Coffee questions

[Luv 2 Float]

Believe it or not, some of the best coffee I've had out was at Waffle House - they grind the beans just before brewing and it's always fresh and STRONG!!!

Community can be purchased at Walmart, but nowhere around Erie, PA! :(

 

Eight O'Clock, which was rated #1 just recently in taste tests, can be purchased in the Northeast at Giant Eagle...:)

 

My favorite from Limon, is from the Golden Bean Coffee factory... We did a tour to the factory, and learned many things..!!

Their 'dark roast' is WONDERFUL!!!:D And they ship 'by the case'...;)

[renalrn]

GREAT! Now I have to try a different coffee... :rolleyes:

 

Have liked Eight O'Clock since my days at the A & P in Pittsburgh years (many) ago...:);)

I used to loooove eight o clock but I really think that they changed it since 25 years ago when it kept me awake through nursing school in "Dreary Erie",PA.!

I urge you to try community coffee..the best!

-By the way, no more A&P???

OK, OK... I'll 'give it a try'! Gotta' find the website again..!:rolleyes::p

 

We've missed you in Erie since you left.. Hope you weren't mad at us when you went to Texas... :);)

If you do not find Community Coffee locally... you can try their website. We prefer their Cafe' Especial. It is like their Hotel Blend but to us a little more dark roast flavor .

That is where I was gonna' look.. ;) I actually placed an order with them! :) Pretty inexpensive at that!!:D

Awwww....I miss everyone in Erie too. When Lou Tulio left I had to leave! (just kidding).

When I graduated nursing school it was a cold Frebruary night, snow up to my car roof. I left almost immediately to South Florida where it took 10 years to thaw out. I do miss Palakos (did I spell this right?) chocolates, the fall leaves and vineyards, my Polish relatives home cooking. Hope that you enjoy your coffee!

I'm thinking $1.25/$1.50 for a cup of strong, black coffee at the Expresso Bar... And its much better than anything else you will find on the ship.. (There was also a 'coffee bar' at the corner of the Lido Buffet on the Freedom in December, but I usually had a belly full of eggs/bacon by then, and regular java was OK by that time...);)

 

Room service coffee by the pot is OK... Worked for me...:D

 

ps: Recent taste tests verify that Eight O'Clock Coffee came out on top .. So much for Starbucks and Dunkin' Donuts..:eek::p

 

I don't know who participated in the taste tests, but I rate most bands of Starbucks better than Eight O' Clock and Dunkin Donuts. I like strong coffee and enjoy the Princess coffee card and the coffee machines on NCL.

 

If I'm on a different ship, I normally will bring my own coffee and use a Melitta one cup pour-through coffee maker to make my coffee. I use the hot water at the coffee bar. You would be surprised at the number of people who offered to buy my coffee maker after drinking the ship's coffee.

A&P merged with Borman Foods a number of years ago.

 

I do not know about the rest of the country, but all of the Michigan stores (operated under the Farmer Jack nameplate) closed about a year or two ago.

Pulako's, I believe... :) Rec'd my shipment from Community...!:p

 

Cafe Especial is quite good, tho' I could only buy that 'ground'.. Will use that up, then 'grind as I go' for the other two blends that I purchased!! Thanks for the advice.. Quite happy with my purchase!;)

 

A Melitta.. Hmmmm.m.m.m.... Off to 'google' it...:D

[BullDogChief]

I bet they didn't test Comminuty Coffee from Baton Rouge, LA...:p

 

Tell me about it...Community Dark Roast is da bomb! :D

 

You know, I had coffee from (brace yourselves....) McDonald's the other day, and it was actually quite good! I was very pleasantly surprised.

 

Hubby likes me to buy Free Trade coffees; that's why I get Kirkland beans. But I like many different kinds. WaWa's is a favorite when I am on the go.

 

WaWa Coffee is a great deal! When we lived in Virginia Beach we had a WaWa right down the road from us...there was nothing better than WaWa coffee and a hot pretzel! :D

 

Right on! Community coffee is the best ever (next to the beans that I roast). I particularly like their "hotel blend", hard to find but I did find it at Walmart.:p

 

The Dark Roast is my personal favorite...ever since we came back south it is all we brew...:D

[ADD Boy]

Has anyone ever brought their own little 4 cup coffee maker with them?

[kyrisong1]

my personal favorite is Oro expresso beans, unfortunately I drank all I had, now I need a trip to Costa Rica to get more :D;):D

Sounds like a job for SUPER MIRACLE!!!

I agree for coffee in the US, Community dark roast is good.

A Melitta.. Hmmmm.m.m.m.... Off to 'google' it...

Hampton Inns have started to replace the in-room coffee pots with devices similar to the Melitta pod brewer.

It is seriously crossing my mind for this June...!:) I think I may be spoiled with this Community 'Dark Roast'!:p:D

I use the "Ready Set Joe Filter Cone" and my own travel cup. I don't use their coffee, I'm hooked on Starbuck.

That's funny....:) I was just on ebay looking for 'Melitta' and saw the 'Ready Set Joe' for sale.. :p

 

I think I (you) may have solved my dilemma.. Thanks.. :D

[SuzieQK]

gotta weigh in about Community coffee. I have been buying it from their online site since 1997. I got hooked when we visited New Orleans. I love love love their New Orleans blend with chickory. And about a year ago they started with the individual pods that I can use in my Senseo machine.I suggest everyone trying Community Coffee just once and you will love it too!

if they did it would have been a different outcome! :p :D

We liked WaWa coffee in the mornings when we lived in VaBeach, I tried McD's coffee the other morning and while it was a lot better than the past, it still wasn't that good, just my opinion ;), the coffee bar on the ship has good cappucino and it is definitely free in the dining room!! :D
