Coffee suggestions?


Posted: Sep 10, 2011

I buried this question in a thread below, but would like advice on a good decaf for my new cappuccino maker I just ordered.  I love coffee, but caffeinated  makes me feel uncomfortably wired and hyper.

I was looking at their decaf this morning, but ended up buying the French Vanilla regular.

I'll check it out - shipwrecked

I've seen DD in the grocery stores, but never noticed if they made decaf. Thanks

We get Foglifter. It's the best coffee I've ever had. We also like their Hazelnut and Vanilla. All are rich and full of flavor. Haven't tried their decaff, but the regular coffee is full of flavor, so maybe the decaf is too.

We don't have Duncan Donuts on the west coast - which I miss so much I cry every time I see their commercial.

Hey there...Well, the base of a good cappuccino is espresso, so you need an espresso roast, otherwise a regular coffee would probably be drowned by the milk content.

I ordered a trio of full-strength (caffeinated) Kimbo, BUT I did notice Kimbo also makes a decaf espresso roast. Also, Cafe Bustelo (I believe it's a Cuban espresso) makes a decaf variety.

While the other coffees mentioned in this thread are good, they aren't espresso and espresso is the heart and soul of a good cappy.

Try Amazon for Kimbo and Cafe Bustelo and I'm sure you'll find several decaf varieties.

Let me know when you get yours and how it works!

Thanks! I ordered Kimbro decaf espr from Amazon. The Cafe Bustelo was around $27 for four 10 oz cans, a better deal than $8 for one Kimbro, but I don't want four cans that I might hate. The shipping was as much as the coffee!

I have an Amazon charge card and with my bonus dollars I only paid $5 for the cappu maker.

Still stalking the mailman (or UPSadaisy dude).

I ordered the Kimbo 3-pack, with two white bricks and one black "premium" brick. My machine AND my coffee are both scheduled for delivery tomorrow...I can't wait (doing a happy dance, to be sure!).

Keep me posted on when you get yours and we can compare notes on any special techniques or recipes we come up with!

Coffee - Help, AnaPSep 19, 2011
Got it - sipping my first cuppa cappy.  Works great, great foam, squirt of chocolate syrup, but nowhere can I find the amount of grounds to use (filling water to second line).  My first cup was ungodly weak so I tossed it.  This is better but still weaker than I liike.  How much grounds should I use?    ...

Coffee Craving!Dec 02, 2009
This is the halfway point in my workday.  I usually head to a local coffee shop for my fix.  My favorite this season is the pumpkin spice.  So delish!  I also like the creme brulee, but it's so sweet.  I hope there's something new on the menu today!  I'm going to get a muffin too. I'm having a fairly productive day and I'm going to toast to my co-workers in MT-land and wish you to have a good afternoon also!  Salute! ...

How Much Coffee Do You Drink A Day?Jan 23, 2014
Just curious to know how much coffee you are all drinking per day.  I have an espresso machine and I make 2 large lattes a day, both with about 4 shots of espresso each.  I will also have one cup of regular coffee in the late afternoon just to get my through my mind numbing job.  I'm wondering if I'm drinking too much?!!? ...

Coffee Time, Shipwrecked!Sep 16, 2011
Got my Mukka and my Kimbo Italian imported coffee and... WOW. My husband helped me figure out to set up the pot and it's just beyond amazing.  The espresso is excellent.  No diss to Starbucks, but THIS is espresso.  It seriously takes 4 minutes with the 2-cup model I purchased to have the perfect cappy right in front of you.  I'm still in awe at how the espresso brews from the bottom up through the fillter into the milk, heating it all to a perfect temperature.&nb ...

Brown Teeth From CoffeeMar 19, 2012
I saw how may coffee lovers we have on this board below, and I am certainly one of them, but I just can't stand how brown my teeth turn when I drink it. Any tips to keep this from happening? I brush twice a day, and I even gave up tea and coffee for a couple of months and my teeth turned back to white. I want to go for some interviews outside the house and don't want to be afraid of my smile. Dental treatments seem kind of pricey, but may go that route or else have to give up coffe ...

