Dunkin does have good coffee. I've never bought it for home use, but have occasionally stopped in for a cup. Their coffee is much better than their donuts.

I don't know if anybody knows the answer to this, but I occasionally buy a cup of coffee from the little coffee trucks on the street (I've bought it in New York, Philly, etc.) They usually sell bagels, muffins, and other street type food. I have to say, truck coffee is consistently awesome. I have no idea what brand they use, but it must be cheap because they sell the brewed coffee really cheap. It's better than most coffee from expensive places.
Does anyone know what they use? I never remember to ask when I am buying it.0 -

I love that one too but I prefer it iced.
I don't drink coffee myself, but I know a ton of coffee snobs. They swear on fair trade, independent coffee shops. No brand names, but Ethiopian is a type that is popular. Columbian sometimes too. They grind the beans right before making it, and measure the temperature of the water right before putting it through the coffee press. No coffee filters or machine-brewed coffee for them, lol.
My husband and I get most of our coffee from a local roaster and the fair trade Ethiopian is my favorite. I'm sure the conventional is also delicious but for coffee and chocolate I try to stick to fair trade when possible and practical because coffee farmers deserve fair pay and decent working conditions too. I also feel better about buying from small businesses but that's really neither here nor there.
Despite the fancy presses we use (a couple different versions) and the wild experiments with temp and amount of coffee and whatever I else, I still prefer my coffee with milk and sometimes honey or sugar. And I usually use the Keurig.0 -

I am currently drinking kirkland signature rwanda coffee. I use an aeropress to make my coffee. I love that I have full control over the brew temp and time - I get the flavor that I am looking for.0

Over here in Oregon, most of the businesses/stands that I have worked with use Farmer Brothers coffee.
But I will drink any kind of coffee black if I really need the caffeine ;-), and I generally order it that way when I am out and about. I also prefer darker roasts, to really put "hair on your chest". At home I add 1/4-1/2 c soy milk (15-30 cals), some Torani sugar free syrup, and a bit of Stevia. My big-o cup of coffee is all of 40 calories or less.

Thanks! I will look into that.
FYI, I usually drink it black but like "fun" coffee on occasion. I have tried Torani and liked it. I think it tastes the same as Davinci. But then I tried Jordan's Skinny Syrups and I swear they taste better even though they all seem to have about the same ingredients. If I accidentally use too much Torani, I notice an artificial taste. With Jordan's I don't. You may want to give it a try sometime. They're also cheaper. $3.99 a bottle at Home Goods (the cheapest place I've found them) vs. $5.99 for Torani and Davinci.0 -
I like moderately strong Italian/German coffee brands, like Lavazza and Dallmayr. I get them from Amazon. I cut out as much saturated fat from my diet as I possibly could in prep for a cholesterol re-screening (long story..), and got used to black coffee in about 4-5 days. I can't drink it any other way now - I find the mouthful too oily.0

Seattle's Best is probably one of my favorites, but Caribou and Kaldi brands also are pretty good (and can be slightly pricey, but worth it, I think!)0

I just log my creamer and move on. But when we go to the NC mountains wo go to the local coffee shop and buy a coffee called Black Widow and that I can drink black.0

I use flavoured coffee but I brew it with half flavoured/half regular. I then sweeten/dilute with a tablespoon of skim milk and a sweet creamer (fat free creamer). I can't drink straight or else I get really bad reflux. I usually only drink one cup a day so my calories from my coffee are pretty low.0

Have always had my coffee black. Eight o:clock whole bean ground fresh daily and brewed with distilled water. Lately with 2 tbs of fresh heavy cream to keep fat intake up. Seems easy so I must be doing something wrong.0

7-11 isn't bad either especially first thing in the morning.0

I'm not really a coffee snob and I don't drink coffee black...I usually drink espresso with whole milk or soy. My favorite is the Trader Joe's organic fair trade Five Country Espresso blend and Lavazza Tierra Intenso espresso.0

If you're needing fat try that thing with the coconut oil and butter or whatever...it sounds so good but I don't have the calories for it. Bullet coffee maybe?0 -
I got hooked on Kona coffee a few years ago while visiting Hawaii. Stuff can get kinda pricey though if you get really good authentic stuff. If I'm gonna add anything to it, it's heavy whipping cream0

This is the road I'm heading down... but I really enjoy Folgers and New England Blend Hazelnut...

Day 44 streak, down 13 lbs and within 10 to 15 to my perceived optimal weight. Calorie counting (in and out) with fitbit surge and a gradual increase in activity. Keto ratios can be a bit tricky so when I find something that works, hard to vary. And, each meal variation is a learning experience so there have been some trial and errors. I shouldn't knock butter in coffee til I've tried it But ... lol Thanks for the feedback 0 -
I love Gevalia0

The best coffee I have ever had was kona sweet from Hulu Daddy. I just looked and it is $69.95/lb. I wish I could afford to drink that every day!0
