Favorite Coffee....or Tea
« on: November 09, 2009, 08:20:58 PM »
On the run, I prefer Dunkin Donuts...at home...I like Chock full o'Nuts or a flavored coffee from Target's brand....usually chocolate rasberry.  I do like Barnie's White Christmas blend as it has a hint of coconut.

I like Starbuck's specialty drinks, but their regular coffee tastes like tar....

Last time I was in Jamaica, I bought a few Blue Mountain coffee packs....not all it is hyped to be.

Any coffee snobs here? :-)

Seattle's Best or Tulleys.

Not a fan of Tarbucks. I'll only go there if I have no other choice.

Oh for the days I can move back to Seattle again with a coffee stand on every corner. Guess I'll have to settle for my Thanksgiving trip in a couple of weeks.

Caribou Original, Caribou Daybreak and Coffee People's Kona Blend are some that I'm digging right now.

On the run, 7-11. But at home, whatever is on sale. I am a sucker for flavored creamers. Vanilla or Hazelnut.

Coffee...COFFEE NOW!!!

(I loved PCU)

And yeah, when I can afford it, I get a couple of pounds of Kimo Bean 100 percent Kona Peaberry.  Not cheap, but yum.

And when I can't, Folgers Black Silk or Dunkin Donuts darker roasts.  I rarely buy coffee out of the house.  It's either what I have at home or what they have in the shop.

Since they've gone to their regular Pikes Peak version, I haven't minded it. On days when I forget my Folgers, I buy a cup of that and it suits me fine.

When they used to have a "coffee of the week" or day or whatever, I found I could never find one that I liked. They all tasted burnt to me.

Since my wife hates the smell of coffee, I don't get any in the luxury of my own home.  In the office, I usually buy Boyers Java Blend and make it double strength.

I spent too many years in Germany:

Jakobs Kronung or Tchibo

Going grocery shopping on a Saturday morning and walking by a Bäckerei - I dare you, especially when the coffee is brewing. It's like I died and went to heaven.

Here in the U.S. where coffee is gauged by how much crap people can stuff in it, I'll take 8 o'Clock French Roast - whole beans only.

Mrs E and I grind our own beans.

Oh, and I drink my coffee black. Don't even think of putting that goop in my coffee.

I'm like D6's wife....can't even stand the smell of coffee or even mocha flavored stuff.

I do love Starbucks Double Chocolatey Chocolate Chip frappacinos with no whip. They are like rich chocolate milk blended with ice. It's the only thing I will get from Starbucks....I don't even like their tea.

I'm an herbal tea drinker...I know, I know, it's not the real thing. But I like Bigelow's or Lipton's....apple cinnamons, orange, lemon. And I like Constant Comment decaffeinated, but I rarely drink it any more. I only drink tea hot, with a little bit of Splenda. Before I gave up the real thing....I loved Constant Comment.

Pilot has the best hot chocolate. Mix in some of their French Vanilla creamer and it's awesome.  It also has a gazillion calories.  ::) It's a treat if I'm out and about and the weather's cold.

I do not require any additives in my coffee.  Straight black is good for me. 

If money is not an option I will purchase a Sumatran blend, or Kona.  Blue Mountain is ok.

Community Coffee~ New Orleans Blend with Chicory is my standby at home. 

I also only drink Luzianne black tea for my iced tea.

Almost any true Kona or Jamaican Blue Mountain, med roast. Haven't had any in years.

100% of course.

Dunkin' Donuts...one of the franchised stores close to me sells all sizes of their coffee for .99, including the xtra large so it's become my morning routine. I love their coffee and when I had a coffee maker, I would make it at home. I waste too much coffee brewing it though so this works out better for me.

Aside from that, I actually like Starbucks Pikes Peak as well.

There is a local coffee shop by my house too that also has excellent coffee.

Either way, I like half and half and splenda in mine :cheersmate:


Oh and I also love Starbucks seasonal drinks. Peppermint or gingerbread..the yum!

I'm not a coffee snob.

I just roast my own and own a super-automatic espresso machine that cost more than many people's cars.

I like the Indonesian coffees, particularly the Sumatras.

I also like Yemeni and Ethiopian coffees, but they are getting silly in price.
