I'd say of what we currently own it's probably my favorite way. We have a Hario V60 one that came with the top pouring device and separate small carafe. We buy a 100 pack of filters off Amazon which lasts us just about a year with us only doing it twice a week.I'm like you here, I like to try all the different coffees all the different ways. I use my icoffee machine most mornings but I can't help thinking "there went a buck fifty" every time I put a kcup in. When my husband and I are up together I typically use a press pot. I've had an electric vacuum pot before that was cool, and various other regular coffee makers. I'm always on the lookout for the best tasting way to do it. I haven't tried the pour over style yet. Is it worth the time or just another way to brew?
We do buy the Caribou Reindeer every year. Very good. Generally we stick to Caribou ground or k cups. Also like their Obsidian blendHave you had the Caribou Reindeer Holiday blend? I love it.
i like that one tooWe do buy the Caribou Reindeer every year. Very good. Generally we stick to Caribou ground or k cups. Also like their Obsidian blend
Do you have as tough a time as I do getting decaf at Starbucks? Virtually every location tells me they no longer offer decaf - even at 7-9pm at night, they'll only brew regular! They'll do a decaf espresso with hot water - but then I have to pay espresso prices vs just buying a cup of coffee.
when people ask what I want as a gift, I always tell them coffees, gourmet olive oils, etc. I love getting a pound of holiday blend or something flavored once in a while. Especially since I only buy cheapo house brands myself.
I feel like variety packs are best for gifts when you don't know someone's taste. While there are dark roast, or medium roast collections and flavored ones there are ones that incorporate a few of each so if someone has something that is a no go it's usually only a few wastage.Do you have to tell them to get certain types of coffee? Or do you just like it all? I don't care for dark French roast. Too bitter for me. I'd be afraid that's all anyone would gift me.
I drink a lot of coffee, but I don't think my palate is too discriminating - although I do know and appreciate it when I sip a good cup vs the stuff I swill. lol. I'm more of a " try anything" person when it comes to different coffees- it's usually how I find things I love. But it's true that super strong/super dark is not my jam either.Do you have to tell them to get certain types of coffee? Or do you just like it all? I don't care for dark French roast.

Most of what I drink is old school store brand ground, run through a cheapo, old Mr. Coffee drip. Waiting for the machine to break, so I can justify an upgrade. I won't buy something new if the old version still works.

French Roast is very bold of a flavor. I like dark roasts but would not want to drink French Roast everyday.
This is the Maud's variety pack I've found I like the most though I've had other variety packs that were good too in the past. They number it based on roast level and there are a few flavored in there.Thanks, I hadn't realized that they'd only include a few of each type of roasts to minimize what doesn't get liked.
