Coffee Talk.

[Papa Deuce]

How much do you drink, and what flavors / styles / blends do you drink?

I have about 3 cups of hot coffee a week. Usually a Kona or Kenya AA blend. I also have about 2 medium Dunkin' Donuts Iced coffees a week.... house blend.

My all time favorite coffee was from Belize. I got it while on my honeymoon. They didn't - maybe still don't - export it, but you could take home up to 5 pounds.... I would LOVE to have some of that again.

 

[Mom2Satan&Daisy]

Absolutely none. I don't even like the smell of coffee.

I am a tea drinker.

 

[Rafiki Rafiki Rafiki]

16 oz. of Community Coffee Dark Roast every day.

 

[cmonroe]

I drink, about 1-2 large coffees per day. Although usually one.
I too usually drink a dark roast of some kind. My current favorite is the dark roast by Peet's.

I gave up lattes about a year ago. I loved the drink, and drank them with skim milk, but it was just too much milk to consume daily per coffee for me.

I drink DD when I have to but honestly have to say, I've been drinking it so long, that I no longer enjoy the taste. IMHO DD does not make a consistent enough product. I order the same coffee at 4 different DD and they all taste different. That to me is a process problem. Whether it be cleaning of the equipment, the amounts of the ingredients, etc. I'm not sure.
I'm not snobby, I just like for my coffee to taste the way I expect it to taste.

Waaaayyyyyy too much! I make a 12-cup pot every day that is gone by 10am between DH & myself. Usually just coffee brands from the grocery store -Maxwell House, Eight O'Clock or New England brand. I do enjoy coffee from Cosi, a fast food chain around here like Panera, or Dunkin or Starbucks, if I'm not making it at home. Even McD's will do if I'm passing one & need a cup. I drink it black & as strong as humaly possible. I especially love it on day 2, if it's been sitting overnight, seems even stronger. If I want to mix it up I add Tastefully Simple Oh My Chai powder to it - double whammy of caffeine there!

The Caribbean has great coffees as well as South America.

It truly is a caffeine addiction. If I don't have my morning coffee I get the worst headache!

I was never a coffee drinker until I became a barista. Now I love a white choc. coconut latte. But, only from my shop...I can't stand the way chain stores espresso tastes.

 

[AmericangirlinFrance]

I drink probably 3 good size cups a day, and I grind my own beans every morning (makes a huge difference, I think!). I change types of coffee - I tend to like darker roasts. Right now I am drinking the Kroger brand Organic (Private Selection? Premium Selection? Something like that). It's pretty good. I like to buy Organic/Fair Trade coffee when I can. I drink it with Splenda and coffee creamer - right now, Pumpkin Spice! Yummm

 

[H.E. Pennypacker]

I drink anywhere from 16 ounces to 48 ounces a day during the week. (Depends on how many meetings I have at work. The more meetings I'm in, the more coffee I drink.) Most of the time it's just drip coffee, usually Papa Nicholas Hawaiian Islands Blenda (a Kona blend.) My favorite is Kona Blue Sky 100% Kona. On the weekends I usually get a large Dunkin Donuts coffee while I'm out. And then sometimes in the evenings, I'll whip up an espresso or a latte with some good Illy or Lavazza beans.

 

[bicker]

2-3 cups of Trader Joe's Columbian Supreme before breakfast. (During the summer, this is often last night's decaf mixed into a protein shake.) 1 cup of Peet's (regular) on getting to work. 4-5 cups of Peet's decaf between 9am and 5pm. 2-3 cups of Starbucks Decaf Verona after dinner. (During the summer, this is often iced.)

I always have nonfat non-dairy creamer (in hot coffee), because I prefer the taste more than milk or cream. I use unflavored for the Trader Joe's and Starbucks coffees, and do a half-Vanilla, half-unflavored mix for Peet's.

On the road, I like Lavazza at the rest stops; barring that, I go off-highway as needed to get Starbucks over Dunkin.


1 cup = 6 oz.

 

[Michelle67]

I drink a lot of coffee...I'm a coffee junkie. I like Ille when I can find it, but most of the time I just buy Safeway Select whole bean and make my own blend with a little bit of vanilla flavored and the rest whatever looks really dark and oily.

If I'm buying a latte I do not like Starbucks, can live with Forza, but usually prefer the places that use either Ille or Millstone.

 

[Kitty 34]

I love coffee but just good 'ole regular coffee, nothing flavored.

We did recently switch to Maxwell House as we (DH and I) swear Folgers got weaker.

I Love Coffee, I didn't start drinking it until I turned 30 I just drank tea before that, my mother is English so I just got used to drinking tea and still enjoy a cup everyday.
My favorite coffee is Ethiopia Yrgacheffe It's delicate sweet and smooth, not bitter or bold. I drink a couple of large cups every morning. Then I make loose green tea in the afternoon. I've bought it online for about 5 years now. I buy a big bag and give some beans to my family to share.

I'd drink more caffeine but it gets my heart pounding and my hands shaky.

 

[Yen Sid]

Love coffee, I even drank a lot of it while stationed in Iraq in the 125 degree heat. I usually make 3-4 pots a day at home for me and the wife but I drink most of it. We buy our own beans, French roast and grind them at home before we use them, use filtered water also. We also love going to Tim Hortons, we love their coffee very much and the little ones love getting TimBits.

 

[ylatan]

i love coffee, but i almost never drink it. i usually like to have it in the evenings, and only with silk french vanilla soy cream.

about 40 oz of coffee from waking up to around 11AM brews Arabian Sanani of Starbucks ~ extra Bold.... another 20 oz before going to work at 4PM

if work is slow.. usually moooooozy in at the mall and grab a venti caramel macchiato no sugar no foam extra shot of espresso... which would be good till midnite... and the cycle starts again when I wake up....


the day before a trip.... it would be about 4 venti's till I get to MCO... then I die for a moment since there is no strong coffee at WDW.... ....

alot suggested Jiko but have not tried it... soon... soon.. I will for now I have to be OK with Sealttle's Best at Virgin Atlantic at the West Side... when I am at the world also have ben bringing my own coffee when I am at a DVC resort... and brings my own coffee press when at POP...

 

[weregoingtodw]

Oh gosh, way, way too much, I'm sure....

I'm in love with several of the Trader Joe's coffees. Our regular is their Organic Ethiopian Fair Trade, but I'm also digging the holiday blends (Gingerbread and Wintry Blend). I also like a good Illy when I'm at a more upscale restaurant that serves it.

I fresh grind each time I make it, and use filtered water / french press.

 

[DISUNC]
