It is from STARBUCKS PIKE PLACE ROAST 71. I had made Starbucks before so I do not know what I'm doing wrong. It is just way to bitter even when I make it on a regular coffee maker instead of my Expresso Machine.maybe it is just the flavor.

I have to quit for today, I kind of went over my limit,I think. Do we really have a limit on haow much coffee we should drink?

Jenine Wienandcatlover2 # Wednesday, May 6, 2009 8:32:26 AM

virmarytorres2 # Wednesday, May 6, 2009 10:24:42 PM

I could never run out of coffee, no way, I would go nuts, I mean BEENS , I have back ups to my back up coffee, to my back up coffee and if I run out all my back ups @ home, I go to work and get my stash from there if the stores are closed, that is about how much coffee I have, between 10-15 depends on what kind of day I'm having, and yes the stronger the better:)

mmmmmm... i love the smell of coffee more than drinking it....

one good cup a day is more than enough for me.
cappuccino style

i just found out few months ago that coffee contains high acidity.

so i found a PUROAST LOW ACID COFFEE - Organic dark French roast 50% lower acidity at Whole Foods. i haven't tried it yet since i stopped drinking 2 months ago when i started a detox plan.

i don't have a crave for coffee at the moment but i never forget the aroma...

i did have a sample cup at Trader Joes, oh and i had a moment of caffiene high... ;also at an italian festival the other day, i had a cup of ice cappuccino, it was good, but not as good as i remembered; also at greek fest the day before, greek coffee was good and stong.

virmarytorres2 # Wednesday, September 30, 2009 1:35:15 AM

I have food allergies, and while trying to figure out my allergies, the Dr. put me on a very strick diet. I could have coffee,however it was something similar to what you are describing. It was not good at all, perhaps it was the company that made it, but I could not drink it. It was almost like drinking dirty water. I hoope that the one U bought is good. I love the aroma, and I love drinking coffee, unfortunately I drink a lot and yes i do love cold coffee if done in the right way

arwena # Wednesday, September 30, 2009 3:23:17 AM

i decided to make myself a cup of the low acid coffee i bought with some soy milk and some expresso cookies... mmm yummmm

it's pretty good, no differece from the regular coffee i used to drink. premium coffees is best and i'm getting a caffeine high again...

i don't know what kind of allergies you have but too much acid eats up your intestine wall and also cause indigestion.

otherwise drink up

arwena # Sunday, November 15, 2009 10:22:55 AM

i like my coffee just coffee with little milk or soy milk with a dash of chocolate. i'm not into flavoring coffees.

since the holidays is coming around, i have had tried a little taste of eggnog once and it's too sweet.

i'm wondering what's in the eggnog, i never asked.

virmarytorres2 # Sunday, November 15, 2009 2:25:02 PM

Yes eggnog is very sweet. I guess I drink any kind of coffee, flavor,latte, expresso and anything else as long as it taste great and rich N with the holidays coming I'm sure I will B trying something new.

arwena # Tuesday, December 15, 2009 10:48:26 AM

i'm still happy with my cappuccino

what have you tried so far virmary?

virmarytorres2 # Saturday, October 9, 2010 3:55:11 PM

I love my coffee, in anyway I can get it. Some of the flavors coffee are good, there is a store by me, that you can even get fruit flavor coffee such as blueberry muffin, cranberry, coconut, and way to many to mention. I even tried the other day a cold mocha smoothy, and it wasd mmm good

virmarytorres2 # Wednesday, December 29, 2010 4:03:25 PM

Do you have coffee with your shoes

Lovinmalamuteslovinmalamutes # Sunday, February 27, 2011 4:52:00 PM

I certainly needed that , go ahead and back the tanker up into my drive way this morning. So Hard to keep myself from it. If I have to go without I get headaches... Yep, I'm definitely an addict!!!

virmarytorres2 # Sunday, February 27, 2011 5:41:48 PM

So do I, every morning have to make a big pot, and in the eraly afternoon and maybe early evening. Cant help it I enjoy coffee

You aren't doing anything wrong. That coffee is just plain bitter no matter how you make it. It bites back it is so bitter.
I tried it once.
If you find a way to reduce the bitterness, by all means share it with us, please.

virmarytorres2 # Saturday, March 5, 2011 6:09:53 AM

If I figure it out I will let you know Maybe I should do the trick I was doing a while back and see what happens.

What was that? I sure hope it works for the bitterness whatever it might be.

virmarytorres2 # Saturday, March 5, 2011 6:27:21 PM

It is a secret,if I tell you I have to kill you Something I learn while in Europe. It actually makes the coffee richer.

