The Best Coffee is the Coffee You Enjoy

Coffee lovers, gather around! It’s time to put an end to the endless debates, the coffee snobbery, and the side-eye glances from baristas when you dare to add gasp cream and sugar. Because here’s the truth: the best coffee is the one you enjoy drinking, no matter what the self-proclaimed coffee elites might say.

The best coffee

Roasts: From Light to Dark and Everything In-Between

Do you like your coffee light and bright, with delicate floral notes and a citrusy zing? Fantastic! Are you more of a dark-roast enthusiast, preferring a deep, smoky cup that could practically double as jet fuel? Also fantastic! Maybe you like something in the middle, with caramelized sweetness and a balanced profile. Guess what? That’s fantastic, too!

Let’s not pretend that one roast is superior to another. It’s all about what makes your taste buds do a happy dance. And if you haven’t tried Rocket Smoked Coffee, well, you’re in for a treat. We take high-quality beans and infuse them with just the right touch of cherry or plum wood smoke, creating a coffee that’s smooth, slightly sweet, and utterly unique. (And yes, it’s fantastic!)

Brewing Methods: Choose Your Weapon

Ah, the brewing wars. Some people swear by their French press, claiming it’s the only way to extract the true essence of coffee (me). Others stand firm on the precision of pour-over, while die-hard espresso fans will tell you that anything else is just weak bean water. Then there’s the drip coffee crowd, who get sneered at despite the fact that most people grew up on a good ol’ Mr. Coffee machine.

Let’s get one thing straight: if it makes coffee, it’s valid. Whether you’re pulling an espresso shot with a machine that costs more than your rent or tossing some instant coffee into hot water like a caffeine-deprived survivalist (been there done that in the back country - fantastic!), it’s all coffee.

Bean Origins: The Global Coffee Playground

Some people swear that Ethiopian coffee, the grand daddy of them all, is the pinnacle of greatness. Others are devoted to Guatemalan beans, while some won’t drink anything that isn’t from a single-origin, shade-grown farm on a remote mountainside where the beans are serenaded by classical music. (Okay, we made that last part up… or did we?)

But here’s the thing—every coffee-growing region brings something special to the table. African coffees can be bright and fruity, South American beans are often nutty and chocolatey, and Asian varieties can be deep and earthy. It’s like picking a favorite child—it’s just not fair. Instead of arguing about which country grows the "best" coffee, why not appreciate the glorious variety available to us? And if you’re looking for something truly unique, Rocket Smoked Coffee takes single-origin beans and gives them a flavor twist like no other. (Bet you didn’t see that plug coming!)

The Best Coffee is the coffee you like

Milk, Sugar, and Other Scandalous Additions

Look, if you love black coffee, drink it black. If you enjoy a triple-shot, caramel-mocha-frappé with extra whipped cream, go for it. Life is too short to drink coffee you don’t love. The idea that you’re only a "real" coffee drinker if you take it black is just plain nonsense. Enjoy your coffee however you like it, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

Final Thoughts: Celebrate Coffee in All Its Forms

Coffee is one of the most versatile, customizable, and personal beverages in the world. There’s no "right" way to drink it—only your way. Whether you sip a lightly roasted pour-over, indulge in a heavily creamed and sugared cold brew, or savor the rich, smoky notes of Rocket Smoked Coffee, the only thing that matters is that you love what’s in your cup.

So, raise your mug to coffee in all its glorious forms. Whether it’s espresso, drip, French press, or cowboy coffee over a campfire, one thing is for sure: the best coffee is the coffee you enjoy drinking. Cheers!
