My preference is lattes. Before I got an espresso maker many years ago, I preferred the flavored coffee beans. Hazelnut is good.

Mmm ... that sounds good. My preference is usually regular, but sometimes I want flavored, especially the hazelnut.

Annie since it looks like you're taking the plunge (so to speak) here are a couple hints toward success: 1. The grind needs to be finer than drip but not as fine as espresso. Too coarse, the water will drip right through before the few seconds required to steep, too fine and you'll have trouble pushing the plunger. 2. I've found best results with two scoops of coffee and water to the "2" line. One scoop and water to the "1" doesn't steep as well. 3. For the first month of use, I rinsed and reused the filters 2 or three times but I've since decided that I like the speed and efficiency of simply popping it into the trash and getting back to life. I've yet to need a replacement supply of those tiny filters but there are deals out there for when I do. Enjoy. Everyone I know that has tried it love the coffee; strong as you like without bitterness, yum. michaelp

My percolator makes great coffee. I enjoy a cup or two each morning. I wished I was borned in the US and would have known about coffee percolator a long ago. What a difference a cup of coffee from a percolator makes. It's smooth and flavourable. Another tip is to add a sprinkle (1 cup) or a dash (5 cups)of salt into the coffee ground. It will take the bitterness away from the coffee and you won't taste the salt. Unless, the coffee is processed for the bitter taste.

>>The headline on the company history page says "It All Began on Vine Street", at the corner of Walnut in Berkeley.>> The first Peet's store was opened in Berkeley. But he sold his beans through a few other shops before opening the Peet's-only stores. I remember being very sad that his store opened in Berkeley instead of being in SF where I could reach it (didn't drive and no car in those days). Even Herb Caen mentioned it, I believe; the Peet's French was highly coveted stuff. We were all hoping his first store would be in SF.....sigh. Aliceinmd, interesting that your recipe uses salt. I used to work in a big hotel in Chicago way back when, and one of the waiters was known for making the best coffee of anyone. I watched him one day and he salted the coffee grounds before turning on the big urn percolator. Much later when "food science" started to become popular, I read that salt offsets bitterness and thought, "Aha, that's why he did that!" Intriguingly enough, according to several articles (NYTimes, Serious Eats) they still don't know quite how salt works to offset bitterness (whether the salt somehow disrupts the bitter receptors on the tongue or whether itÃ¢ÂÂs some sort of post-processing by the brain)!

So, do you drink coffee?
Q

Yes, no special equipment is required, but, you're not getting all that liquid gold out of the grounds by not pouring everything, even the dregs, into a good filtering setup. Coffee is costly enough that when I use 3 cups of grounds to make a half gallon of coffee, I want ALL the flavor I can get from those beans. I line my strainer with a large square of fine mesh fabric (think wedding veil), add a large fluted paper coffee filter (can be purchased at a restaurant supply/Smart n Final) and let it drain for several hours. Then I twist that fabric up and over the grounds and wring out every last drop I can. And I only add 2/3 the amount of half & half/milk, not an equal amount. Remember, I like it STRONG.

I just like plain old Folgers, medium grind, with sugar and cream. That's my idea of a good cuppa.

Hazelnut is delicious! I drink plain black coffee most of the time, but love the flavored or the flavored creamer now and then for a treat!

I like flavored coffees. We use the Maxwell House half caffine for regular use. We have a snowstorm on the way so I just sent dh to the store for coffee. We can't live without that.

FLAVORED! It's like crack to me. Tis the season for Barnies Santa's White Christmas. I need to stock up. I have been known to mix my own. Ex: chocolate and coconut coffees combined for a mounds candy flavor. Or vanilla
x hazelnut. Choc x caramel. Yep, addicted.
I guess my name says it all!

Glenda, I'm so glad that you get to drink fresh coffee every day now!

We buy all of our coffee beans from Maui Coffee Roasters (in, of course, Maui). My favorite is Macadamia Nut.

I love flavored coffee. I just discovered the General Foods International in the small rectangle cans. The Vanilla bean Latte is so good. Do you recommend your new coffee maker, how does it differ from the regular coffee makers?
