I had never been much of a coffee drinker until my trip to Hawaii last year. While I was there I discovered the delicious and rich flavors of Kona coffee, only available from the Hawaiian Islands. Since then, just the smell of fresh coffee beans or coffee brew makes my mouth water.Coffee drinkers are a dedicated bunch. They set their automatic Cuisinart coffee maker to brew their morning coffee the same way they set their alarm to wake them up in the morning. Or they stop at their favorite coffee franchise, like Starbucks, every morning on their way to work.
I don't need too much caffeine in the morning, so I like to stick with my one cup coffee maker. Though I like my Keurig coffee maker, I thought it would be nice to try some other types of coffee. I decided to get some suggestions by looking at what kinds of coffee people are searching for on AOL Search.
For a special treat, I am excited to try some of the gourmet coffee that showed up on the top searched list. Number seven, Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee, has regional exclusivity like Kona coffee and a deliciously unique flavor. Gevalia Coffee carries a wide variety of gourmet flavors and roasts, including seasonal flavors. I was also interested in getting some green coffee beans and roasting my own coffee. What could be fresher?
If I need a cup of joe on the go, drive thru coffee, like Dunkin Donuts, is the fastest and I can get some breakfast. Green Mountain Coffee, number one on the list, is also great with food and is served at a lot of restaurants because they sell wholesale coffees.

I am a advid coffee drinker. I still can't fathom how starbucks makes it to top 10 for coffee. Even with great marketing, myself and everyone I know considers starbucks very expensive swill. I would buy coffee from my local convinience store first. Also, where is Tim Horton's coffee on this list? 2nd best next to DD. Folgers would have been my #3.

TIM HORTONS a coffee franchise from canada really big in western new york. Very good coffee always fresh, every pot changed every twenty minutes. better than both dunkin donuts and starbucks!!

My top 3 favorite coffees....1) Kona 2) Kona 3) Kona....100% Kona...none of the blend stuff that gets away with calling itself Kona and it is only 10% Kona. Splurge and enjoy!

The top 10 sound great but they are all commercial. I think everyone should check out Marlton Coffee (www.marltoncoffee.com. Its a small company located in NJ and they ship all over the world. Their coffee is simply the best I have ever tasted. I have tried the top 10 and Marlton Coffee products are far superior!

I have found my favorite coffee brand to be Eight O'clock original whole bean.

Gloria Jeans Gourmet coffee is the best coffee. It beats Dunkin Donuts,and Starbucks handsdown.They primarily use flavored beans, instead of flavor syrups. You add your own condiments, so it is always the way you like it. Besides all of the scrumptious hot beverages they offer, they also have a plethera of tempting iced and frozen beverages as well. Gloria Jeans will always get my $$$$, when I need a high octane pick-me-up.

A morning without coffee is like a day without sunshine. I started appreciating coffee about 41 years ago in the USAF when my Sgt exposed us to Kona coffee. I have been drinking it ever since and prefer it even with dinner. I have found Gevalia to be a good source for coffees with unique tastes, but the locally owned - neighborhood coffee shop is by far the best place to enjoy a great cup of coffee because you can share it with friends, discuss the problems of the world, solve every situation imagineable and develop friendships that just might last the rest of your life. Thus, good coffee beans, good company and something many don't realize...good water are the keys to many a good memories.

STARBUCKS COFFEE IS THE WORST CRAP , I EVER TASTED , IT SHOULD BE USED AS HORSE MANURE , ON TOP OF SOIL , TO GROW TOMATOES , IT SUCKS

try Cuban coffee using Bustelo espresso coffee you can find the recipe on line, but be carefull has quite a kick!
By luke a jackson on Jan 5th 2009 at 9:28AM
Two Florida chains can kick the butts off anyone out there including Gevalia and Starbucks. Boca Java out of Deerfield Beach (bocajava.com) has some of the best, smoothest coffee out there and their espresso is to die for. And the Roasted Bean out of Weston who also does mail order will make it just about any way you may desire it.

None of the coffees listed do we consider "Great". We get out coffee beans from Guatamala -no "no middle-man" ,
through our Church

By far the best everyday coffee is Costco's Kirkland 100% Columbian Dark Roast. The kids gave us a Keurig maker for Christmas. Good to try different blends with but I'm not sure that I would have paid that much money for a coffee maker. I only drink coffee at home. Your getting ripped off when you buy at drive in shops and restaurants.

EIGHT O'CLOCK COFFEE IS SUPER. ALSO SAVARIN COFFEE.
By fran on Jan 5th 2009 at 10:00AM
Well when I am visting my parents in Surprise, Arizona I stop in at a small loacl place. Over Coffee. Nice place and staff. Coffee is great. I have had to go to the chains on the road but much prefer the independants.
By Joseph on Jan 5th 2009 at 10:01AM
Also try out the small roaster in Bisbee. GREAT as well.
By Joseph on Jan 5th 2009 at 10:03AM
One of the finest coffees I have ever drank is community coffee, out of Luisiana. They have several blends to choose from.
By William Smith on Jan 5th 2009 at 10:13AM
Agreed, Kona is very very good...only coffee grown in the USA. Folgers Columbian has best aroma & taste. Every body knows by now...anything grown in Columbia is always & forever more THE BEST AROUND TOWN. enough said.
