I just came back from HEB and I paid 7 bucks for a bag of Starbucks beans which I used the Expresso grind to make a cup of coffee, It's ok I guess but for some reason it does not taste the same as if I went to starbucks.

COMMUNITY COFFEE

One of the few redeeming features of Louisiana.

Right this minute I'm drinking coffee my boss made this morning in his office (we share a coffeepot); I bought the coffee last, so I think it's the Member's Mark Arabica from Sam's Club. It's actually pretty decent coffee, made at the proper strength. He did pretty good today, not too strong, not too weak.

When I make coffee for myself (when my boss is not here), I am still using the Gevalia "Winter". It's a very good dark roast fine grind; not bitter, very smooth. I have liked all the Gevalia coffee I have ever used, even the decaf.

My favorite cup of coffee to buy is HEB's "San Antonio Blend". It's excellent. I'd drink it all the time, but it doesn't taste the same when I make it at home or at work. :(

I have been known to drink a few lattes from Starbuck's, but I consider that a treat (not because it's expensive - I don't mind paying for good coffee, but because there's not a Starbucks on any of my usual routes...nearest one is at the Forum).


COMMUNITY COFFEE

One of the few redeeming features of Louisiana.

Community is an excellent and inexpensive coffee. I dated a guy from Lake Charles once, and that's all I drank for a long time. I stopped drinking it when I moved and the HEB where I bought it is 20 miles away. They don't carry it at the HEB in New Braunfels, at least they did not have it the last time I was there.

bought a pound or anything like that. I bought a little bag worth $2.

11-17-2005, 07:03 PM
Don't think I
bought a pound or anything like that. I bought a little bag worth $2..

Trust me I didn't want to buy the whole bag either, I just wanted to see what Starbucks coffee would taste like at home. They only had the 7.00 dollar bag, after I used the grinder I put the coffee in a HEB coffee bag, I wonder if it made a difference? I already had the HEB bag under the machine and there was a very nervous jittery dude behind me that looked like he needed his coffee ASAP! so I did not want to waste anymore time. I also smack the machine as it is grinding, so I can see how I might get a few coffee beans some other person left behind.


Since I don't smoke pot anymore, and I haven't had a beer in two weeks? Coffee has been my drug of choice, I notice My sleeping habbits have not changed much, I still get my 3 hours of sleep from 4-7 AM every day, Unless I pull an all nighter and I do that around 3 times a week, Since I can remember back when I was 11 years old, I always would stay up two nights in a row and then crash for about 14 hours and then repeat, My dad was to busy shooting heroin and I never knew my mother so I had a lot of free time as a child, The Army and Smith security both loved me, They hate folks who they catch sleeping all the time, In the 80s I was into some drug dealing and I had the sweetest crank connection in San Antonio, not that crap they call Meth that they sell made from pills, I am talking about the good stuff, One juicy line and your good for 24 hours, and your apartment is spotless, Those red neck fools in the midwest that they show on 20/20 and HBO? they have shit all over there houses, and they need more speed every 30 minutes, They have no idea what real Crank is all about, some of you who are in your late 30s and early 40s know what real drugs can do, not only was your house spotless? but you knew how many pennies you had in youir penny jar as you ran out of stuff to do,

So until someone comes up with a pill that lets you do 3 days of work in 8 hours? coffee will just have to do. I just came back from HEB abd i must say The San Antonio blend does have scoreboard on the others,

I mix in some starbucks and a 1/2 cup of regular coffee and I am set for tonight, now all I need is some Prozacx or Xannnax :smokin

I pay $20 once a month for a 40 oz bag of Starbucks French (dark, smoky) Roast, whole bean which I grind fine. Five coffee scoops per 10 cup pot. Two splendas and 2 tablespoons of dry vanilla creamer per 10 oz cup.

Mouse, you need to try cowboy coffee if you like the strong stuff...just throw the coffee straight in the water and boil it. The longer the better. Then dribble a little cold water on top and it will make most of the coffee grounds settle to the bottom so you can pour your coffee off the top.

You can get JM Blue Mountain at Costco, bold roast, about $10/2 pound sac.

Same for Costa Rican.

I tried the chocolate-flavored coffee from HEB. Smelled wonderfully chocolate-ly when brewing, but almost no chocolate flavor. End of experiment with girly/gay flavored coffee.

David Bowie
12-01-2009, 04:49 PM
My guess is that they don't add flavor. They just have a pumpkin/coconut/vanilla/whatever flavored syrup. They pour some of the syrup into the cup, then pour the regular coffee.

katyon6th
12-01-2009, 04:51 PM
David Bowie has the right idea. The pumpkin flavor is definitely from a syrup, not the espresso.

And yes, it is quite a tasty beverage.

http://www.theconsumerlink.com/imagesEdp/EightOclockCoffee/p83581b.jpg

But I am not feeling the jitters like I need to feel. I think there is a reason espresso machines cost 300 or more dollars it must do something to the coffee bean that regular brewing does not.

My guess is that they don't add flavor. They just have a pumpkin/coconut/vanilla/whatever flavored syrup. They pour some of the syrup into the cup, then pour the regular coffee.

That would suck. That means there is no end to what flavors I can come up with. I may just dip a butter finger in my cup next time. But how come the beans at HEB are already flavored how do they make the actual bean taste like coconut?

And have you seen the bubble gum weed?
