Let’s talk Coffee ☕️

[Michael 61]

Buying hopefully very soon in TV - will probably be new build in the south. Question - is their a good coffee roaster in TV? Also, I enjoy my morning coffee out at coffee place. I enjoyed the Starbucks at LSL, but is there anything south of that? Dunkin’ Donuts, Panera Bread or McDonalds don’t cut it. Does Sawgrass have a coffee place with sitting, and if so what time does it open. Thank you my future friends and neighbors for your help. Will be back for second lifestyle visit next week! 😀

Good Day. Sorry I do not have an answer for you, but I do have a question. Back in my past life in NY I had a french press and would grind either Jamaica Blue, Hawaiin Kona or a mix of Guatemala/Antigua. I'd get the burlap bags whole bean and grind it right before making a cup. With the advent of K cups, and life getting busier (not retired yet) I have switched to a K cup for my morning coffee (Cuisinart K Cup brewer). I have tried many many brands (even the types mentioned above) but have not found one that is "consistently" good. I try brand xyz and it is great. Brew the next cup of xyz and not so great. The water I use is consistent (spring). Temperature the same but the taste still varies. Do you have any suggestion of a kcup that you like? Thanks.

[Papa_lecki]

Any answer you get today, will be out of date in about 3 months.
And just because you do it one way at your current place, doesnt mean that will be the routine here.

[Michael 61]

Before retiring last year, I used k cups at work for convenience, but now that I’m retired, I take my time trying to brew the perfect cup. I like French press, but also alternate using Chemex and Aeropress, as well as Mocha Pot when making Cafe Cubano. I grind my own beans in a Breville grinder. If making a latte, I have a Breville milk frother. I kinda turned in to a coffe snob - I look forward to a good cup each morning, and willing to put in a little effort now that I don’t have to hurry off to work. So many good you tube videos that show how to brew with the above methods. K cups are good in a pinch, but really doesn’t compare to a good home pour over or other method.

Sawgrass Market has a coffee roaster. Golden Hills Coffee. They open at 7:00 am.

I’ll take my K-cup over Starbucks with the various selections available

Costco used to carry a Kona blend that was pretty good but they DC'ed maybe three years ago. My wife and I are heavy coffee drinkers and do miss it.

Where can one get whole-bean Kona coffee for home use?

[barnacle44]

We found Peets Major Dickason's very reliable. Grind at home or pre ground. Really like Starbucks Italian roast too. K cups don't cut it. Can't find any Dunkin I can drink.

[Kenswing]

There’s the place at Sawgrass Grove.
At Magnolia Plaza there is Reveille Cafe and soon to come Foxtail Coffee Co.

[Ecuadog]

In a previous life, I used to roast and grind my own coffee. I have since succumbed to convenience and Peet's Major Dickason's Blend K-Cups from Amazon.

Mainly, I bought green beans online from Sweet Maria's. They have a varied and constantly changing menu. My favorites came from small fincas in Guatemala. They also offer a few choices of roasted beans.

[Michael G.]

Geeeez you people take your coffee seriously.

I buy any small can coffee that's the cheapest I can find and consume 4 cups a day.
I use Mr. Coffee drip coffee maker, decaf, with a little milk.

I also refuse to order coffee in any restaurant, it's overpriced and sometimes to weak.

[ThirdOfFive]

Amazon?
Ordered coffee from Amazon once. Big mistake.

[Stu from NYC]

Ordered coffee from Amazon once. Big mistake.

We get the k cups and happy with them.

[thelegges]

We order our Jamaica Blue, and Kona on line from the islands. At least 3 times a year someone we know travels to the islands, so worth it. Pour over coffee, or French press is a experience. I can’t remember last time we drank coffee in a restaurant. In a pinch Starbucks will do, but prefer a roaster.

We only drink one cup of coffee a day, so it’s worth it to have really good coffee for us.

I used to home roast for many years. I quit when my last roaster quit. Got started with Sweet Maria’s. I buy whole bean from two sources now.

Get a reusable plastic/mesh filter, and use whatever burlap bag of whole bean coffee you like in your k-cup coffeemaker. You'll save a LOT of money, and you'll waste less plastic since the only thing you'll be throwing away are the coffee grounds (which you could just dump into your garden if you're into the ecology thing).

I have a Keurig Cafe, which has a magnet-powered milk steamer/frother and can make 2-oz shots, 6-oz, 8-oz, or 12-oz cups of coffee. I use Cafe Bustelo from the 10-ounce bag and make a fresh cup of cappuccino every morning.

If you use the fine-ground (or espresso grind), you'll need a paper filter in the plastic filter. You can buy those at Walmart or on Amazon. Sometimes the supermarkets have them in stock too.

Best deal on a decent cup of coffee is McDonald’s. .79 cents and a free refill if you want it.

