Now when we talk international, I really like Turkish coffee, and Thai ice coffee.

What is Cajun coffee?
I'd be willing to try some out...

YES ALL COFFEE SHOULD BE DRANK BLACK!!!!
Best cup of coffee I've ever had was in Zimbabwe.
It was very early in the morning by the fireside.
After I have finished my first cup, and went for another, I picked the coffee jar to see what make it was.
It was made in Zimbabwe, and very clearly marked:
30% REAL COFFEE!
I have no idea what was the other 70%, but it sure tasted great then.

I like some of the german Dallmayr my friend gets, also Gevalia is nice.
Greek, I have a Czechoslovakian aunt (well, nowadays you might call her Slovakian, since that's where she's from) but she makes kaffe the same way. I think they call that Turkish-style. Very hearty once the grain settles. But the real rugged ones eat the sludge at the bottom, at the end!!
Never settle for bad kaffe folks. Put down the extra money and treat yourselves right.
You have some experience with Swedish coffee don�t you?.......
Here in Sweden we like the coffee really strong! On my last trip to US with some shooting buddies I brougth a kilo of the Swedish prime brand Gevalia. We offered our American friends a cup every now and then. They got a funny look on their faces and started to talk about paint stripper, battery acid and stuff like that
Jagermiester is absolutley spot on! Get a good coffee and don�t care if it�s a bit more expencive. I rather have one good cup of coffee a day than five so so tasting cups!
Stefan.

I custom blend my own and grind it so it is "just so". Life does not begin in the morning until I have that first cup. I will be taking my blend with me when I return to Africa this year as they DO NOT know how to make a good brew there!

Saeed and I and a bunch of other guys take offese to that comment! 
Whatever it is we drink there (Ricoffee? I think, I can't remember) is the best stuff in the world. SO it is 30% coffee, who cares!
Bring it to the states and you might not be able to pass it off as coffee, but there....my, my I feel like I am there right now.
I think it is the anticipation of the hunt that is missing in all other coffees. Put some of that in a can of Community coffee and I will be even more addicted!

You should try taking coffee with you that is turkish ground so you dont get the grits in your mouth... If you are a serious coffee drinker you would be prepared to make coffee anywhere, and great tasting coffee at that!
I just ordered some Gevalia coffee. They have good programs on their site for coffee. I got a thermos style coffee maker and 1lb of their brew for 14.95, but then you have to pay for 8 lbs of coffee split over 4 months. There isnt an obligation to continue for the 4 months, however. I will do that just because I drink a lot of coffee anyways.
My family used to be in the livestock business in Southeastern Utah and I still have a couple of the BIG speckled pots that were used over the fires in the sheep camps. These things have a base diameter of probably about 16 inches and are abot 2 feet high! These folks were anything but "pantywaists".

Enjoy if you dare.
On a side note... one of the cheerier moments of my very, very, VERY early life, was when, as a child, Mom would let me grind the coffee beans she bought at the A&P store. For me, as a little kid, that was the coolest thing in the whole wide world! I don't have a lot of happy memories from childhood, but that's definitely one of the few.

I'll second your choice. Jamaican Blue Mountain.
But I admit to enjoying the hell out of C-rat and MRE coffee on more than a few occasions(imagine that!?!?). I guess it can be relative to the environment. MM

You hadn't oughta posted that link! I think I've found a new hobby. Also have this years Mother's day present figured out, a home roaster and sample pack of beans.
IT'S MOM'S!!

It is located in Chicago so it is a little closer than Sweet Marias might be to some people, but they charge more too. Also you can taste the samples there so you know what you are getting. A thing that I have noticed with these home roasted coffees is that the beans seem to have 3 components, the initial taste, the body, and the aftertaste. The beans usually don't have all the components that is why there are so many blends out there.
If you try roasting your own, I have had good luck using a hot air popcorn popper and I do it outside too. It makes not really much smoke but creates a lot of fumes and they don't smell too coffee-like when the beans are green. It is interesting to see though, as during the roasting process the beans "pop" or crackle, almost like popcorn! Ive tried all other sorts of roasting methods- wok, pan in the oven, cast iron pan on the stove, and the popper works pretty good for me.

Drinking bad coffee is some sort of self-torture.

Dallmayr or Onko or Jacobs make a good basis , the rest is some good cognac , some whipped cream on top , decorated with chocolate to make it a R�desheimer coffee !
Similar stuff is Pharis�er in Northern Germany or Irish coffee . It�s not the coffee as such , that makes it interesting , but the rest of the ingredients hidden in it !
. That Riccoffee (aaaccckkkkKK!) is nasty stuff, wonder where they lost the other 70%? Even a Rooibos was better than Riccoffe!!! There will be a couple bricks of Folgers in my luggage this summer.

- Take one large cup
- Put one (hard) lump of sugar in the cup
- Pour BLACK coffee until you can't see the sugar
- Pour vodka (or best of all, Swedish "Br�nnvin") until you can see the lump again
- Drink and enjoy

My favorite way to drink Vodka is Absolute out of the freezer in a shot glass. But I just may have to try some Swedish coffee on our next hunt
Roasting your own beans is actually very easy to do. I rely on my brother, so I've not had to make the investment. A little trial and error, and you can make some wonderful coffee. What's nice about it is that green beans have a long shelf life, so you can have a stash of different kinds of beans and have a different cup of coffee each day of the week because you can roast only what you'll use the next day. You can also experiment and make your own blends. City roast the same beans one day, espresso roast the following. Same beans, different taste. Totally up to you and what you like.
I visited my friend few days ago. He made cup of coffee for me. I tasted it, used to some smacks and bad smell of cheap coffee, but now nothing wrong, so I tasted it again and it was perfect. I told him, this coffee is really god, you used filtrated water or so ? No, it is Segafredo Zanetti.
This friend is now on holydays in San Paulo, instructed to bring back some good coffee, what sort do you recommend (I will email it to them) ?

I hate to be simplistic here, but, um... does this reference have anything to do with R�desheim? I try to go there at least once every time I have to pull duty at Wiesbaden. There's a little wine shop there, run by some Japanese folks, that I always try to frequent. It's really a quaint little town, right along the Rhine, and there are quite a few nice restaurants there, too. I love going there for dinner, when I have time and transportation.

My second favorite coffee is Sumatran closely followed by Tanzanian, when I can get it here. However, the roast makes all the difference with Tanzanian, IMHO.
Anne is right about one thing, they don't know how to make coffee in RSA. I don't know what that instant stuff was that they claimed was coffee on the counter of the lodge each morning, but it sure wasn't coffee! I'm pretty sure it didn't even start out as beans. A couple of mornings there, I could have sworn it was ground from the droppings of whatever was passing by in the night. And that is about the nicest thing I can say about it. I will probably bring some good coffee with me next time and a press, but I'm afraid I'll spoil the PH's in camp forever!
Think that would make a good tip for my PH or would it be torture?
