MAYBE if you drink it with sugar and milk it tastes ok but for me, I drink my coffee black, no sugar their coffee is bitter. When in the states I prefer Dunkin Donuts coffee by a long shot.
Same here. We always mule DD coffee back when we visit the US, and have all our visitors carry it down as well.MAYBE if you drink it with sugar and milk it tastes ok but for me, I drink my coffee black, no sugar their coffee is bitter.

I'm trying to determine the meaning of Caracolillo. Anyone knowSome of the best coffee I've ever had was the Monte Alto special stuff I used to get from my good friend in Jarabacoa (I can't believe I don't remember the name of that coffee!)
I've been buying Cafe Caracolillo by Cafe Santo Domingo the last few months. Good enough for me.
Does anyone here realize how many brands of coffee Induban (Cafe Santo Domingo) produces? Eight different brands!
Since buying my Keurig coffee machine that uses the pods I have been buying so many different types of coffee pods online, always the mixed boxes and are between 80-100 pods for around U$30 I don't drink coffee anywhere else. There are so many brands to choose from you never get tired of them...and the coffee is ready in less than 2 minutes. Including the shipping each cup of coffee costs less than 50 cents. After drinking percolated Santo Domingo brand coffee for the last 15 years, this makes a really nice change! Don't get me wrong though, Dominican coffee is still one of the best.
Have you tried using the refillable plastic pods with local coffee?
Is that how much a cup of coffee is there? Last one I went to a medium cup of coffee was $2 bucks. Was a few years ago.In Santo Domingo there are plenty of Dominicans who would pay 6 bucks for a cup and coffee and not even think twice about it. Starbucks will just be another place to be seen in SD.
The percolator works best because of the coarser grind of the coffee, kinda running hot water and coffee over it repeatedly.Yes, I use the refillable pods with Santo Domingo brand coffee too but I actually prefer using the percolator for that. The percolator runs hotter so you get a better cup of coffee than using the refillable pod. I am guessing the granules in the pre filled pods are a little different to the Santo Domingo ground coffee.
BTW: I may have 100lbs of Olivo coffee. The plantation is producing again.

Be still my heart.......
The best coffee I’ve ever had in DR was made by Mr AE’s mother. Campo style, no greca for her. Regular Santo Domingo coffee. She boiled it on the stove , with sugar, in a large metal cup. Then she filtered it through what I called “the sock”, which was a long cotton filter she sewed herself onto the frame of a small strainer, which sat on a metal frame. She had two steel cups, and she caught the filtered coffee in one, then switched and ran the coffee/sugar mix through the sock again. Always perfect.

Think about re-grinding the coffee into a finer powder, THEN put into those "pods."
I have noticed Dominican coffees are a coarser grind than many US offerings.
I re-grind Dominican coffee for a more robust drip coffee.

Dominicans are fast lerners.Exactly, they will pay the $6 for a cup a coffee, whip out their laptop and look important for the entire afternoon.
I'm still saying prayers for a McDonalds and Krispy Kreme on the North Coast - Puerto Plata, Sosua or Cabarete
Dutch Brothers (drive-thru only) make way better coffee than Starbucks as does McDonalds and Dunkinv Donuts....Bill wow Krispy Creme you are hard core...that goes right to plaque in your veins.....about the coffee, not saying starbucks wont work here but their coffee in the USA where I am from is sub standard...in the small town in Colorado I came from out of 3 coffee places...starbucks last then caribou ,,...then the best one that is really going strong.. Dunn brothers........

Can't help it... Cafe Santo Domingo? Uh huh. It is stuffed with fillers. Sad! Drink Bustelo.
