We drink Folgers Black Silk. It is the best coffee I’ve ever had. It’s very smooth, no matter how strong you make it. Very faint chocolate undertones, to me. Obviously, I’m no coffee snob, and never hope to be. Years ago, I drank Stewart’s Coffee. It also is very smooth.

"The study confirms that better quality coffees come from selective hand-picking of red-ripe cherries.

Especially if the picking is done by a guy named Juan Valdez!

Sam’s Club Colombia Supremo tastes exactly like... coffee! Love it!

What? It’s not the monkey poop?

Coffee aficionado here. We buy green beans, roast 'em in small batches up to a pound, grind the beans for each pot, use a French press, and savor the results.

Ethiopian coffee is not one of my favs, too grassy for my tastes. I do appreciate Uganda beans. The Dominican Republic has produced some outstanding coffee beans in recent years. But for the droughts, Brazil is superb coffee.

The degree of roasting is a big factor toward a great tasting cup. Next is the water--filtered water is much preferred.

Green beans are shelf stable for months. Roasted coffee is freshest for about a week. Ground coffee begins to lose its best character within minutes. So, I'm off to enjoy today's coffee delicacy...

The headline promises to tell us the top “ingredient”. The article correctly states that there are many important ingredients to good coffee. This is one step removed from those click bait articles that promise one thing and deliver another (that you already knew).

Good quality water is always key

Reading through the comments here - dang, you’re a bunch of coffee snobs! Just give me Maxwell House Colombian.

I recently purchased a Aeropress coffee maker. It's like a French press but with less moving parts. The biggest variable is water temperature. Keeping the temp at 195 or so makes it impossible to make bad coffee, in fact the longer it steeps the better it gets.

We drink Folgers Columbian. Have a bunch put back “just in case”. Don’t want to run out if SHTF.

The top ingredient is caffeine. Everything else is just details.

Kona - from Hawaii - is my favorite.
It's grown in the dark volcanic soil of the Big Island -
that's the secret to it's rich, smooth flavor.

Pure 100% Kona is rather expensive, though.

So a Kona BLEND is a reasonably priced option.
I like Don Francisco - good, reasonably priced and available:

(This isn't a commercial - it's just what I drink.)

Now I’m confused. When did coffee beans turn into coffee cherries?

[moovova]

“Study shows top ‘ingredient’ to good-tasting coffee”

Hot water?

[Deplorable American1776]

I use Chock full O’ Liberals (sorry, Nuts) Coffee.. I have some in my Thermos cup... Keep it hot for 8 hours...

[Chances Are]

What? No Gevalia Columbian coffee?

My nephew recommended it a couple of years ago, and now it's the only thing my wife and I drink.

In younger days, we like Bokar Columbian. They don't make it any more.

Starbucks is pure puke. Avoid like the plague!

CA....

I only am able to drink decaf.

there is a roaster that not only has decaf, but has several different decafs. Not decaf flavors but decaf beans. Swift River Roasters

Very nice coffee, reasonably priced

I buy the beans grind them and use a French press, believe it or not, the old Mr. coffee French press works for me. 12 dollars each

After many years of trying many different ways to master coffee brewing (percolator coffee pots are the best), I finally got to a point where I can’t drink much of it anymore without feeling jittery, on edge. Just thankful I’m not a wine expert!

[Cloverfarm]

What really improved our coffee was starting with a better filter for our water.

There’s some store brands tho’ that melt-water from Himalayan glaciers won’t save. I think those beans are picked under ripe and sold cheap.

I like the McDonalds sludge.
