If you like Folgers, Cains, etc. and it works for you never try a cup of good fresh ground bean coffee brewed right after grinding in an aeropress, Bilati pot, french press, or even a drip. You will never like any of the cheap low grade, mass produced crap again.Starbucks has one blend out that I like. It's a "blond" roast but I forget which one it is. All their other blends and dark roasts taste like they took perfectly good beans and burnt the crap out of them on purpose. Blech... Black Rifle, Seattle's Best and any other "quality" brands taste like the same burnt *** bean soup to me.I feel the same about any coffee that comes out of a percolator pot. If you want to ruin good coffee regardless of type or brand just boil it. That'll ruin it post haste. Percolators are a crime against humanity.I still have all my fancy gizmos for coffee making, but these days my Keurig is close enough. It makes a good cup as long as you put good stuff in it, and it's fast and easy.The absolute best coffee made on the planet is Douwe Egberts. They roast AND brew it and then distill it down to a syrup. Their special machine heats it and mixes it with hot water back to the strength they want it to be. I have no idea how they get the flavor they do but I tried to duplicate it by trying every brewer known to man and it ain't even close to the same. I even contemplated dropping a couple of grand on one of their commercial machines and sourcing the syrup somewhere. That stuff is like what I think crack, meth, and heroin all put together must be like. It's that good....</blockquote>
