I've worked at Starbucks for a while now, and I've had the chance to try a bunch of different coffees. If you're buying from a Starbucks store, Iwould definitely suggest the Arabian Mocha Sanani.

interesting... never (I don't think) tried coffee brewed from a percolator or a moka pot... I usually have my tea from a french press...
most of the coffee shops I go to use this method... a siphon coffee maker... tasty.

[h2]Saturday, April 26, 2008[/h2] http:// [h3]Ghetto Siphon Coffee[/h3]Several months ago I read an article in New York Times about a $20,000 Japanese siphon bar at Blue Bottle Cafe in San Francisco.
A siphon bar or vacuum coffee maker uses vapor pressure & vacuum force to brew coffee. Many believes this would give coffee a cleaner, crisp, rich & smooth taste.
As a coffee aficionado myself, I believe the attraction to siphoned coffee is purely based on placebo effect.
To prove my point, I have built my own vacuum coffee maker for using only a moka pot & a glass salt shaker. Of course, you can also purchase a Bodum Santos for less than $100, but where is the fun in that?

My total cost was much lower than $20,000. Granted, I did not have fancy glass globe as the water reservoir.

After filling moka pot's boiler with water, I placed empty salt shaker over the top & coffee ground around it.

Heat.

Similar to regular siphon coffee maker, water has expanded after heating & traveled upward into the upper chamber.

After removing the moka pot away from heat source, brewed coffee siphons back into lower chamber as it cools.

Voila! Now you can also enjoy the same kaleidoscopic beverage all the pretentious hipsters are raging about.
Obviously not exactly the same...but if you try it... def let me know if you can taste the difference