[Garywt]

For me Starbucks could go out of business and nothing will be lost. Partly because I don’t like their coffee and partly because they can just have small, medium and large. For the most part l like my little 12 cup pot in the morning. Dunkin’ and McDonalds are great for ice coffee in my book. I generally don’t go to specialty shops either. Sitting on the lanai or front screened room with coffee is the best for us.

You have Golden Hills coffee at the Sawgrass Market. Local roaster out of Groveland. Soon, you will have Foxtail Coffee at Magnolia Plaza. It’ll have a drive thru as well. Local roaster from Orlando. They have one open already on US27/441 near Spanish Springs.

Both of them offer good, fresh roasted coffee’s.

[SusanStCatherine]

To answer the OP"s question: The Golden Hills Coffee shop in Sawgrass is now open. I had heard 7:30am. I've had their French Press and their pour over. It was good but pricey. Reveille Cafe at Magnolia plaza opens at 7 which is probably the closest to new construction. The Standard CLCL in The Center for Advanced Healthcare in Brownwood shows up in my search and they open at 8 but are closed on weekends.

[Monika Greiner]

I buy Aldi’s German Coffee, and put 1 tbs of coffee ice cream in it. Delicious

[Barbscats]

Home Goods usually has a Kona blend and so does World Market in Winter Garden. You can also mail order from
Hawaiian Isles (which is the brand at World Market). There’s also a World Market in Wesley Chapel.

yes there is one (haven't tried) in sawgrass.

For a roaster, we use Joffrey's which we order online and they ship it. The are located in Tampa and are the main supplier for DisneyWorld. The coffee is quite good.

the do have a shop in Disney Springs if you want to try it first

Try the Peet’s Coffee, Major Dickason’s Blend k-cups. Inexpensive if you buy a box of six dozen from Amazon.

[SusanStCatherine]

Keurig coffee makers harbor bacteria and mold and should be cleaned regularly and replaced every few years. Do an internet search and make sure yours is clean, especially if you don't want bad coffee. This is a public service announcement LOL. It's why I do pourover.

I don’t know of a place within The Villages that roasts coffee beans, but there is a small store very close to The Villages located in Leesburg that roasts and also sells green coffee beans. It is called Vintner’s Choice. They also sell home brew supplies and equipment for making beer and wine. It is located at 2501 W. main St., Suite 104, Leesburg FL 34748. There phone number is 352-431-2121 & 352-303-8071.

Having moved here from Seattle where good coffee is everywhere, not Starbucks, we have yet to find a "coffee shop" whos coffee wasn't extremely bitter here. Believe it or not, we've found our best cup of coffee at some of the country clubs, even that is hit or miss. The shop at Sawgrass Market is okay but may be better suited for cappuccinos due to inconsistency of espresso (barista).
If you find one, please post.

[Deden]

Wawa's has good tasting coffee, but there's a little coffee shop in the Bealls, Lowes Plaza on 441 left side o Bealls at the end. food too.

A major factor is the local water. That can make or break the flavor.

I like a good cup of coffee, and believe it or not the Walmart brand Donut shop coffee is excellent. Either the K cup or ground is very flavorful.

Don't know about their cappuccino. I order straight black coffee. At Bob Evans it always tastes like swamp water. I asked if they filter their water and was told that they do. Need to replace that filter. Water there, like most places in TV, the water is nasty. Order something that comes in a can or bottle. Great coffee starts with great water.

[Barborv]

Our kids bought us a Nespresso coffee machine. The coffee is fantastic. I had a Bunn k cup machine, (similar to a Keurig) And the Nespresso is by far makes a great cup of coffee. My brother-in-law has a whole set up (type of barista machine) and it grinds and does other stuff. He's really into coffee. Search online.

OK, up front I'm a bona fide coffee snob. I've been all over the world sampling coffee and have written about it. My sister runs a small coffee plantation on Bali in Indonesia and sells throughout SE Asia. First, to the best of my knowledge there is not a roaster in TV. On top of that you cannot find good coffee in the Villages with one exception which is The Standard up near the medical complex. They make a pretty good pour over and their beans are roasted here in FL and are fairly fresh, not the stale over-roasted stuff at SB, DD, TimH, etc.

Regarding Kona blends, they are a joke so don't buy them. The Kona Cooperative even sued the chains selling "Kona blends" and won significantly restricting the use of the term "Kona blend". As others have said it's fairly easy to find real whole bean 100% Kona coffee online, but it isn't cheap. There are many reputable online sellers. I now buy all my beans online.

