I want to start a coffee shop and this would be a big help.

I am wondering if you are referring to ones from Spain or Mexico? I was curious and purchased the Pilon Bean coffee, unfortunately it was a very HARD bean to grind, I ruined my costly grinder and was rather upset. I have purchased coffee from spain and Mexico, and found them to be just as diverse as others. Oh and Peets coffee brand is the ONLY one I buy at grocery or retail stores. There are several brands mentioned here I haven't tried, but I will certainly give them a shot. I apologies as I forgot to comment on the Spanish coffee’s.

I only drink coffee I brew myself, I use distilled water which is a must, you will immediately notice a difference. Tanzania Peaberry, Ethiopian and coffee's grown at high altitudes in volcanic rich soil are simply WOW. I highly recommend Trader Joes for pricing and variety, from shade grown, to rare blends its a great way to teach your pallet the differences, you will be amazed at how quickly you learn. Maxwell House, Folders, Chock full-o-nuts, Yuban the list goes on are simply weak excuses for real coffee IMO. Also if you are a blond and sweet (cream and sugar) drinker like me, my advice is to ONLY use quality cream or half and half, and quality sugar if your going to drink fine coffee's. There is a symmetry between the oil of the bean and cream that is superb. I use white cane sugar as to not disrupt the taste of the coffee with molasses rich sugars. I use to be a Yuban and powdered creamer type, all of what I am now is due to Trader Joes. Evolution Baby! As for all the boo hoo profanity whiners, GROW UP. The word bastard is not classified as profanity, as are many other words which one might think are profane..Teacher needs to do her homework.

I intend to give them a try. At the expense of being booed out of the forum, I'm going to recommend another commercial coffee that I find very good- Dunkin Donuts Original whole bean. Good stuff.

We later discovered Wal Mart's pure Arabica (about same price or cheaper), and were really surprised at how good it is. Give it a try. If you liked McDaniel's, I'm sure you won't be disappointed. It's a great everyday coffee. Maybe not for the upper end afficianado, but just plain good for us average coffee drinkers. If you do feel like splurging, try Jamaican Blue Mountain. Shelley,

It is marketed by Sav-a-Lot stores and costs less than a dollar a pound. I heard a coffee buyer on NPR a couple of years ago talking about the quality of coffee. Most major brands, because they need volume and consistency, buy a "B" grade coffee. The "A" grade coffees are generally passed by due to limited and variable supplies, and it is these coffees that are purchased to make the less expensive brands. Ironic.

I don't care if the coffee is Lauk, Blue Mtn or Aussie. If it's been roasted and sitting around for weeks, it is going to taste pretty bad. I also agree with the 1st comment, I like your site, but I think trying to contain the profanity would be good. Thanks Mexican coffee is good stuff…better fresh roasted.
