bradbrennan Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I know several of us on here home roast our coffee but for those days when I'm out of beans and feeling lazy, anybody recommend some good single serve? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garbandz Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 unthinkable..........like reaching for a Phillies Blunt or a White Owl...... At the garage we have a Keurig,where I brew my own roast,the other choice is the pre-filled cups.Never had one,so I can't recommend them.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stogieluver Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 We have a Keurig and love it. Can't beat it for convienence and wide selection of coffee, tea, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunkenMonkey Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Nespresso is to Keurig as Cohiba is to Rocky Patel. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helix Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I like fresh grind in a one cup pour over. i.e. melita with a number 2 filter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodofFire Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I like the single serve Folgers Morning Cafe. Perfect for the first cup in the morning. Especially on a day like today. We have about 2" of that white stuff on the ground with sleet coming down on top of that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newkarian Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I use a single serving french press when its just me. All it takes is a little quick grinding and boil water in tea kettle. Perfect cup to your liking every time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradbrennan Posted November 10, 2014 Author Share Posted November 10, 2014 Nespresso is to Keurig as Cohiba is to Rocky Patel. I've tried many Keurig compatible pods and always still craving something more. Must be time to try Nespresso as they keep coming up on every coffee thread here. Just add your favorite Coffee, best thing scene sliced bread But I usually have to roast my favorite coffee and we typically don't have fresh, good coffee locally. I like fresh grind in a one cup pour over. i.e. melita with a number 2 filter. Where do you get your fresh grind? I like the single serve Folgers Morning Cafe. Perfect for the first cup in the morning. Especially on a day like today. We have about 2" of that white stuff on the ground with sleet coming down on top of that I used to enjoy the single dunking bags years ago. Wonder why more roasters don't offer them.

bradbrennan Posted November 10, 2014 Author Share Posted November 10, 2014 Trouble I've had with many single serves, K cups anyway, and big box brands packaged coffee is the freshness. Can it really still be fresh when it has a best used by date a year out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rye Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I have 2 Tassimo machines & hate them. I feel bad about the amount of waste, and the coffee really isn't good enough to justify the machine. If they had a reusable cup I might dust them off, but still much prefer my French press or the Areo press. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forgop Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Nespresso is good for the convenience but quite pricey. I got a great deal on a machine to grind and make espresso/cappuccino and will be selling my Nespresso machine due to $0.75 per pod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiram2011 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I've always used a Keurig but may need to get into a Nespresso. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maverickdrinker Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 what are your favorite pods I like the stronger flavours. Gives me the option of an espresso or a good coffee... Kazaar, dharkan, ristretto, Roma, indriya, rod abaya and dulsao. If you can get the cubanita before it is gone, I would recommend as well. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
