But now and then we treat ourselves to something a notch or two up. This is whole bean and the dreaded Starbucks. Why Starbucks? Because Safeway had it on special at less than the Folgers or Yuban. Yesterday when we went shopping Walmart Grocery had some ground Starbucks Verona on a clearance rack, $6 for an 18 oz bag, which is less per oz. than the Yuban or Folgers.

Alpo Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Why? Is it nasty coffee? Or is Yuban one of them businesses that we should not support, like Levi? It being nasty coffee would of course be your opinion. I happen to like the flavor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It being nasty coffee would of course be your opinion. I happen to like the flavor. I can't tell much difference between equivalent roasts of the two and so buy whichever is less expensive at the time. Walmart used to sell a house brand "Dark roast, 100% Arabica" that we thought was very good, better than Folgers or Yuban. And about 2/3 the price. Haven't seen it in years. Two brands I won't buy are Maxwell House and Dunkin Donuts. I've tried both a couple of times and always ended up throwing them out after making a couple of pots.

Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Nobody's mentioned Arbuckle's yet.... "The Yuban brand (sometimes Yule brand) was John Arbuckle's name for his personal mix of fresh coffees for Christmas gifts. In 1935, Arbuckle Brothers Company, the first merchant to sell packaged coffee, was merged with Maxwell House*." *Good To the Last Drop 'Tain't nuthin' wrong with Yuban. When asked how I like my coffee, I have long responded with "Strong enough to float a horseshoe, hot enough to make it wilt, and if there are still a few crumbs of road apple clinging to that there horseshoe, well... it'll just add to the flavor."

Chantry Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I like Ethiopian Yirgacheffe coffee and will grind the beans. Of course when it is winter I can just step outside into the 30 degree weather and 10-15 mph winds and I'm awake instantly, without needing coffee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Farmer Brothers. Usually found in restaurants. I followed one of their truck all over to find out where to get it. One word answer: Amazon. Also Community Signature Blend. Just a touch of chicory, but if they hadn't told me I'd never have noticed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpo Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 My daughter went to Ethiopia as a missionary. When she returned she brought me some coffee. Apparently coffee is THE THING in Ethiopia. Tasted like it had black pepper in it. Spicy. Had a bite. I didn't like it. I like my coffee to taste like coffee. Somebody up the thread talked about a coffee that had "notes of chocolate and lime" - I don't want chocolate and lime in my coffee. I want coffee in my coffee. The closest I ever get to having a flavor in my coffee is once in a great while I will put some Baileys in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can probably find similar tasters notes about whatever your favorite brew is, "evocative of smoky bitter chocolate and salted caramel with a citrus finish" or some such. All part of what makes coffee taste like coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