Lovinmalamuteslovinmalamutes # Saturday, March 5, 2011 9:56:12 PM

I have been told secrets that right after hearing I couldn't remember, so killing me would be a waste as I wouldn't remember, let alone repeat it..

I hope the secret you learned will take the bitterness out of the coffee you have of Starbucks.

I have been drinking Boyd's coffee. They are a company here in the state I live in, and they make the best gourmet coffee ever!! I'm currently drinking "Estate Guatemalan" and it is a medium blend with little acidity.
I really enjoy it, along with several others that I have once in awhile.
I'm not to big on the darker blends, like Starbucks "Rip City" which they named after our basketball team. They tend to be too acidic and bitter for my taste.

virmarytorres2 # Monday, March 7, 2011 5:29:22 PM

I do not know if it will take care of the bitterness,however it will make it richer in flavor. Where I was living I bought coffee at a place call Berres Brothers. The coffee from there is awesome. They make it there, and do import from all over the world. They specialized in flavor coffee. I missed that place. Im still learning my way where I'm now,but so far the only place I found is Starbucks. A good friend send me some coffee the other day via FedEx and it was yummy. yes you might forgtet it but it will still be here in writting I had a co-worker who always asked me what did I do with the coffee, I keep telling her it was a secret also One of these days I might have to let the cat out of the bag

Better to let everyone keep wondering.

virmarytorres2 # Wednesday, March 9, 2011 2:13:55 PM

Yes it is, I just wonder what she does with her coffee now

I'm sure she will never tell, maybe she will learn from my other friend who trulu flunk coffee 101.

Can you really flunk out of coffee 101? I imagine it would be someone who isn't all that crazy about coffee.
I am sitting here having my coffee and noticed it's time to refill. I will be making a pot of coffee so, gotta go!.

virmarytorres2 # Wednesday, March 9, 2011 8:17:28 PM

Yes someone can actually flunk coffee 101. The indiviual does drink coffee, however I dont think this person never saw actual coffee beans and did not know that in order to make coffee you must grind the beans 1st. So yes flunk coffee 101. I lost track of how many cups I already had

Well that is explainable then. Not ever knowing about or seeing coffee beans, I might have been at a loss as to how to use them too.

We were counting the cups. Oops!

virmarytorres2 # Thursday, March 10, 2011 12:08:39 AM

The problem is that this individual drinks coffee. That is the scary part. i did get her a coffee grinder for a gift with some coffee beans later. I was counting my coffee intake, sometimes I go to the extreme and drink to much

I've been known to do that a time or two.

virmarytorres2 # Thursday, March 10, 2011 3:02:58 PM

Do you drink flavor coffee? or just the regular such as expresso or latte

Lovinmalamuteslovinmalamutes # Thursday, March 10, 2011 6:33:18 PM

I drink it all in any form. Latte, espresso, flavored, and just your regular ordinary columbian or breakfast blend.

virmarytorres2 # Thursday, March 10, 2011 7:12:53 PM

That is the way I drink coffee also. I do enjoy flavor coffee but there are some flavors that I still dont know if I like.

I'm with you there. Some of the flavored is just too "flavored" if that makes sense to you. I'm not excited about the really dark roasts either.
They are good for espresso sometimes, but as a regular pot of coffee they are to bitter for me. I don't like my coffee biting back.

virmarytorres2 # Wednesday, March 16, 2011 2:07:05 PM

I love rich coffee, but the bitterness I just dont care for it. A friend of mine send me apricot flavor coffee, however I have not try it yet.

I would be leary of trying that flavor in coffee.
But then I'm not all that crazy about apricots. Let me know how you like it when you do make it, okay!?

How are you? I'm getting ready to brew a pot of coffee now that supper is over.

virmarytorres2 # Friday, March 25, 2011 2:22:51 PM

I will let you know how it works out. Im ready now to brew some coffee also. Im good hope you are good as well. Enjoy your coffee OH yes and dont get to hyper

I'm already hyper naturally. Was diagnosed with ADHD as a child. Not typical for girls to be diagnosed, as it is usually boys Personally I'm not crazy about labels, especially ones of this type. I am more of an A type personality in my opinion.
Anyway coffee doesn't seem to hype me up. I find it has a leveling affect on me as far as being too active. (hyper)

I'll be waiting to hear.

I'm having a good day and hoping you are too!

virmarytorres2 # Saturday, March 26, 2011 1:19:36 PM

Not crazy about labels either. Take care, enjoy your cup of Joe, and dont worry to much, glad that you are having a good day. I'm making a fruit pizza for one of my nieces. She loves fruit as much as I love coffee,take it easy today
