Works Much Better In A Press Than A Drip. The Fin
Works much better in a press than a drip. The finer points of coffee's character (sufficiently complex as to be rather mysterious, especially the aroma) are best revealed when brewed carefully by a press, and must be *coarse-ground,* using slightly more coffee to compensate for larger grounds. (I do not use a grinder for this but prefer to grind by hand to insure proper consistency.) This coffee is best for midday and not recommended after dinner (breakfast for daredevils). On the positive side, if only chlorinated tap water is available for brewing (yuck!) then the intense flavor will adequately mask inferior water without being unsavory or too strong; better water is, of course, preferred. Overall a very good midday coffee with unique characteristics although a bit on the pricey side, however, bargains can be found. I usually keep a quantity of whole beans on-hand for a change of pace.

The Staff At The Helensvale Starbucks Gold Coast S
The staff at the Helensvale Starbucks Gold Coast store are the some of the friendliest, most helpful people I have dealt with. It is always a pleasure to go there! Oh, and the coffee's not bad either. It is my favourite coffee hangout ever!

Good Idea To Make One Cup At A Time...or Serve The
Good idea to make one cup at a time...or serve the entire carafe at once....if it sits too long, it "turns" quickly and gets bitter, unless you can use a vacuum process coffee maker.

Gold Coast By Starbucks Is Another Excellent Starb
Gold Coast by Starbucks is another excellent starbucks coffee for the filter machine. It's strong and distinctive for after dinner coffee.
I disagree with this review because... I believe Gold Coast is unsuitable for the filter machine. Its more interesting qualities are lost in the drip process. Basically, when brewed by drip, the more subtle notes are overpowered by such a bold and distinctive flavor, and those more complex and mysterious qualities are what you're paying more money for. This coffee is best coarse ground in a press. If you're going to drip, then buy something cheaper that doesn't require attention to detail. On the other hand, I agree with the author's assessment that the coffee is too bold for after dinner use.
