Have You Tried Organic Coffee?

I recently tried organic coffee and I love it. For decades, I was a dedicated Maxwell House fan. Now it tastes weak in comparison to organic coffees. First I sampled Paul Newman's Green Mountain coffee and it was so delicious! Now I am hooked.
I also got a voucher recently to Abe's Market (online organic store) through Care2. It was a sweet deal and I ordered their organic coffee. It was just as good as Green Mountain.
Now I am trying other brands at the local grocery store. It seems to be richer, more full-bodied and has a pure taste. The smell is also irresistible. Often it costs about a dollar more per can, but I find a use less to make a decent pot of coffee so the price is about the same as regular brands in the end.
Have you tried organic coffee? Good morning - tipping my cup of organic joe to everyone! (you've got to try it...)

Hey Mama!
I love the smell of coffee and the taste. I like to try different kinds of coffee. I buy the beans and grind them in my Magic Bullet so its alwasy fresh and delious!
So far I have discovered Bavarion Dark Chocolate, Hazelnut, French Vanilla, and Almond to name a few!
I like to make myself a drink which I call "good girl" , it is Bavarion Dark Chocolate or French Vanilla in a large coffee mug with Bailey's Irish cream, a splash of milk, topped with whip cream and sprinkles of dark chocolate on top! I sip this brew when kids are in bed and I am by myself to relax and enjoy! Because I have been a good girl...LOL

Fyre, you need to pass me a "good girl" later when the kids go to bed, I have been a very good girl :) Gosh, that sounds DELISH. Love chocolate and vanilla coffee - recently discovered the Godiva coffees, they are chocolate sin in a cup. I just got the pumpkin spice for fall - mmmmmmm! I haven't added Bailey's to any of them yet but it's a sweet idea - with some whipped cream and dark chocolate, totally decadent!
Never thought of grinding the beans in the Magic Bullet - hmmm, definitely has possibilities, I always buy it already ground. (still thinking of a "good girl," love the name)

I am addicted to coffee and I do not think I have tried organic coffee. Now I will have to try some! Thanks

I've tried it before while shopping at my local farmer's market and it tastes pretty good. It *is* pricer, but of course the upside is you're not in-taking any artificial fertilizers and pesticides. And like you said, I do taste a richer, more full-bodied taste in the organic blend.
I hear good things about Green Mountain coffee and I'll probably try it soon. Right now I brew Eight O'Clock coffee at home, and visit Starbucks at least once a week. ;)

I definitely agree with you, organic coffee can taste ten times better than something like a generic grocery store brand coffee. However I have also found that the brands of organic coffee differ in flavor greatly! When I first had organic coffee, I was in the same boat as you - the flavor and richness were overwhelming, and it was probably the tastiest cup of black coffee that I ever had. Of course thrilled at this discovery, I began trying all different brands of organic coffee, and unfortunately found that some of them can be pretty bland and tasteless. I'm not sure why this is the case, but I would say that if you have found a brand you like, stick with it! Overall I back your recommendation though - everyone should try organic coffee if they haven't, the strength of the taste difference alone can be eye-opening.
