Sat here having a coffee and bacon roll got me thinking what brands and strength do you like?

I tend to go for a strong french roast. My favourite places for coffee are Sumatra and Java. Strong bitter chocolate and spice flavours. Mmm yummy. I'm also partial to Peruvian and Mexican grown coffee.

Mind you, I was stuck in the flat yesterday and I drank too much. My head was pounding by bedtime.

I’m currently loving a bean from a small grower in China. It’s called Dongka.

Imported by a friend of mine who sells micro lot coffees from around the world.

I like Colombian beans or Jamaican blue mountain coffee beans. I grind and make fresh coffee daily

local, but not too local

Generally South American for “proper coffee”.

Instant is pretty grim but Lavazza Prontissimo is tolerable.

Yes, I'm intrigued by this Chinese coffee as well. I'm a home bean grinder too.

I tend to like a lighter taste when it's coffee only such as Brazil, Colombia.

However, I tend to have a latte with a strong shot of espresso.

I'm not terribly loyal to a brand but my default would be Illy.

I tried Jamaican blue and didn't like it. Found it in tkmaxx.

I get ground coffee from a local roaster. Currently have a bag of a Nepal blend and a bag of a Brazil blend.

I had a Guatemalan blend from 200 Degrees in Nottingham which was quite nice too

You can still get it but it isn't real coffee and it never has been. It's mostly chicory extract with a very small amount of dried coffee in it. It was developed because making coffee in the mid Victorian times was still expensive and a faff.

I still use Camp when making Coffee & Walnut cakes. Would never drink the stuff though.

I'm not convinced that Camp could make nice coffee & walnut cakes. Please send 2 dozen for evaluation.

This thread has me embarking on an online journey to find some interesting and unusual coffees. I'm thinking I may try some Thai coffee or Nepalese even. It's amazing, and exciting, what's out there.

It’s a really nice brew. I was pleasantly surprised given China being more well known for its teas.

We parked up our espresso maker so I haven't bought beans for a while. I used to like a whole range of them and liked trying new ones.

We moved to using our Nespresso machine ( I know, no hate please) and my favourite everyday pod is their Ristretto. The decaf version is actually nicer and stronger tasting. No idea how they do that.

If I have to have instant, there's only one that I'll use: Nescafe espresso powder. I reckon it's the same as the old powdered they used to sell, the one that came in a jar as normal or those industrial-sized tins you'd see at work.
