I watched an experiment in tv. They bought one of the most expensive brands, one of the middle expensive brands and one of the cheapest brands.They did three coffees and gave it to 5 people. Nobody could find the difference in taste between them,maybe because they didn't know the company and the prize? :)

I drink coffee and tea. Coffee is whatever ,as long as it's sweet. (I put a lot of sugar everywhere). But my favourite tea's are:Lipton tea :all of their fruit tastes,but most of all peach or strawberry flavour :) , Whittard (I think it's the right name) , my sister bought a tea once in this shop in London. It was with peach pieces,mmm the best peach tea I have ever drink. , and there is this asian tea,my boyfriend(?! - I dunno why I write about my sister all the time) bought once in one tea shop. It was normal tea with small roses , but the taste wasn't rosy, but more like fruity. NOW THAT was a great tea. no company cause this guy I think, was bringing lots of different kinds of teas from Asia.But very very good :)

i used to drink lipton tea . :D hehe

Rooibos tea. (Or any tea, really). Or decaf coffee. The caffeine in coffee messes me up. I know tea allegedly has more caffeine in it but it doesn't give me the shakes and the inability to concentrate like coffee does. Wonder if it's psychological.

Coffee is bitter.

That doesn't surprise me at all. As a wedding present, a friend of ours gave us a 50.00 bag of coffee from Hawaii, and don't get me wrong, it's delicious. But when I'm half asleep in the morning, I can't tell the different between the fancy Hawaiian coffee and cheap supermarket brand. My taste buds aren't awake yet. :)

For over 10 years, these are the ONLY 2 coffees I've purchased. If I'm out 'n about, I'll drive out of the way to hit a Dunkin shop :)

Most mild blends of Arabica beans generally taste the same. 100% Colombian is noticeably richer. It's when the off-brands blend in cheaper Robusta beans that it starts to taste poor.

100% real kona coffee baby!!

When I drink coffee I feel the difference just when I put more or less sugar,or if I drink espresso or americano or coffee from express or brewed coffe. It's like with wine. Most of people can just tell You if the wine is sweet or bitter and if it tastes good or not. But there are always 'specialist' who can tell You even if the man who touched the bottle had clean hands...
No I don't feel the difference between cheap coffee and Lavazza or whatever. Coffee is coffee lol

Never tried it, what's it comparable to?

PP, there's not much difference, but take say Starbucks vs Dunkin. Both great high quality coffees, but if you get them at the shop, Starbucks uses only 1/2 & 1/2 creamer, while Dunkin uses a higher % milkfat, so Starbucks tastes much stronger and Dunkin is smoother...it's easy to tell the difference.

I'm definitiely not a coffee connoisseur, but a cheap canned coffee is easy to tell.

Starbucks coffee is one of the worst, IMO. I'm sure some locations are better but every place I've tried, they overroast the coffee and let the bitter dregs drip into the container. Good coffee can be drunk black (tho I like adding milk).

I spent time at a coffee plantation in Colombia, and got to try all sorts of varieties. It was neat, Juan Valdez printed right on the sacs and hand-picked berries (which contain the bean). It made me a coffee snob but it was also very interesting. Saw other things besides coffee also, tho we didn't talk about those. :P

I'm telling You, it's not the prize, but the preparation process that makes it taste how it tastes. You think Starbucks or whatever else use the best coffee beans? HAH hell no. Remember Big corporations do always big saving, most of the time on products they sell.
And I'm telling You,if someboyd gives You a cheap coffee and expensive coffee made the same way to taste. You will sure as hell not be able to say which one is the 'better' one.

Some scientists it's the same with Coca Cola and Pepsi. There are Coca Cola and Pepsi fans, but if You give them those two drinks without names on it,no one can tell which one is Pepsi and which one is Coca Cola. Well my very small personal opinion says it's crap cause I sure would be able to say very quick which one is Pepsi ,cause it tastes bad ,but well they didn't take me to this experiment :) So let's say it's true :)

I can tell the difference between starbucks and dd for sure. DD has a very distinct flavor.

Pepsi and Coca-Cola?

Easy, Pepsi is sweeter.

EDIT: and Starbucks coffee is bitter because it's espresso based.

Sour, on the other hand, is a different story.

As a southern girl I was raised on sweet tea and unsweet tea. :) I do like coffee but black with a lot of sugar. I mostly drink coffee in the fall and winter.

I agree with you, PP about RatBucks coffee. BUT, that said, I think the location of the beans can make a difference. I don't get it often (usually its a gift) but the stuff from Jamaica (Blue Mtn) is really something special. The soil must be very low acid, b/c the coffee is very smooth to drink. Since my prep method isn't different for Columbian or JBM, it can only be the bean difference.
