Speaking about Starbucks.....


My wife and I went to NYC before X-mas. We stopped in for a starbucks coffee. Cant justify it regularly but a Caramal Machiato (sp?) is a nice treat when cold out. We continued to walk and passed 3 more starbucks before we finished ours. It was a hoot!!!

 

I like Madagliadoro beans. Ground fine. Brewed strong. I like to polute mine with little sugar and some of that vanilla Coffee Mate. If it's after dessert at home, I'll add a shot of Baileys Irish Creme. If i'm out in the morning, I'll stop by our local coffee house (nothing like that nasty old Starbucks! ). I usually have a double shot of espresso with a pinch of cinammon and sugar. I typically have 2-4 cups of coffee a day. Can't function in the morning w/o it. And if I don't have another by about 1:00pm, I'm ready for an afternoon nap!

I tend to have different coffee's depending on what time of day it is. I've had so many Venti double shot mochas (extra hot!) at the Terminal 2 arrivals level Starbucks that the kid just makes it while I'm in line and hands it to me

 

If you're a coffee fan and don't mind spending the money every once in a while, I suggest Jamaican Blue Mountain. It's probably one of the best coffees I've had... but for $50/lb it's a rare treat.

Personally, I drink it black and about four cups a day.

Consumer Reports a few months back had a coffee bean test that placed that old, grocery store staple, "Eight O' Clock" at the the top of the bean pile. I always assumed this brand was down there with the stuff they swept up from the roasting room floors at the end of the day. Out of curiosity, I bought a bag to try and lo and behold, it was just as good as any of the pricier brands I've tried in the past.

 

Folgers is my choice, and I drink 6-10 cups a day, with nothing in it. I usually buy and make most of the coffee for the crew at work, since I drink most of it anyway. My whole family consumes a lot of coffee. I got to drinking some flavored coffee for a while, but my brother gripped and complained about it so much that I quit serving it. I can usually tell when someone makes Maxwell House instead of Folgers. It doesn't taste bad, but It just ain't what I'm used to. I don't cull many brands. Home and work I use a drip coffee maker. It's hard to believe but we don't have a Starbucks in this town, yet.

 

Starbucks house blend which has to be ground too. As for how two sugars and a little coffeemate french vanilla creamer(not the powder stuff either).

 

I take the stainless steel stanley along in the truck everyday. That lasts about 4 hours. Hills Bros, Folgers, or sometimes Maxwell House, it just depends on what Jane brings home. On the weekends when I can enjoy a cup or two it's the pricer stuff and it has to be black. Not much for the flavored drinks, but then I don't wear a skirt either.

 

When I was on deployment I had my wife send 8 O'clock Coffee. Waaaay better than Folger's or whatever kind of swill they were making on the mess decks...

i drink any kind, any time of day. usually about 25 cups a day on average. black, and black only. am i addicted? i do believe i am

 

got a coffee mug and a bag of gourmet coffee for x-mas. best coffee I ever had.don't know what brand or where to get it but I intend to find out.I drink 5-6 cups a day. and I only put coffee in my coffee.

 

Am I the first one to say TIMMY's. It's a canuck thingy doughnut chain coffee. I buy the preground stuff to make at home or go thru the drive thru when needed. If I could just bypass the stomach and inject the stuff into a vein I would. As far as Starbuck's goes, in my opinion they're overated.
