We asked readers what their favorite coffee is and how to enjoy it.
Classics familiar to Finns were especially highlighted in the answers. However, one stands above the rest.
– Yes, the best filter coffee of the year year after year is Juhla Mokka.
– Traditional Juhla Mocha with milk and sugar.
– Party Mokka it has to be.
– Juhla Mokka in everyday life, sometimes Presidentti for festive moments.
– I have been drinking Juhla Mokka since I was 8 years old and I still drink it on my retirement days.
Not everyone appreciates the classics. Among other things, a nickname Alex does not like the taste of Juhla Moka.
– The best coffee in the store is Lavazza. Second, Segafredo. Juhla Mokka is one of the worst and one has to wonder what is wrong with Finns’ taste when they think it is good. Or it tells you that you don’t know any better, he shakes.

The price makes a difference
Several respondents say that the price of the package influences the choice of coffee more than the taste.

Although the majority of readers enjoy quite traditional coffees, there are also more adventurous ones.
– My husband and I are small-scale coffee connoisseurs. We always buy coffee as beans and grind them right before drinking. When we travel, we always try to visit a local coffee roaster and buy ourselves a bag of beans as a treat. We drink about 2–3 cups of coffee a day. Good coffee, says the name Meow.
Many respondents add milk to their coffee. Others enjoy their coffee only black. IL
