I'm using this post to keep track of different kinds of coffee
February 10, 2021
Ever since I started drinking coffee, I decided it would be amusing if I never bought the same one twice. Results to follow...
| Name | Remarks | French press time | Cost/100g |
| Ikea PÅTÅR Ground coffee, dark roast | Personal favourite large-brand so far. Strongest flavour of all the coffees I've tried to date. Has a burnt flavour, but not in a bad way. UTZ Certified. | 4 minutes | $1.60 |
| Starbucks Pike Place Medium Roast | Smells amazing, strong taste, not bitter even when overbrewed | 5 minutes | $2.02 |
| Tiramisu Bistro House Blend | As I tasted this coffee, I thought to myself, "this tastes just like tiramisu in a coffee cup". Then I looked at the label on the package of beans and discovered just how right I was. | $3.40 | |
| Nabob Bold Full City Dark Ground Coffee | An excellent dark coffee. | No longer than 4 minutes, otherwise it turns bitter. | $2.66 |
| Ethical Bean Lush | Expensive, but worth it if the workers who produce it are paid fairly as they claim. Available cheaper in large quantities at Costco. | $4.11 | |
| Salt Spring French Roast | The most expensive coffee I tried so far. Good, but not proportionately better than the cheaper coffees. Be careful not to overbrew when hot brewing. Excellent cold brewed. | 3.5 minutes | $3.42 |
| LavAzza Qualita Rossa | Unusual but delightful strong aroma and flavour without being bitter. Very fine grind as you would expect from an espresso, but was a hundred percent satisfactory brewed in a French Press. | 3:30 because it takes time to decant due to the fine grind. However, it's not overpoweringly bitter if overbrewed. | $1.99 |
| President's Choice Colombian Supremo Medium Roast | Doesn't smell as strong as coffee should, but is quite flavourful and not very bitter. | 4 minutes | $1.76 |
| PC Organics Medium Dark Roast Whole Bean | I'd call this light rather than medium. The flavour is good but not super strong. | 4 minutes | $2.64 |
| President's Choice The Great Canadian Light to Medium Roast | As far as light roasts go, it's good, but it is quite light. | $0.91 |
