Ask HN: What is your favorite brand of coffee?

5 points by Scott_MacGregor ↗ HN
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?

Peet's.

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.

+1.

Also I feel like HN would enjoy these videos where you can see their craftsmanship at work.

Those videos were great. This place looks like a fun place to hang out. Using the science equipment to make coffee seems real unique. If one of these were close to me, I would go for sure.

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

Thanks for all the responses guys! I will probably try every one of these.

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.
