Also, the point about “ARABICA” beans or grounds is true. Just like your hot dogs, you should use the best coffee too. This you can find out from coffee shops wanting to serve the best consistent beans they can purchase. Ask them!   ….

  I don’t like ARABICA coffee.  I tried it when I was in Saudi Arabia, didn’t like it.   But, found that blending Arabica and Colombian made a very good cup.   Maxwell House changed from a blend to 100% Arabica about 2008/2009.      … I dranked Foulgers (colombian blend) until the price of coffee went up. I now drink Walmart’s Master Chef. A good coffee blend at 1/2 the price and equal to many restaurant house coffees.
