Roast Blend
I'd like someone to briefly explain the different types of coffee.?
Like Breakfast Blend, French Roast, etc., I swear when I am out and drink coffee it tastes so much better than that which I brew at home. But when I'm in the grocery store I have no idea which to buy. What would be a common hotel type?
Depends what you like. Hotels like Marriot and Hilton choose a smooth blend, as it appeals to a broader audience. Some coffee drinkers choose a stronger blend (Starbucks).
Chances are if you like the hotel coffee, like I do, you prefer the smoother blends.
Get the small trial size bags of the folowing and see what you like best:
Any brand, or multiple brands' breakfast blends
Sumatra
Kenyan (African beans, very smooth)
Others that other people answering this question might recommend should come in the trial, foil, small bags as well.
I also recommend you walk down to the nearest Marriot or Hilton, and ask the conceirge or Front Desk where they get it (psst - pretend you're a guest).
The Hotels don't buy from the same suppliers you do at the grocery store. One supplier that does sell on the open market, if you can find it (pretty popular in NY) is Barney's. Their Kenyan and Kona brands are really smooth blends.
