Debra Messing in it?"

LOL

ATL

Re: Maxwell House or Folgers
 

LOL...good idea on the brass at the firing range

Re: Maxwell House or Folgers
 

Folgers gives me immediate and critical heartburn.
I drink Maxwell House Lite as a rule. Today Kerri made some kinda Starbucks African stuff. It was good, but I'd just as soon have Maxwell House. :tu

Re: Maxwell House or Folgers
 

I drink Maxwell House on a daily/morning basis. I think most people make shitty drip coffee because of their coffee proportions, water and machine. I use good proportions, filtered water and a decent machine and get regular compliments on my coffee. It's just $5.99 Maxwell House. When I have time and am making coffee for ME, I grind fresh coffee and use one of my Moka Pots.

Re: Maxwell House or Folgers
 

The Eight O'Clock Coffee is pretty good if you buy the whole beans and grind your own.

For a local brand in the south, some of the Community Coffee blends are decent and Luzianne makes a good medium roast.

If you're in the French Quarter though you have to go to Cafe du Monde and have some of their French Market Coffee.

Re: Maxwell House or Folgers
 

Folgers at home and Maxwell House in the office. I prefer Folgers.

Re: Maxwell House or Folgers
 

Folgers is what I brew not the best but after it sits in a thermos for a while they all taste bad

Re: Maxwell House or Folgers
 

Is the choice of these based on budget?
If so, check what coffee guru says are the top budget coffees

Re: Maxwell House or Folgers
 

I think she's kinda cute, I'll take Debra, you can keep your jail rape AND tin-can coffee :D

Re: Maxwell House or Folgers
 

Bunch of coffee snobs.

You want bad coffee? The worst coffee I ever had was anything every made on the icebreaker I was stationed on. The mess deck had these two huge coffee pots (5 gallons each, I think) and no matter how hard they tried to clean the pots or what coffee they used, it sucked and usually had like a 1/8 inch oil floating on top. I used to accuse the cooks of cleaning the pots with diesel fuel.

After drinking that stuff for two years, anything made in a clean pot tasted good. (With the exception of the perverse coffee/chickory crap they sell down here.)

Re: Maxwell House or Folgers
 

I'm personally a starbucks guy. I buy it at the store so not as expensive.

Re: Maxwell House or Folgers
 

If I must slum it, I go with CdM. I've been known to pack my own Bialetti and pre-ground coffee for long family trips where the expectation is Folgers, Maxwell, etc every morning. When I'm on vacation, I just can't do that to myself :r

Re: Maxwell House or Folgers
 

The coffee in my house is Maxwell House.

Re: Maxwell House or Folgers
 

Maxwell House or Folgers?

I'll take "What would I enjoy less than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick" for 500, Alex.

8 o'clock Columbian is OK for cheap coffee .. Yuban is better than either of those two noted above and can be had at WM reasonably priced although not as cheap as the other 2 noted above.

Re: Maxwell House or Folgers
 

Why do you consider Yuban to be a good coffee. I might pick some up this weekend.

Re: Maxwell House or Folgers
 

Eight O'Clock.

Re: Maxwell House or Folgers
 

Folgers

Re: Maxwell House or Folgers
 

Yuban isn't half bad, it's the only tin can stuff I have experience with

Re: Maxwell House or Folgers
 

Folgers here:)

Re: Maxwell House or Folgers
 

If I had too it would be Maxwell House for me.

Re: Maxwell House or Folgers
 

Don francisco not bad for canned.

Re: Maxwell House or Folgers
 

...or saw dust or dryer lint.

Re: Maxwell House or Folgers
 

Anyone had Bocca Java coffee?

Re: Maxwell House or Folgers
 

Oh, I didn't say it was good coffee, I said it was better than Folgers or Maxwell house :-). Lets put it this way, I can drink Yuban from a freshly opened can ... I find Folgers and Maxwell House to be terrible.

Re: Maxwell House or Folgers
 

Tombstone and SeanGar... a couple o' grizzled old cowpoke avatars hashing out the coffee situation around a campfire... Hard to find an image that makes a cow more nervous. I'm outta here.

Starbucks Pike Place roast, freshly ground Mmmmmmm

I used to like Hill Bros. 100% Columbian in my Bunn before I discovered the French press and fresh ground.
Never cared for MH or Folgers.

Re: Maxwell House or Folgers
 

We are a Maxwell house but the wife doctors it up......her coffee rules!!

Re: Maxwell House or Folgers
 

I like them both:confused:

Re: Maxwell House or Folgers
 

That's a lot to pay for that little bag. I think it was $7 at my Kroger. Or do you get it cheaper somewhere else?

Re: Maxwell House or Folgers
 

Re: Maxwell House or Folgers
 

We drink Folgers here at work. It is cheap at Costco.

Re: Maxwell House or Folgers
 

Community Dark Roast is my everyday.

Re: Maxwell House or Folgers
 

I'll take either of those over the coffee at work. It's called McGregor's Gourmet Blend or somesuch. In other words, it's the Sav-A-Lot store brand. It's absolutely horrid. I watch security cameras in a dim, windowless room, so I drank it because the wretched stomach cramps it delivers almost instantly keep me awake. But it made me crap blood, so I decided drinking lots of water and holding my pee for hours was slightly preferrable. For a drink with over 500 carcinogens in every cup, I figure I might as well, at the very least, slightly enjoy it.

I can enjoy a cup of Folger's or Maxwell House purdy'd up with lots of cream n' sugar and made correctly in a fair-quality machine. McGregor taught me a valuable lesson in appreciating what you've got...

Re: Maxwell House or Folgers
 

I think they are both good. Usually go with what is cheaper at the time.

Its amazing how sexy it can seem to be a coffee drinker after reading that post :)

I like Archer Farms Organic coffee for my house. For lattes, Starbucks.

We are getting Lavazza Coffee and Espresso for the lounge (its my favorite).

Re: Maxwell House or Folgers
 

Ditto on this,,was really surprised about this brand as I felt the need for coffee one day as fast I could get it and lo and behold I was near a Dunkin Donuts,,give me 6 glazed donuts and a large coffee,,,,wow, pretty good!

Re: Maxwell House or Folgers
 

I saw some show one time on PBS . . . "America's Test Kitchen" I believe was the name. They tested various coffees and 8 O'Clock came out on top I believe.

Awful just awful coffee when you buy it at the supermarket. For some reason, coffee in an actual Dunkin Donuts store is way better and has more flavor. The stuff at the supermarket is extremely bland and flavorless.

Re: Maxwell House or Folgers
 

HHHHmmmmm! Maxwell House in the pot, but Folger's Instant(like a teabag) for work! Quick and easy!

Re: Maxwell House or Folgers
 

The best common mans coffee is .... TA DAA! Homeroasted 100% arabica Costa Rican Tarrazu.

The rest of this stuff is just too.... ick.

Re: Maxwell House or Folgers
 

How ironic! I just picked up a pound of that today as it was coming out of the roaster. The bad was still warm and that was nice on this frigid day.

Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Simple Man" was on the radio as I pulled away....

Re: Maxwell House or Folgers
 

Kroger brand coffee or Millstone flavored coffee.
