wow cruiser maiden you seem picky about your coffee
i do love my coffee tho, im not very picky but i like to make it strong and need one cup before i start functioning and usually drink a 2nd cup before i leave the house, i need to have creamer in it but no sugar.
My absolute fave coffee in MCd's coffee, i think its awesome!
....and i dont really see what all the hype is about starbucks coffee, i dont care for it at all.
Coffee and tea snob here ... VERY spoiled ... One place he roasts coffee on site .. I have light roast in a latte and dark strait up ... Tea place some of the herbals are locally grown and dried the others are locally dried and blended by hand ....
I love good coffee! No sugar, but with lots of milk. I love lattes: skinny, extra-hot, and easy (foam).
I also like this, it is sweetened with apple juice, contains vitamins and protein, and tastes exactly like a StarBucks Frappuccino but without the high-fructose corn syrup. A yummy treat. http://www.bolthouse.com/html/cs_mocha_n.html
Starbucks is burnt, they roast too fast in order to get volume.
I remember when Starbucks was a tiny, mom & pop roaster in the Pike Place Market, their coffee was good then, corporate greed ruined their coffee.
Interestingly, Consumer Reports recently released coffee findings, Starbucks did not even make the list, but MacDonald's, and Dunkin Donuts did.
8 o'clock coffee in the can from the store shelves took the top spot.
I prefer Folgers if I'm buying mass produced coffee, if I want a gourmet coffee, I try to find organic free trade whole bean stuff.
My draw to Starbucks has always been that I can get a flavored coffee beverage (that I donâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t have to make myself) from a drive through. Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]m really not a fan of their coffee in itself, just the convenience I think. I havenâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t gone there in months except the couple times by b/f brought me something from there.
8 Oâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]Clock coffee is my favorite. The b/f has been buying some Blue Mountain Blend from Aldi, it is ‘okâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji] but I donâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t like it nearly as much!
i usually drink a dark roast generic brand of coffee at home, but all this talk about 8 oclock coffee, i might be buying that at the grocery store this weekend
I have become addicted to coffee lately!! I need something to get me going through the day and it is too cold for energy drinks! We have sorta like a starbucks at my college, but I just get the regular Verona Bold kind or w/e. But i am bad, because they offer 4 different kinds of creamers (the tater choice Irish cream, hazelnut, chocolate, adn regular) i put a lot in and a lot of sugar (sometimes splenda) to make it sweet lol. But they are cheap and delicious!
I drink Gevalia coffee. We rotate between Mocha, Irish Cream, French Vanilla and Chocolate Rasberry. Occasionally we will brew regular coffee and I will use irish cream favored creamer. I use creamer and sweet n low in it.
My niece-in-law to be (on 2/21!) grew up in Hawaii so I called and asked if her dad could bring me a couple of pounds of whole bean 100% Kona. That will be a great treat.
I just drink Folgers Classic Roast with cinnamon sprinkled on the grounds before it drips.
Then I add milk (evaporated fat-free) and sugar. Sometimes I substitute ground cardamon for the cinnamon.
It's important to clean your coffee machine (not just the carafe) regularly to prevent harsh, burned tasting coffee.
Love coffee, and I'm not picky on the brand. If I'm treating myself to some non-regular ground coffee, I like hazelnut, irish cream and butter pecan.
I drink both instant ( Has to be Nescafe Rich) (I also really like the different flavors Nescafe has for instant now too) and ground ( currently Folgers).
We just buy major brands at the grocery store. I like cream and sugar, I also like some of the flavored cream but not very often. My DH used to be a sales rep for a major commercial coffee company and I was always the outcast at company parties for "ruining" thier good cofee with cream and sugar
I won't drink it at work, yuck, but sometimes stop at 7-11, they make good coffee.
I used to drink 8 o'clock coffee and it is really good. It is better than the other regular supermarket coffees. The grocery store I go to sells a storebrand version of it called Spotlight and I can't tell the difference. I started using that to save a little money.
