Ask HN: What is your favorite brand of coffee?

by Scott_MacGregor on 6/22/2010, 10:07 PM with 12 comments

I know a lot of you guys like coffee, I like Dunkin Doughnuts brand, and Starbucks Breakfast Blend.

If your work would stock any coffee you wanted, what would it be?

    I like Intelligentsia, which has roasting facilities (and coffee bars) in Chicago and Los Angeles. They do a lot of single origin coffees from Central America.

    Probably not available in many locations, so as a fallback, I'd agree with cpr on Peet's (I have their Arabian Mocha Java for espresso at home right now). Illy is a good option as well.

    Just find a good local microroastery that sells very freshly roasted beans.

    Eight O'Clock. I'll usually have two or three bags at the house (don't want to run out!) and I've found that by mixing 100% Columbian, the Original, and Dark Italian I can 'tune' the flavor exactly. A fun way to make great coffee at half price.
