Any Coffee Drinkers?

dalgal26

I just recently jumped on the coffee bandwagon. I now really enjoy that morning cup of coffee. I use plain ole Folgers but I add a tablespoon of DeVinci SugarFree Flavored Syrups. Caramel and Hazelnut are my favorite. But, I do like the Vanilla at times. And the best part, calorie free. WooHoo!:drinker:

I like Gevalia but I can buy it in the stores locally. I like Green Mountain and a Company called Door County. Door County has a flavor called Chocolate Cookie Dough that I love!

I drink Cameron's Kona Blend, this is what I'm drinking right now. I do like Dunkin Doughnuts coffee also. Now and then I'll stop at Starbucks for the FUFU coffee. I drink the Triple Tuxedo Mocha there. But my Kona blend is best for me. Tastes really good. Oh yeah,I also use sweet and low,no cream.

Well, I've eventually migrated to Starbucks (assuming you are speaking of nationally available brands). Moved away from Folgers, never thought a lot about Dunkin Donuts (mixed feelings at best). There are some local blends/roasts that are particualrly good but unless you wish to mail-order.

So my Starbucks preference is as follows:

Tribute (only available periodically and supply of the 2012 blend is nearly exhausted), a great four-bean blend of a medium roast.
Gold coast (also known as "Morning Joe" blend),a darker roast.

Pike Place: I'm really glad that Starbucks came up with a medium roast coffee of this consistency for both their stores and for general distribution. I probably drink more of this in a year than anything else (it is what we serve in our coffee room at work).

House Blend- very similar to Pike Place and a medium roast.

Christmas Blend -only avaialble at Christmas and a dark roast

cafe Verona- dark Italian Roast

Fair trade Italian roast.

I like the "blonde roasts" but generally serve that to my non-Starbucks friends that balk at the stronger taste of the darker roasts (though to be honest, most of those people like the darker roast coffees when they are fresh and well-brewed...which I contend is an absolute necessity).

Finally, when I'm traveling and there is no coffee shop nearby there is always Via which I have found to be a great cup of coffee from an instant.

I usually try to find whole bean over ground but some blends that I do enjoy are only ground available. I do use filtered refrigerator water and I use a percolator.

I did notice walking through the coffee isle one day that Derp-Mart (Wal-Mart) sold Gevalia. The bag look luring but at the same time skeptical.

Invest in a Keurig and keep a variety of flavors. BELIEVE ME. It will change your life.

My favorites are Tully's Italian Roast, Donut House, and Dark Magic.

I am assuming here but wouldn't Keurig cups have more of a cheap plastic taste? I've seen them and have seen people use but I always shunned them.

Not at all. Every single cup is hot and fresh. Use distilled water in the maker. Every cup comes out spectacular.

I guess when I the lottery I will look into investing in one maybe. My 20 dollar percolator is more appealing.

I've been using a french press. Will be reading this thread for recommendations on that!

I love a strong flavor of coffee, not too bitter, or with a watery or metal taste. Yuck! So I filter the water and add a little cream and (sometimes) sugar.


By no means am I addicted to coffee but when I was working it was my morning and midmorning ritual!

Well my favorite is Mary Lous but that is local. Other than that Im quite fond on Maxwell House Hazelnut

I wished our city had more of an open coffee shop. Instead of just being a particular brand of coffee. And I know retail stores only sale what is "popular".

missjewl

I drink folgers perc straight up black no sugar. i fill water to just above the 10 cup mark and put in 4tbsp grounds.

When I was in vet school in Athens, GA, there was a local coffe shop there called "Jittery Joe's" where we used to go & study. That is my favorite coffee...they make a killer skinny turtle....now I order the coffee online & have it shipped to me. They will ship it ground or whole, whichever you order. I like supporting the local vendor & I love the coffee...I like it better than Starbucks now. Some people say they think it is more bitter, but I think the flavor is much better. They also have a bike racing team & one of the coffee's goes to help support the team. They have one called "Whopass"...I think that is funny....they have a website if you are intrigued....

This millstone chocolate velvet is okay. I'm a little worried about that 'natural flavor' ingredient. Why can't they just throw some coco powder in it and be done with it?

I like Dunkin Donuts coffee, too.

I drink it with milk right now, using it as meal replacements, seems to be working. Of course I take my multivitamin and make my third meal an actual meal. I figure it can't be worse for me than a diet shake and it's a lot cheaper.

I only drink Tim Hortons. I am addicted. I have 6 cups every morning...that equals 2 big mugs...lol.... I brew my own which makes it affordable....:)

LivingstonIpresume

I drink folgers because work gives it to us for free. I usually put in sugar and creamer and have 16oz cup a day. Other then that I usually just drink water and milk. Boring but sufficient

MizSaz

Cameron's Caramel brownie and New England Coffee Rainforest Nut are my 2 faves right now. Black, no sugar.

Peet's Major D!ckason's !!

I used to buy whatever's on sale. But, I won some Peet's in a raffle. Wow.

I just drink folgers half caff with a packet of splenda and sometimes I'll blend it with almond milk. I like it because caffiene gives my heart palpultations and decaf is gross

ShyFeather

I love coffee ^^ That's why my cat's name is Java

I drink Foldgers Columbian roast everyday. Even though my family will have a lot of cups everyday, I've only been able to drink 1 or 2 a day. Made it easy when I changed my lifestyle as I didn't have to cut back. Now I just use sugar free creamers and a packet of Truvia.

Yup :-) Forgot they are in RI now

MTRUJILLO1986

there is a healthier coffee that I use. My favorite is Mocha, I add some hazelnut cream to it. check out the website http://yourbenefits.organogold.com. They offer a variety of flavors.

talkingtohope

milk or cream, no sugar.......no powdered or flavored creamers

at home, I use a Flavia individual cup brewing machine.......love the packets of French Roast and many others.

at home, also have a drip pot - use fresh chocolate raspberry beans, grind them and brew........sensational.

at home, also have a stove top espresso maker......mmmmm with a twist of lemon.

at work, we have a couple of Starbucks on-site.......double tall decaf latte is my order

after dinner out, cappucino or espresso.

Tenoreo90

8 O'clock, with a little bit of non-dairy powdered creamer. I ground my own beans this way.

Dunkin Donut's blend is good, too. :]

If it's Folgers or coffee from my work I HAVE to have a flavored creamer in it. Otherwise I feel it just ruins coffee.

Tat2dDom624

We mostly use Gevalia coffee, but once in a while we'll use coffee from Target (which isn't bad). I use sugar-free creamer from Coffee Mate, but when i'm at work i'll drink it black with some sugar in it.
