Quality of coffee? Reviews and recommendations please!

[GalInSpace]

I've searched this forum and can't really find answers, so starting a new thread.

Aside from the Starbucks locations, what is the coffee like in the parks and restaurants? Any particularly good or bad? I know for sure I'll be breakfasting at Garden Grill and Tusker House and the QS at French Quarter. Should I switch to tea for the week?

Any info is welcome!

Sorry for the cynical post, but it’s bad, bad, and more bad.

I think Jofrey’s is what is served most places outside of Starbucks, and I’m not really a fan. I mean, it’s ok, just nothing to write home about.

The one exception that I know of is Kona Cafe at Poly and the little to-go spot right next to it. They have great coffee. I think they use real Kona coffee, or a Kona blend.

I also like Contempo Grounds in the lobby of CR, they make good/fresh espresso drinks.

Hope that helps!

That's what I figured.....thanks for the honest feedback!

We love the coffee at Kona, and The Wave also serves a pressed pot of coffee that is pretty good... but the brewed coffee everywhere else is pretty sad.

That said, in addition to the Starbucks in the parks, each park has one or more Joffrey's carts that can make espresso drinks. While not the best coffee we've ever had, these usually get us through the week.

The coffee at Disney owned restaurants and QS has improved since the early 2000s.

If you get Joffrey’s, it’s not bad, and I think that’s what they are serving now.

For many years, they served a horrific reconstituted Nescafé concentrate. That was some awful stuff. At least now it tastes brewed.

I agree that the Nescafe coffee was awful.

The bold are an interesting pair of statements. The brewed coffee served WDW wide IS Joffrey's. As is what they give you in the rooms.
Anything is better than what they had before Joffrey's got the contract.

I like joffreys just fine, both brewed and espresso.

I’m oretty sure that even the press pot blends are roasted by joffreys.

It’s a local Florida roaster. I think that’s pretty cool.

Might be a pain in the rear, but we'll be traveling with either our kurig or nespresso machine when we go wdw.

Pressed pot coffee at The Hollywood Brown Derby is very good. I personally like the Joffrey's packs used in the room at OKW; I found it to be very smooth and not much acid.

Not that interesting... personally I prefer espresso (in almost any form) over brewed coffee, especially weak brewed coffee.

I think that sums it up for me. Disney coffee is nothing to write home about but it gets the job done, and since the Joffrey's contract and the addition of Starbucks in the parks they're at least serving real coffee. Not like back when it was Nescafe!
