what is the best taste ground coffee?

@yanzhiqiang 

I am a big coffee fan and drink black bold level coffee.

My favourite are the Starbuck’s Komodo Dragon and the Kick Horse’s 454 Horse Power & Grizzly Claw.

I noticed the medium roast in the extra find grind is not filled to the brim in the can whereas the regular grind in the white can is filled all the way to the top.  Is this because the extra find grind is more dense and therefore takes up less space in the can?

Little late but compare the extra fine grind to grains of sand and the regular to aquarium gravel.  The sand packs tighter, less air space between particles. Same for coffee.

[yanzhiqiang]

But all have same weight.

My previous comment had a recommendation for President's Choice (Superstore) coffee. Should have stipulated that was for the fine grind, medium roast in the bright gold can. The dark roast is okay too. We tried the "Great Canadian" blend and didn't really care for it. Think they are trying to copy Tim's and we don't care for it either. The decaf PC brand is also good.

Lately we tried the Costco Kirkland coffee and found it to be pretty decent. Nice thing about it is you don;t have to wait for it to go on sale. Currently priced at $0.95/100 grams which is equivalent to a can of PC coffee at $8.84.

I have two favorites original Nabob as my first choice and Macdonalds ground coffee as a very close second.

LAVAZZA,GOLD CREME

[Gwenel]

love the dark roast Nabob

[elhota]

Anyone tried the Great Value Classic Roast and Dark Roast?  The price is reasonable.

The kind you grind yourself. One good part about grinding your own coffee is that you can grind it to suit whatever coffee maker you are using today. If you usually use a filter cone and drip it into your mug, you use a fine grind.  But if you are having company and want to use your French press then you can grind the beans more coarsely to suit it.  My husband swears by Columbian beans.

Personaly, I like Lavazza coffee both beans and ground.

Mother Parkers original. Thats what the old school Tims used to be. Brewed at home is so much better for whatever reason.

I alternate between PC West Coast Dark and Nabob.  Whichever is on sale.

Try adding a pinch of salt to the grounds before brewing to neutralize bitterness.

[gblackma]

The  Folgers dark roast coffee in the red containers. It's economical, tastes great and I can percolate it and drink it 6 hours later.To me,  doesn't get bitter.

[Mkask128]

McCafe! Hands down.

Today I bought a bag of PC medium rost coffee beans(902g for $11.99) and a coffee grinder starting to make my own ground coffee.

[goauldgungan]

French presses are amazing.  Probably the best tasting coffee at that price point. (Manual pour over and aeropresses are good options as well). 

[Kinnear99]

Personally, I think the brewing method has a huge impact on how the coffee tastes.  I won a Stanley French Press from work and ever since Its the only way i brew my coffee.  I find it brings out the true flavour of the coffee (also adds a slight oily texture which may not be noticable to the normal coffee user).  As for the type of coffee, I like Zavida Hazelnut Vanilla.  It's about $20 for a 2lbs (930g) bag but it is so worth it.

PC Medium Roast or PC West Coast Dark Roast.  Sometimes they go on sale for the same prices as Maxwell House.  And the quality is much better!

[yanzhiqiang]

Me too only black coffee.

[JenL]

@yanzhiqiang PC is a great product. From coffee to cookies! 

[JenL]

@yanzhiqiang I was complimented on the last pot of coffee I made with someone. It was Maxwell House. Hazelnut flavored coffee is good in my opinion as well. 

[will13am]

Restaurant coffee, McDonald's.  For home, eight o'clock coffee.  

[funpig]

Nabob

[emilyvatttt]

I assume you're just using the good classic coffee maker? Personally I prefer van houten and McDonald's coffee, but I use a keurig so my results may differ from that of a pot of coffee😊 it all depends if you prefer your coffee more bitter or tart or sweet or medium or light and so on! 

[Korth]

I drink my coffee black - unpolluted by milks and sugars! - so I like coffee which actually tastes like good coffee. 

I find Tim Hortons too bitter and acidic. Folgers and Maxwell House too watered and flavourless. Hipster Charbucks too burnt and overpriced.

McDonalds coffee is surprisingly decent. Some of the Seattle Coffee and Van Hauten blends are good, almost sweet-tasting. "Dark roasted" Nabob and PC and Melitta all fairly good.

I tend to avoid "house blends" because they're usually just a mix of whatever random leftover bean dregs couldn't otherwise be sold.
