I need COFFEE EXPERTS/COFFEE LOVERS for some advices?

Mike N asked:


okay, so on the list i have: Costa Rican, Colombian Supremo, Colom. Decaf, Gourmet Kona Blend, Italian Roast, Supreme French Dark Roast for Vietnamese, House Blend, Swiss Chocolate, Vanilla Nut, and Cinnamon Hazelnut. these are all different types of coffee. i do drink coffee, but once in a week only, hence i have no idea how these coffees above taste like. can someone give me advices which one is the best? or taste really good? i’m thinking about buying them for my dad as a gift (certainly not for any special occasion), and to help out my school’s fund-raising as well.
personally, the Swiss Chocolate, Vanilla Nut, and Cinnamon Hazelnut sound promising. lol, based on the name. well, again, I never tried those types of coffee i have listed. so yeah ~
one more thing, should i buy 12 oz BEAN or 12 oz GROUND? they only sale 12 oz bags.
really grateful for your answers.
BEAN or GROUND, which one is worth the money? either 12 oz of bean type or ground type is the same prize, 8 bucks. thanks, kraeshaew. that sure helps me a lot!
btw, if coffee is that noxious, why would i buy it for my dad, Gus D?
uh…i just read through couple info on google. people advice to buy ground coffee because if you grind it yourself, it’ll have an impact on the taste. and i’m looking for quality of the coffee for my dad, not the quantity.
one last thing, how long can the coffee be stored?

    i personally really love the Vanilla Nut and the Gourmet Kona blend. but vanilla nut is seriously the love of my life… and it smells so delicious, like you could eat the grounds right out of the package (even if you don’t like coffee) ;)

    i personally like to get the 12 oz BEAN. reason being: the coffee shop i worked at in england didn’t grind the beans until a person ordered their drink; and even then, we only ground a shot’s/double shot’s worth of beans… you will get the freshest flavor and the very best (kid you not) cups of coffee ever! its like heaven in your mouth… i promise!

    hope that helps some!

    uhm, i personally recommend Gourmet Kona Blend, Italian Roast, and Vanilla Nut. those three are the best on that list. once you’ve tried them, you’ll get addicted. Not only they have remarkable and unique scents, they also taste good. lol, sorry, i just happen to find no words in describing how great they are.
    well, i guess it’d be best if you buy ground coffee for quality, based on my experience buying coffee. if you grind them at home, the taste might be changed due to grinding unevenly.
    hope that helps.
