I don’t make coffee super often… because I’m an absolute heretic and drink Java Monster or Cafe Mocha Soylent and occasionally hate myself… but when I do I want a good cup, something not too bitter or burnt-tasting but with a good flavor.

So I’m looking for something that is… y’know, fancier than Folgers but not exactly Kopi Luak either.

My current go-to is Lavazza Intenso. I just got an aeropress (thanks to all the folks on here who recommended it) and I have a hand burr grinder … somewhere…

So. What should I be trying, assuming I want tasty coffee that isn’t priced like it’s made of gold?

    You guys aren’t using distilled water in your coffee lab? /s

      i know you’re being sarcastic, but distilled water would be the worst thing you could use since the minerals help extract flavor. using distilled water would produce the most bland flavorless coffee imaginable.

        I’ve been using distilled since the water in this part of Texas leaves a thick build up in no time. Is it that much of a difference?
