I'm a coffee snob. Okay, don't turn up your nose at me. I'll bet YOU are a snob about certain things too. The other day my daughter-in-law was mentioning that she is buying Kroger brand stuff. The kids are doing the Dave Ramsey money thing and she found that her food budget did much better when she bought the store brand instead of name brand.Labels: coffee snob, cuisinart coffee maker

Colleen Coble writes romantic suspense with a strong atmospheric element. A lovable animal of some kind--usually a dog--always populates her novels. She can be bribed with DeBrand mocha truffles.
Denise Hunter writes women's fiction and love stories with a strong emotional element. Her husband says he provides her with all her romantic material, but Denise insists a good imagination helps too.
Diann Hunt writes romantic comedy and humorous women's fiction. She has been happily married forever, loves her family, chocolate, her friends, chocolate, her dog, and well, chocolate.
Cheryl Hodde writes romantic medical suspense under the pen name of Hannah Alexander, using all the input she can get from her husband, Mel, for the medical expertise. For fun she hikes and reads. Out of guilt, she rescues discarded cats. She and Mel are presently taking orders from four pampered strays.

I'm something of a coffee snob myself. If it ain't Folgers, I might drink it but I probably won't like it quite as much.
I'm a chocolate snob. I'll eat the other stuff, but I won't delight in it unless it's Debrand. www.debrand.com Their caramel apples are to die for!
How did I forget to mention Debrand? I'm as fanatical about that as I am about my coffee!
Smart man, Timothy! :)
Book snob...or rather, writer snob? I know the writers I like, and will seldom try new ones because I've been disappointed so many times. If these writers, whom I trust, recommend someone new, then I'll try a book or two.
I think you and I could drink coffee together. I can do store brands....but not on coffee. Ever. My husband is super tight, always looking for a deal, and coffee he does not skimp on. :)
Totally with you on the peanut butter!!! And I would say I'm a cheese snob... I can't stand anything like 'processed cheese product'... I will pay whatever for real cheese, and my favorite is triple creme' brie! SO YUM!!
I'm like that with tea. I only like black tea. No green, white or rooibos for me. The only Chai tea I like is Tazo. For the rest of it I pretty much like loose leaf tea that I find in small tea shops.
When I go on a trip I take my own plug-in water boiler, my own teabags, my own sweetener and even a gallon of my own water.
I agree with being a book snob,
and being a soup snob, oh a TP snob bigtime! :)
Long live Jif! :)
I've tried and tried mixing the natural stuff and I just can't do it. Almond butter I can. But not peanut.
Call me spoiled but I am both a coffee and tea snob.
Contrary to most people, I HATE Starbucks Coffee! Just the thought of it nearly makes me gag. I buy my coffee from a group of hermits in Wyoming. The brand is "Monks Coffee" and they make the most amazing blends on the planet! The price is definitely worth it.
I also only drink one brand of tea: Revolution Tea. I discovered it in the grocery store but found the online store has every flavor in every line available. Among the only teas I drink are Earl Gray Lavendar, Tropical Green (you can see the fruit peelings!), and White Tea with Pear. These flavors are so addictive that I drink at least one cup, if not more, every day. Thankfully, my DH doesn't mind shelling out for the tea, either.
My husband is a snob on almost everything he consumes. I decided after testing him that he's a "super taster." When he was a little boy, his mom was a head cook for the school. She would sometimes get chips on discount to bring home. She would put the chips into the Lay's bag and then try to pass them off as the real thing.
She never could fool him in any way. (And I have a chili story from when we were first married....)
You super tasters are not fooled. According to you all, there are differences....LOL.
Jif, that's about it. Beyond that, I'm easy to please. :-)

Ah- coffee. Gift of the gods. I am a coffee snob and I wear the label proudly. Roast my own and french press, thankyouverymuch. If you are really looking to save money, look into roasting your own. Very easy to do, and green coffee beans typically cost half of what the pre-roasted stuff does. Tons of coffee to experiment with to find what you like- Ethiopian, Kenyan, Brazilian, Mexican, Indonesian... And you can't beat your own coffee roasted yesterday for freshness!
