This coffee was delicious! And because it was coming from Target’s Archer Farms brand, the price was great.
]]>I’m not crazy about it though. It is indeed low-acid; I can drink it black with ease. Problem is that I miss the bitterness of strong coffee, which I can indeed drink black as well, but also enjoy it with cream and sugar. Even without cream and sugar, the Puroast Low-Acid Coffee is without a hard felt kick, and I miss that more than I’d expected.
So I’m trying with Amazon again, this time with Weaver’s, which is bit more expensive, but has even more positive reviews.
It should get here within a week or so, and once I’ve had a chance to try it out, I’ll update this post.
UPDATE: Indeed - this Weaver’s coffe is amazing - and chock full o’ caffeine!

My office has a couple of Keurig coffee makers, so I’ve decided to purchase some “K-cups” coffee from Amazon:
For about $26, I would get 48 cups of quality, convenient coffee. Not bad! Only problem is the amount of waste these things create… I hope that they are recyclable.
]]>I was there yesterday and bought a cup of Mayorga Coffee, and it was very good actually: hot, strong, and fresh.
I would have preferred “Sugar in the Raw”, though.
]]>If its true, I wonder how they get more caffeine in there? Is it the roasting? Do you think they simply add more caffeine manually?
]]>I'm back drinking Trader Joe's Diner Blend! I was going to buy the cheapest coffee available, but when I read one of their "helpful notes" provided by their staff saying that lighter coffee has more caffeine, I decided to step it up.
I read up on it and it turns out that the amount of caffeine in coffee does vary by how much the beans have been roasted, but its more of a density factor, and it is a marginal difference.
In two common scenarios described by the Coffee and Caffeine FAQ, they describe restaurant dark coffee as having slightly more caffeine than light coffee, but freshly ground, spoon measured light coffee having slightly more caffeine than dark roast of the same preparation.
In conclusion: coffee and caffeine rock!
I like dark, strong coffee, which is why I sometimes refer to Dunkin Donuts' coffee as a coffee-flavored caffeinated beverage (though I do genuinely enjoy it when I buy it). Their rendition of a dark coffee is good too, but it almost tastes like they are trying to make it taste like dark chocolate. I love dark chocolate too, but I'm not sure how I feel about this coffee yet.

Trader Joe's has a new low-cost coffee brand: "Diner Blend Coffee".
I had some more, pretty tasty!

Maybe its because I now have a daughter who drinks a fair amount of milk? Anyway, I really like the way my coffee tastes now. I'm using a higher bean-to-water ratio, which obviously produces a higher concentration of caffeine, too!
]]>
I don't usually run out of coffee, but yesterday I did. I've started to use a higher beans to water ratio, so maybe that's why I ran out - who knows?
I'm headed to Trader Joe's today to buy some beans, and I'll probably go with the low-priced beans they've been selling lately, only about $4$3.49 for the smaller size cans they sell, which is about $1 less than the prices of the other beans they sell.
In the meantime, I've been drinking Trader Joe's Earl Grey Tea. Its a decent substitute, but definitely not a replacement!

A pleasant surprise - IKEA Bryggkaffe Mellanrost Coffee is really good coffee!
]]>
I had no idea that illy had coffee shops. Illy makes fine ground coffee, but I find it a bit pricey for what you get.
]]>
I almost wish this place was an accounting firm. I haven't try their coffee yet, but I'll be back.
