Nice Honduran coffee.

To be honest, I'm not much of a fan of Starbucks. I'll go once in awhile with co-workers and during the fall for the Pumpkin Spice Latte. I like Dutch Bros. coffee which is like a Northern California and Oregan area chain, if I'm not mistaken. I prefer the home-brewed coffee 3 scoops of a dark roast/italian roast OR 2 scoops and one scoop of espresso. smile

Ah delicious coffee. American coffee is watery though boxed simply because of what my "abuelita" taught me. Coffee will taste like its filter. If your filter is a fresh sheet of paper every time you brew, it will taste like the filter. The convo came up when I was young looking at her making coffee with some sorta weird sock looking thing (colador) that was made out of linen but blackened by the coffee she would pour into it.I tried to wash it with soap one day and she scolded me...
Buelita (great aunt Anna): "Only rinse it with hot water to remove the grounds, I don't want my coffee to taste like soap."

Me:"But it looks like a gross dirty brown sock" feeling ill

Buelita: "Its supposed to look like that because it taste like the coffee, so when I filter my coffee with it, my coffee will taste like coffee and not paper".

She always made THE best coffee, so I took her advice and learned from it. Now I use a stovetop coffee maker, but I always rinse it after using it with water only, not a bunch of soap, and my coffee taste like coffee. No matter what brand coffee I use (usually espresso ground blue mountain coffee from Jamaica or Bustello {substitute})

my cousin bought one of those as soon as the store near her power came back on. She rigged up something so she could have her coffee during the power outage. lol

that type of coffee maker is perfect for taking to a campground. All you need is a heat source, you can even brew over a grill. smile

yep, I think she bought two just to be on the safe side. I remember those from when I was little, everybody had one before Mr. Coffee came out.
