What's the best tasting coffee in your opinion ?

Blue Bottle! It's celestial.

There are also many local coffee shops and vendors in LA that are amazing and sell their beans. If anyone else is from here, be on the lookout for Alana's Coffee that is available at farmers markets around the Westside.

I thought that the West Coast was dominated by Starbucks's and Seattle's Best coffee!

I just use the generic off brand crap when I drink coffee. Because I rarely drink it. Prefer tea and mountain dew.

Actually I'm more of a tea person also. My wife is the coffee drinker chez nous...

I agree, tea is better than coffee.

It doesn't take near as much water to make good coffee as some people think.
With a little patience, and adjusting the water/coffee ratio, I can brew good coffee from any brand.

Great info here. Buddy of mine runs a nice coffee site at https://roasters.co

I'm mostly a tea-drinker but occasionally I like a good cup of coffee. I like Hazelnut & Vanilla the best. McDonalds have good Arabian Beans coffee, nice and fresh. Over the holidays they have great stuff like spices/gingerbread/egg nog, those are good.

I have been around the world and drink coffee all over the place, to this day I believe white castle has the best coffee...I wish they sold it in stores like dunken donuts

At home, 8 O' Clock Columbian Roast is the best.

At a coffee shop - Pines or Stumptown.

Diet Coke, no ice.

The best everyday coffee I have found is a brand called Kava. It's been my favorite since 1976.

It has all the usual caffeine, but the acid has been neutralized, so there's no sour component to the taste

It's especially good if you live in a hot area and like iced coffee.

The only thing is...it's an instant (Oh no! :o The attack of the Coffee Snobs!)

It's marketed by Smuckers. You can get in online if you can't find it in stores.

The best coffees don't have brand names. They come from little specialty roasters. Among brand name coffees, illy is probably the best.

And what Starbucks sells doesn't even deserve the name "coffee," in my opinion.

The best tasting coffee is Pumpkin Spice with cream and sugar from Dunkin Donuts.

When I drink coffee, about twice a month, it's Starbucks Mocha in the jar at your local convenience store; ya get you coffee and chocolate fix in one bottle.

Krispy Kreme K-cups!

I purchased a chocolate hazelnut flavored coffee (not sure about the brand - just something I found in a store once) and it is sooo amazingly good and my apartment smells awesome from it

Everybody has asked me why I don't have a k-cup machine.... hubby doesn't drink coffee (I don't know how that is possible), so it would probably make sense for me to get one of those machines and ditch my traditional coffee maker. It's not really great to have the coffee pot just sitting there - filled with coffee. (Just not sure if I could/should take the leap)

I don't know what flavor it was, but it is really sweet. I think they normally only put 4 pumps in a latte. I usually ask for 1 or 2, because I don't like my lattes too sweet.

You could see if they have the sugar free version of it - you get more flavor and less super sweetness.

Texas Pecan sold at Costco. Reading all of these posts makes me want to go brew some. Never too late in the day...
