What's your favorite coffee?
I've been looking into different coffee and I've bought a few different kinds but I'm not thrilled with them.
I like it to be a medium roast at most and I do like favors like French vanilla, hazelnut and in general those similar flavors.
Have a favorite creamer to suggest also? Thank ya!

Re: What's your favorite coffee?
I don't drink coffee but T loves Dunkin Donuts coffee.
I have another friend who loves the whole bean Archer Farms (Target brand) coffee.
I also like Dunkin Donuts, and love that they make k-cups now.
For creamers I generally like Coffee Mate liquid ones better than International Delight. My favorites are the Italian Sweet Cream and Peppermint Mocha (when it's out). I'll get the French Vanilla a lot too since that one is in fat free. International Delight has the Coldstone Creamery Sweet Cream creamer though which is amazing.
Also, Target's coupon section of their website has coupons for B1G1 free Coffee Mate creamers right now. Or at least did as recent as Saturday when I got mine. They have separate ones for liquid and powder. I send H the powdered ones in his care packages a lot. But it's definitely a good way to try other flavors out too if you aren't sure. They are manufacturer's coupons so you can print them from there but use them anywhere.
ETA: I think the coupons might be gone. I just tried looking for them and didn't see them. But it could also be because I've hit my print limit with them.
I'll ditto the coffee mate being better. Although I get the dry ones, they're the best ones.
I buy various types of whole bean from The Fresh Market. It's so much better than many other store brands but living in the PNW made us kind of coffe snobs. We will get DD or Seattle's Best cinnamon if we're feeling like a change.
I don't use creamer but have been making it homemade for M to use. I think it was Ojo that made me realize the stuff at the store is full of junk. It's really easy to make and he likes it better than Coffee mate and the like.
Do you have any local roasters?
I've never considered myself a coffee snob, but most of the stuff from the grocery store tastes wrong and coffee creamer grosses me out.
Please tell me you have a french vanilla recipe.
I just pinned a homemade french vanilla one the other day if you want it. I haven't made it yet.
I'm so used to pinterest being blocked at work that I almost forgot about it. Running there now!
Here ya go! M's favorite is the pumpkin spice

I don't think so but I will look into it.
I never thought about homemade creamer.
I use the Coffee Mate and Bailey's creamers or just plain cream.
Whenever I go home to Colorado I stock up on "Steaming Bean" Coffee. It is a company out of Teluride that roasts their own beans. They have a string of coffee shops called "The Bean", which, again I loved.
When I don't have those, I love Green Mountain Coffee, or even the Starbucks brand.
As for creamers go- MangoMama got me hooked on coconut creamer (I get the Vanilla kind). She mentioned that she loved it on here. I saw it at the store one day and decided to try it... it's fantastic. It tastes better (IMO) than dairy creamers.
ETA: Changed some grammar... I am beyond tired, and nothing makes sense.
I'm of the attitude that if you're adding flavored creamers to your milk, it doesn't really matter what kind of coffee you have. I'm not a coffee snob, as I use milk, and I buy flavored coffees, but I buy whatever cheap shits I find for H since he puts tons of sugar and soy milk in it that he doesn't really taste the coffee.
I can't really drink coffee anymore, so when I do, I splurge on something like kona. Yum! I also really like ethiopian coffee.
I miss Kona. I've found some at World Market here but it just isn't the same.
I don't remember where you live, blt, but have you tried a place like whole foods? I used to buy coffee at sunflower market, and they had excellent bulk bins with really good prices. If you have a similar crunchy grocery near you, they might have good coffee, even if not kona.
Make sure you're not buying kona blends. Those are just an excuse to jack up the price.
If you're really into coffee, you can always order it online. We stayed here on our honeymoon, and I know they'll sell direct to customers.

The owner took us through the farm and talked our ears off about coffee and processing it
I didn't know they sent it! Thanks.
Have you ventured over to Maui yet?
I changed my name
We use Starbucks coffee.
Right now H loves their cinnamon coffee and we use a cinnabon creamer. It's pretty delicious.
Also the Sumatra blend is really nice. There's a caramel macchiato creamer from International Delight.
67/200
This. You can order it online, too. So we have it set up to send us a case of coffee every couple months or so. So many varieties. We lurve it.
My favorite creamer is the Coldstone Sweet Cream.