Brewing great coffee at home is easy and very satisfying, and allows the flexibility of experimenting with different single source coffee beans. Purchase a good bean grinder such as a Breville or even a hand grinder (inexpensive), a 6 or 8 cup French press or Hario Pour over system, or even an AeroPress and you're in business. Spend a 1/2 hour on YouTube and you'll learn exactly how to brew excellent coffee. I suggest paying particular attention to those videos by James Hoffmann. Although somewhat nuanced, once you get the process down, which isn't difficult, you will be a highly satisfied coffee drinker. The downside is that you may become a very discriminating coffee drinker so you will be very selective on where you purchase a cup of coffee. I haven't been to a SB or used a Keurig in over 10 years.

I too was disappointed with my Keurig coffee and switched back to my Mister Coffee machine. I grind my bean also but didn't like the brew. I think the water in the Keurig just doesn't get hot enough for a good brew. There was always a "foam" on top and seemed not hot enough.

Where can one get whole-bean Kona coffee for home use?

Have you tried Fresh Market? They have quite a few selections of whole beans.

[Zebra]

There are mail order award winning roasters that are reasonable and extremely good. They bring the bean selection and roasting process to a science. Even if you lived in Seattle or NYC you would still use these sources.
If your serious about your coffee, thats the best way to go.
Then grinding is next and a good grinder can cost from $350 to 3,500
It make a huge difference.
Then the extraction method you follow comes into play. That is a another conversation.
All in all, TV is not the problem, its only the place you can enjoy your conveniently selected choices.
Welcome to TV.
By the the new coffee shop at Saw Grass at least uses legit equipment. The operator makes all the difference and I can’t fairly speak to that.
Even Starbucks had to automate all their machines to eliminate operator control. They just couldn’t get enough people who know what they were doing.

[bark4me]

There is a coffee shop at Sawgrass. It's inside in the Market area. It was okay. They offer breakfast sandwiches and bagels 🥯 however they only had bagels available yesterday. There were no stations to add sugar, get extra napkins or whatever else you wanted to put in it so make you you tell them what you want. It would also be nice if they give you a little paper plate to eat off of instead of the table! Enjoy and welcome

Coffee aficionado here. Does anyone know where to find high quailty 100% Kopi luwak coffee? I just want to taste it.

I can not get past the "manufacturing process".

[Win1894]

You can buy authentic Kopi luwak coffee online with some searching. Personally, I wouldn't waste my time or money. It is uniquely processed but taste-wise it's nothing special. You'd do better spending you money on single source Kona or Blue Mountain. If you do decide to try it buy a lighter roast. Roasting much beyond medium (city roast) will destroy the distinctive flavor and character of any single source variety of bean.

[broiler]

When I retired I purchased a Jura Z6 automatic coffee machine. I buy Caribou espresso beans and purchased an Ember 14 oz mug that keeps my coffee at a perfect 142 degrees. Caribou is not in Florida but with a subscription they will deliver and the subscription can be stopped and started without penalty. Some women want diamond earrings... I want a good cup of coffee when I start my day... with nobody talking while I drink it.

I think we've had this discussion before, so enough said. I do like your coffee roaster choices, though. :)

[marvinh11791]

That's Nespresso with an 'N'. Made by Breville. This type of coffee maker extracts the maximum flavor from the capsules by centrifical force. No dripping. And the capsules can be recycled. If you want to try a cup, you can go to a Nespresso Boutique. And I did the research. The closest Nespresso Boutique is here: 4298 Millenia Boulevard
32839 Orlando. That's Macy's in the Millenia Mall.

After golf my group routinely goes to McDonalds. They have a good cup of coffee for 79 cents. Oh, refill if you want. Once we did go to Starbucks. I never heard such screams over their prices. We are a “cheap” Midwest kind of group.

Not "cheap"! "Frugal", "financially responsible". Too intelligent to fall for the scam of over priced coffee. Know a decent cup of "Joe" when you taste it. Unwilling to be fleeced for the sake of appearance. Many other things as well. But, absolutely NOT cheap!

Keurig coffee makers harbor bacteria and mold and should be cleaned regularly and replaced every few years. Do an internet search and make sure yours is clean, especially if you don't want bad coffee. This is a public service announcement LOL. It's why I do pourover.

If you clean it regularly you don't have to replace it until it breaks. The instructions that come with the Keurig specify that you should clean it regularly, and they sell the cleaning products in ready-to-use packets/containers.

Mine has a charcoal water filter that snaps in to the water reservoir. Plus I pull out the well where the k-pod goes and clean that every week, plus I run the cleaner through every few months. PLUS I use filtered water to begin with, so there's less sediment that can grow bacteria.

I too was disappointed with my Keurig coffee and switched back to my Mister Coffee machine. I grind my bean also but didn't like the brew. I think the water in the Keurig just doesn't get hot enough for a good brew. There was always a "foam" on top and seemed not hot enough.

Keurig uses a burst of pressure at the end of the process, which creates a thin layer of crema in your cup. That's actually a good thing. Complaining about the crema in your coffee is like complaining that the bartender didn't put a cherry in your glass of Krug Brut champagne.
