I really like Peet's coffee. In general, I've found the secret to good coffee is just a small pinch of salt. Sounds strange, but it makes all the difference.
$2 for a regular cup of coffee seems a little stiff. I can see it for a latte or something like that. I would split the difference and sell and "upper scale" coffee for a dollar. Might not even want to do 12 oz. That's a big cup of coffee. A normal cup is about 6 oz.

I like strong coffee, and I drink it black. I hate bitter coffee. I like a dark Columbian. Water quality is a true thing, ScottF, and once it is brewed, don't leave it on the warmer too long.
And forget that moo-latte-double-crap-flavour-stinkin'-frapachino-garbage ------ It AIN'T coffee!

You dont like dark roasted???
I love French Roast....about near as dark as you can get it. I see at least one of us has good taste in coffee. A big cup of Starbucks Frnch Roast first thing in the morning gets me jump started. Paul B.

I like coffee that has aroma. What I mean is, you've got to smell it first. Then the flavor has got to be richer than the aroma. How I achieve this is to use Folger's Reg Grind. Four- five heapers in the bottom of the bodum and add boiling water, compress and serve. Seems to me that the cheaper the coffee, and then more of it, the better the aroma/flavor. Of course, you can go overboard. And as usual, ymmv.
The things that come to those that wait may be the things left by those who got there first.

Funny observation. I'll be 44 in a couple months. Growing up, my dad was the only adult I knew that didn't drink coffee. It was at the center of every social (non-drinking) event I was at growing up, and adults had coffee with every meal. It seems to me not nearly as many people my age and younger drink coffee... or at least not as seriously.
I aquired a little taste for coffee in my very late teens. I've never paid for a Starbucks coffee and have no plans to (although the pro-carry situation might make me consider patronizing them once). That being said, my wife doesn't drink coffee and I don't drink enough to warrant buying a brewing pot, so I drink a cup or two of instant Maxwell House per day, and usually only in cool to cold weather. On the road, prefer Burger King's cup of Joe, or Pilot's House brand.
Short answer, my tastes lean towards the basic stuff, done right.

Just a good cup of coffee, not interested in the "gourmet" stuff at all. A good Columbian or the run of the mill whatever they use at Mickey-D's, Circle K kind. Strong & black is my only requirement.

I like 8 O'Clock coffee. It's not a premium brand and it's not a gormet brand. You can get it at Walmart for just a little bit more than folgers and the other "top" brands. Give it a try if you get a chance. kwg

More thanks guys, I really appreciate the input.
W7ACT, hoping to start early May. Hope to meet you. I'll probably be there early and late, my wife will handle things through the middle of the day. I'll be at home with the kids making knives and calls!

What Bristo, ringworn and Dutch said. Nothing like a good cup of black coffee, but burned bean coffee is only for adding the fruits, nuts, flowers and other ancillary flavors for a hint of coffee taste.

What Bristoe said.
Remember, too, that when you're a guy hittin' the big box store to get supplies for a DIY project, to SAVE MONEY, but per usual ends up over budget - you charging significant money on an impulse coffee walking out the door, right after getting clobbered at checkout is maybe not a great strategy. But $0.75, eh, probably got that rattling around the pocket. Just my opinion as a frequent shopper.
