Coffeeholics, Who makes the best?

[James Deuce]

does anyone make COFFEE FLAVORED COFFEE anymore??? screw this mocha-latte-soy milk chocolate sprinkled fru fru water they serve now.. just give me a double brewed percolator grind that you can stand a spoon up in and i'll be ok

Yeah, but you eat babies for an appetiser.

[James Deuce]

Haven't tried any of the options except Starbucks and that's shit. Won't try McCrappy on principle - they don't know what food is, how the fuck can they know what coffee is? I have no desire to drink something that relies on the cardboard container to enhance its flavour and nutritional value...

Have a friend who swears by Rocket cafes here in Hamilscum - chides me for drinking at Robert Harris. Robert Harris is OK coffee - certainly more drinkable than Starbucks.

And SARGE: WTF is this percolation shit? You don't boil coffee, it scalds the beans and ruins the flavour. Quadruple short espresso, hot milk and three heaped sugars - flavour, punch... and the spoon won't stand up because it'll have pooled at the bottom of the cup.

thats what hobos do....

[Blackadda]

Got to agree with SP.

How the hell did you come up with THOSE options?

I've yet to find the perfect cup of coffee, but the search continues.

Always wanted to get into home roasting. It's the only way to get truely fresh coffee. Helps that it's cheaper as you can buy a large quanity of green beans. IIRC they keep for about two years.

Because my Nana asked me to ask you all!

[What?]

Define the question - are you asking "who makes the best?" or "who makes the best out of this crap selection?"
If the latter, I'd vote Gloria Jean, but that is still shite...

[Badcat]

i have a La Rancilio pro espresso machine and courier fresh beans weekly from Supreme in wellington.

not only excellent coffee - but CONSISTANTLY excellent coffee.
the people are excellent, i order via email and it's at my door by 7am.
all the franchises are suspect, but colombus seens to have the best staff training - and so the most consistant cup across the chain.

on my planned trip from CHCH-Auck in the next week or so i'm hoping to visit most of the supreme using cafes on the way - they are generally excellent (except blast in motueka which is pants)

thats what hobos do....

funny enough... thats when i WAS a hobo... sitting my little hobo self out in the desert.. with my hobo friends..our hobo rifles .. boiling up a few helmetfulls of coffee...

[SPman]

Whats with this coffee shit anyway - whats wrong with black billy tea - now thats a real drink!
Dark, aromatic,stand yr spoon up in, thick......
Coffee! Phwa! - trendy, poncy, towny crap!

[bungbung]

And WOLF: WTF is this sugar and milk shit?

No point stuffing up nice coffee by putting milk and sugar in it.

In Welly, Havana coffee, made at Fidels does the work. Midnight can be a bit random depending on who makes it.

Those sifters in Kerikeri, Max, roast some nice coffee also.

Badcat, I've got a Silvia at home.

Fidels is just as spotty. Since Linka got pregnant her standards have slipped a little, and the less said about the Minx, the better. I reckon Rachel makes the best, most consistent cup at Fidel's with Roger (dodgy as he is) a close second.
