BellaOnline Forums Food and Wine Coffee Are you a coffee explorer?

Do you buy the same brand of coffee all the time?

Or are you a coffee explorer, always trying and seeking new experiences?

I would have to say that even though I do have my favorites, I am an explorer.

Tried two new coffees in just a few weeks!

Eight O'Clock's Hazelnut and Caf� de Olla La Paz Chiapas Instant Coffee, a really great Mexican coffee made with brown sugar cane and cinnamon.

They are worth trying!

Caf� de Olla La Paz Chiapas Instant Coffee

Gayle, if you haven't tried the Eight O'Clock 100% Columbian, you must. Both bold and smooth.

I tried Newman's Own Special Blend Medium Roast -- pretty good, but nothing special.

Also, Medaglia D'oro Instant Espresso -- very good for instant!

Hi LM!

I am going to go back and look. The 100% Colombian was gone. Must be good.

I am also going to get the Medaglia D'oro.

Thanks!

I should have asked before -- where did you get the Caf� de Olla La Paz Chiapas Instant Coffee? It sounds amazing!

Lol I make [censored] coffee. So I don't make my own. I don't like Starbucks for some reason its too rich and tastes bitter (is that just me?). Altho I do LOVE Dunkin Donuts hot and iced coffee

Lucinda,

You can get La Paz here:

If you are in NYC, I have a list of stores.

I don't consider Starbucks a coffee. It is more in the catagory of an expresso blend...I could only drink it as a Latte. (not counting for the fact it is way overpriced) Now Dunkin DoNuts is more of a true regular type and quite good. I also lik Gevalia if I'm splurging...otherwise I like my Folgers.

Dunkin makes good coffee if you buy a cup at one of their stores. It doesn't taste as good when I make it at home. Of course, it could be the cook!

No I think it is really different coffee than what they use in the stores. Also keep in mind they use professinal coffee brewers and the coffee pot you have may not make the best tasting coffee nor perform as the professional type does. So much goes into play for a great cup of coffee. One of my BFF still uses a simple electric percolator and it makes the best tasting coffee.
