Well, I don't know if it's for suckers (hi, wino), but yah, I quit drinking very dark roasts quite a while ago, even for espresso where I no longer roast to the point of oil on the surface, leaving something more then brown, but well short of 'french'. For drip coffee, I hit more around blonde. I'd don't put milk or sugar in my drip coffee, so am much more sensitive to burnt flavours. Now, around here, at Starbucks, they call a Grande Black Blonde (the new mild) a Beyonce.... And decaf? <Shudder> |

I can't drink regular coffee anymore. I abstained during my pregnancies, which were back to back, and now regular "Canadian/American/Brown" (choose your name of choice, I mean anything that's not espresso) will make me agitated. Espresso however I drink quite regularly, even before bed, with no ill effects. I buy grounds. Decaf for the morning, espresso for after dinner. |

I had to quit drinking coffee on a regular basis about 25 years ago. I have a cup 2 or 3 times a year. Decaf just isn't the same for some reason. |

Have any of you tried Redbird coffee? He is a roaster in Montana, I believe, who does organic fair trade coffee. I just bought a Capresso Infinity burr grinder and five pounds of his Blue Jaguar coffee. I make it in a Bialetti Moka pot 2-3 times a day. The coffee is awesome and a very good price for the quality. I used to prefer a dark roast until one day I didn't. One reason is that the darker the roast the less caffeine. I love my coffee. I really want to get a 2-cup Brikka pot. It is supposed to produce the closest substitute to real espresso. Good crema... |

Well, just to hijack this thread a little further - we now use a Nespresso machine at home and at the office; our model is the Lattissimo. We love it, as do our clients. |

Wino, The nespressos are great office machines. Decent coffee, low clean-up. If I didn't have this brasilia, I'd seriously consider getting one (along with a kit for making my own capsules, of course!) |
