Condaxis coffee. It's brewed locally and it's fresh and aromatic. Colombian is my daily cup of joe.

I've had coffee that was served in cafes in Paris and Vienna to cups of joe handed to me at a McDonald's drive-through. At home we try beans from all over the world and experiment with drip, French press, and old style percolator methods to make a cup. Some were quite good while others were horrible. After all that I almost hate to admit the consistently best coffee I've had comes from Tim Horton's. Iceback coffee, whodathunkit?

View Quote There's a local, very pretentious craft coffee house down the highway from me. A cup is like $6.00, but you can bring your own mug and they'll fill it with the same stuff for like 75 cents. Woman owned business so obviously no mathematics was done. Anyway, my $6.00/giant can Folgers is better tasting coffee. |

there is not one variety or brand that is always awesome. One of the most important details is how fresh it is. It is bland the first couple days after roasting, then pretty awesome for a week, then in decline.

At the now defunct Rt 299 Diner in New Paltz, NY. they used to clean the big pots after every brew.
Nothing beats good diner coffee in a buffalo china mug. Otherwise it was every cappuccino or espressoI consumed while i was stationed in Italy. |

Either the stuff in Milan or the stuff I had in a little village in the shadow of Popocatépetl outside of Mexico City.

Costco-Sumatra Dark Roast. They only have it once in a while. That stuff is liquid Crack.

Lived and worked from Puerto Rico for a few years. Most of the coffee was great. Tasted like half espresso and half strong coffee..
Blue Mountain - Jamaica Switched from Starbucks to Pete's about 15 yrs ago. |

Best coffee’s I ever had are near non existent in the open market and only came in extremely limited amounts. Most likely never to be widely available.
Broad generalization. Sumatra, Java, Vietnam, Brazil, India, some Caribbean. Had access for a few years to samplings from thee go to guy in roasting at the time. The guy that uses mass spectrometry to define the perfect temperature and roasting time for individual lots of raw beans. The go to guy for roasting machines and roasting profiles nearly all the big manufacturers use. Never met him don’t even know the company. He and my previous boss apparently hit it off over being Wine nuts and for several years we would get 8-10 3lb bags of various coffees from around the world. Explained to me as: full export size bags of raw beans from all over the world get sent to this guy in Nevada. He only needs a few pounds to get the roasting profile. Roasts some of the excess to give to his friends to try. Yearly changes in rain fall or drought means the roasting profiles change. So a never ending supply shows up every year. Plus the big manufacturers need taste consistency for the large plantations so he is constantly re testing and tweeking so the Starbucks .?? Taste is the same every year. I never realized the complexity was much like making fine wine. |

Berres Brothers Highlander Grog, with some hazelnut creamer. Absolutely delightful.

Well, I just got home from a month vacation in Panama, so I do have a dog in this hunt.
High altitude coffees, grown in Boquete Panama are my favorites. Specifically Don Pepe Estates, Bourbon and secondly their Java. Their Geisha is a high dollar award winner, however Im not a huge fan. They are both bold, dark, but the Java does include some floral notes with a little citrus. I don't know what I will do when I run out... |

Mid 1970's coffee from Castillo Blanco. Throw in their cellophane wrapped cheese danish and I'm Kool and the Gang.

Cafe Cubano served from a nondescript window on the street in Miami.
It's life changing. |

Maxwell house
But it was from an old thermos and while I was hunting with my dad. |

Kona coffee. I stayed at a house on the mountainside (AirBnb) back in 2017 and the owners produced their own coffee. I can't remember the name (might have been something like Evett's Mill). I was excited because they had a 50 pound bag decorating the wall, but I asked and they said they don't produce that much any more - just enough to stock their rental properties and their own kitchen. Sadly, they said the best place to get 100% Kona was Walmart (best selection and prices), so I did. I've had a few different brands since then, and while they're all great they aren't quite as good as my first taste.

View Quote Mostly because the “Kona” at Walmart is blended(as little as 10%) or it’s not really Kona(There have been many people found selling fake Kona coffee). If you want the real deal, go online and buy it directly from a roaster in Hawaii. The fore mentioned Big Island Coffee Roasters is a legit source, as are the websites of the actual estates that produce Kona. It’s not cheap and totally worth it. |

The Angus Barn in Raliegh, NC, if they still sell it.
Expensive, but well worth it. In Argentina it was Café Con Leche made with Brazilian coffee with no chickory. |

Quoted: this was the best ever bullf-16 Roasted that for me https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/222783/20201023_16321-2221610.jpg it was so very good View Quote This right here. I roast my own beans a lot and this one is exactly the bean and the roast I prefer personally but if OP isn't into dark roasts it isn't the best choice of bean (IMHO) |

Coffee people's Sumatra med roast. Holy sex in a cup, was silky with a buttery mouth feel and fruity. Until starfucks bought them out and fucked it all up.
Trader joe' single estate east Timor. |

Probably some Ethiopian harrar hambela beans I roasted myself, is I think the best tasting I've had.

Ethiopia. Came in kg bags, and the coffee is brewed in a particular kettle, called a jebena

Crazy enough it was folgers made with crystal clear river water.
Boiled in a tin coffee can. Was the best I had in a long long time. |

The Asian lady at the McDonald’s near my old work made the best coffee. Two cream, no sugar. All other coffee sux ass.

A client of mine married a woman from the Philippines. This is the type of prized coffee they drink.
Recycled through a Civit for $200 a pound. He says there is nothing like it. https://www.kayakopi.com/kaya-kopi-luwak-16-ounce?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI77rclcaM9QIVQciUCR3iLQT2EAQYBSABEgJOqfD_BwE |
