I get all my coffee online from counter culture
https://counterculturecoffee.com/ For espresso I like big trouble the best. For drip, I enjoy a lot of their single origin sources. |

I don’t mean to sound rude, generally speaking and from my experience over there, you guys wouldn’t know a decent coffee if it but you on arse.
Coffee in the States is shocking. Much the same with what you guys call Beer! |

Sounds like you are on your arse. Rude, too.

I can't do weak coffee, just can't. A lot of mainstream drip coffee is like water man.
I use a Breville Espresso machine to make my own, it does a good job for a $700 machine. I use dark Kicking Horse beans and make a flat white. I see flat white starting to get a foot hold in north america, it's all aussies drink as we find latte's too weak. |

Hint for those who “know coffee” the darker the roast, the less caffeine content thus less strong, aside from flavor.
I loathe starsux fivebux with my entire soul. I’ve a moratorium on giving them one of my earned dollars. We use a keurig at home for quick hits and I have been ordering this. It’s quite nice as I drink my coffee straight black. https://store.kauaicoffee.com/kauai-...24-oz-p19.aspx |

Now having said that I personally don't like the sweetly flavored coffees like you referenced here, haha. Those 10% blends don't cut it for me either, although I do fully understand 100% Hawaiian beans are hard to come by and if you do get some, it's $$. My personal fave from Hawaii is the Ka'u variety. As you know, these beans are from the Ka'u region which is the slopes of Mauna Loa. |

Sorry but this is a stereotype. Believe me, there are plenty of good coffee roasters here in the US. Same can be said about beer. No one has more craft breweries than the US. I think it depends on where you visited but this label is flat out incorrect.

Have you tried this specific blend? I don't find it sweet at all, it's very much just a hint. They have a few "flavors" and this may have the most flavor of all. I alternate between this and a standard medium roast but thought I'd introduce one of my staples. Also love green mountain and find it underrated. |

As for Green Mountain, they're a roaster, right? I think they roast a lot of the Keurig K-cup coffees sort of like an OEM but different brands put their name on it. I have seen the Green Mountain blends however but don't remember if I've actually tried them. I think my Audi dealer has them in the waiting area. |

As for green mountain, I just look at it as the best (to me) of the everyday type coffees. Nothing you brag about. Folgers, maxwell house, Safeway blend etc. |

Yeah the US is getting better than it was before starbucks arrived. I think the shock for aussies was the proliferation of piss weak drip coffee whereas as we basically drink european style pressed. Our coffee of choice is also a flat white, a quite strong style, double shot.
Things are better her now, cafe down the street from me does a flat white for example whereas when i got here 15 years ago i literally had to walk them through how to make one. |

The Breville is a decent machine, not bullet proof, both the pump and grinder could be a lot better but the next step up is about $3K vs $700. If you get it right, it makes a very decent shot.

Actual brand of coffee is of no importance. I make it strong enough to where I second guess my second cup as I'm usually vibrating uncontrollably before I finish the first. What's important to me is what I mi with it. These days, I mix my protein with my coffee. Salted Caramel GNC Wheybolic is amazing in black coffee. No creamer, no sugar, two scoops of whey, mixed with a little water, then add black coffee; perfection! 48g of protein and caffeine.
