Coffee Advice Needed
Okay Coffee Guru,
I am not a big coffee drinker. I just have a hard time finding one that I like. What do you suggest for a coffee newbie like me?

Only one coffee is good enough for my cup. Roastin' Ronnie's. Nothing gets you up in the morning like Roastin' Ronnie's. (this is not a paid advertisement because Ron is being cheap)

Depeds what you want. I like a strong cup of coffee, and nothing in the cup except coffee. If you want a commercial brand I drank Choc Full of Nuts for years- prob be4cause I worked Psychiatry. Then went to Starbucks which I will still dring but Roastin Rons is much smoother. I did have to get a coffee grinder to drink his but it was worth it. My wife does not agree as it does make a little mess- I am getting better @ clean ups

What is it that you don't like, Lionel? Bitterness? Acidity? That would help a lot.

As a matter of fact...
Costa Rica SHB EP Romelia Flavor - slight floral, semi-sweet chocolate, Brazil nut. Moderate sweetness I have 30 lbs on the way. I'll do some as single origin and use some in a blend.

I am with Ron, if Lionel can tell us what he likes and dislikes, a coffee can be suggested. Method makes a difference as well.

Oooo, fancy Costa Rican...is there any Papua New Guinea coming? Can we start requesting origins? Well, back to Lionel's needs.
I think he would like Costa Rican or Colombian from a pour-over station.

As a another matter of fact...
Papau New Guinea Goroka Huge tropical fruit notes, very juicy mouthfeel, and a really well composed finish. 50 lbs. ordered a few minutes ago. PNG is my favorite. I also ordered 50 lbs. of a nice Rwandan. A PNG-Rwanda blend is a thing of beauty. I think Colombian, CR or Brazil are pretty neutral and most folks like them. Island coffees like the PNG are also a well balanced cup and appeal to a lot of tastes. I'll start a Coffee Origin Request thread so they don't get lost. I can't guarantee that I'll be able to get them, but I can keep my eye out.

I am good with the PNG/Rwandan, I do not believe I have had Rwandan. I do really like PNG, both single source and in blends. The PNG Goroka sounds great.

And I've never had PNG. However, Rwanda still makes me shudder...the country, not the coffee.

I don't drink coffee but I thought I just mention I love to read the passion you all have about coffee.
If there's ever an artisanal root beer or Ginger. Ale thread I'll be able to play. Sir Larry of Rocklin Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I just picked up some River City root beer. But, I really need to make some more Gnome #1 Root beer.

Wow, go away for a weekend and it comes out! Usually most coffee I have tried is too bitter to me. There has been a few that I had that people blended themselves that were great. Usually when I drink coffee, i like coffee with my sugar just to get the bitter out. I am up for trying anything though.
