Whats your favourite brand of filter coffee?

[Mark300zx]

Ok I know I should get blue mountain beans and have them crushed between a young virgins thighs, but for those days you just can't be bothered whats your favourite pre-ground coffee?

[pies1981]

Illy!

[Huntsman]

Lavazza Red Label

Off to brew a pot now.

[Rude Girl]

Podie here...

Currently drinking some interesting coffee brought back from Cuba!

Normally though, we drink Illy.

[Mobile Chicane]

Waitrose own label Columbian.

Bag of strong roast beans from whittards and an electric grinder means you can have fresh 'filterable' coffee in seconds.

or use for an americano as I did earlier :P

When I really 'can't be bothered' it's Douwe Egberts instant *shock*

Bugger. I was going to bring some back (was over at Christmas).

Is it any good Podie?

[Mark300zx]

I always thought Illy was for expresso type machines, do they do normal filter coffee as well?

Rude here - we like it. The stuff we bought was smokier than the Illy. I imagine there's a lot of variation though. We bought beans and ground, and prefer the beans. Wish we'd bought a massive bag now.

Carte Noir - it tastes just like french style cafe au lait to me, which is my favourite kind.

My personal choice.

Illy is good, and some of the Starbucks blends are good.

Whittards Monsoon Malabar when I can be bothered to drive to the shop or the Costa strong blend if I have to nip to the supermarket.

[b2dan]

Taylors Lava Java for the morning brews
Taylors Panama la Esperelda? for the afternoon brews

[missdiane]

Usually Illy or Lavazza
Just finished some Starbucks stuff which I did not like TBH- got it for Xmas, it was very shiny and it seemed to upset my grinder quite a bit
Saturday I was in the wholefoods shop near here and just picked up some fair trade columbian beans and they are gorgeous!
My grinder is happy and I am happy and I'll be going back there for more

[madbadger]

Illy or Lavazza for me too.

Tend to use the same espresso beans for filter coffee, just don't grind them quite so fine.

[JRM]

Lavazza Red Label for me, great value as well from Waitrose

[Rude-boy]

Usually Illy or Lavazza

Lidel do a surprisingly good one as well which is just fine for gluging.

Every so often I treat myself to a blend of beans a friend makes, magnificent.

[Murdoc]

I have gone off the Lavazza red. Clipper fairtrade organic now, which I think is great.

[mechsympathy]

Not a fan of Illy or Lavazza, although the tins are cool. Cafe Direct rich roast for me. Or Brian Wogan Mocha beans if I'm grinding them myself.