Keurig Coffee MakerJun 13, 2010
Had company a few weeks ago and they bought a Keurig coffee maker for us along with a variety of coffe "pods". So far, I have not found a coffee we like as much as Folger's 100% Columbian medium dark roast. All the ones we tried seem either too strong too acidic. Looking for suggestions on which coffee to try.  Not sure I would have purchased one of these "gadgets" as it is pricey and the "pods" are pricey, but it is nice for that first cup in the a.m. and even a late afternoon ...

Happy Coffee LoverNov 24, 2012
I finally found the perfect coffee maker!  Since there's only me, and I only drink one large mug of coffee day, there's no point in making a whole pot of coffee.  I've never liked the single-cup makers with the proprietary pods, since you never really know how fresh the coffee is, besides being expensive.   Then I found the perfect maker - a Hamilton Beach Scoop.  It lets you use your own coffee, and requires no filters.  It lets you choose between&nb ...

Coffee Breaks Without Losing ProductivityOct 22, 2009
Thought I'd share -- I finally found a way to get a fresh cup of coffee in under 2 minutes (fingers not typing=no money)...  I found a great website that delivers single serve coffee makers & machines.  The machine brews in about 45 seconds, so I'm back at it faster.  What's even better, my 10-year-old can now make me a cup because it's so easy to use.  My 6 a.m. shift is a little easier now :) www.coffeemarvel.com   ...

Suggestions WelcomeApr 11, 2011
There's a guy who I am just friends with (we all kind of hang out together at a local track).  We all walk together at various times sometimes in a group, sometimes 2 at a time or 1 at a time.  This guy and I usually have quite enough to talk about, but occasionally this guy will lapse into total silence.  I have seen him do this with just me, or with me and another person, or a group so it is not personal.  The trouble is, if it's just me and him, that I start feel ...

Hi all- I am in serious need of Christmas gift suggestions, but not just your ordinary giving a gift.  We have some friends who are traveling to Ecuador for 3 months, starting in January. I am wanting to get them an International gift credit card, but I have heard that even using a credit card is a big rigamarole in that country, advance notice, etc. Does anyone know if getting an International calling card (when I'm not the one traveling) is a problem? I can't buy them somethin ...

Suggestions...PLEASE!!!Dec 20, 2009
Okay, so our new neighbors upstairs apparently brought a "gift" with them to share with all of the tenants... COCKROACHES. We've found two so far today, and have lived here for well over a year without ever having them before, so my assumption is the new tenants upstairs brought them with them when they moved in.  Now that I'm done panicking and gagging, I'm still mortified that I have these eight-legged filthy bandits anywhere near me, I thought I would ask on this board ...

Okay, so this isn't earth-shattering, but I'm looking for a solution. My husband is in the retail business and he's always got a wad of keys in his shorts pocket (FL, hence the shorts as opposed to pants!). Anyway, the metal color or whatever it is from the keys leaves stains around the outside of the pocket area that I cannot seem to remove--the metal color like seeps through to the outside. I've tried all sorts of spot removers, leaving detergent to soak on the spot, etc ...

I really hate writing this, but I have nowhere to turn and thought maybe I'd get some suggestions of things I can do. Things are bad for us financially.  My husband was laid off from his job a couple months ago.  Within 2 weeks I got a layoff notice.  We were finally getting back on our feet after another financial crisis and then this happened.  He has not been able to find work (older worker) and I found a job, but it is PT and is making less than what I used to make. ...

Blueberry Sour Cream Coffee CakeApr 01, 2012
I just made the most scrumptious blueberry sour cream coffee cake. It was so moist and sweet, but not too sweet. DH told me it tasted like something we used to get in Germany. So I wanted to pass on the recipe if anyone is interested. I can't wait til later to have another piece. The recipe said to use a mixer, but I creamed the butter and sugar with a fork (my mixer is packed away), then I used a wire whisk to mix the rest. I also used a bundt pan, but am sure it could be made in ano ...
