Morning coffee

Just curious what your brand is.

On my work days, I normally stop by Starbucks to get the 12oz Pikes roast to wake me up. That normally does it for the whole shift.

Right now, I have a blend I use at home. A mix of 80% Dunkin Donuts medium roast and 20% Texas Pecan. Dang tasty.

Just curious what you guys normally get.

starbucks on my way to work: tall blonde roast coffee, 1 sugar, non fat milk.

4x a week for 2 months and they know me by name

At home I have a cup of Folgers medium roast instant coffee.

adouglas · July 9th, 2012, 09:29 AM

Folgers instant? Ew.

Coffee is my one remaining vice and I drink a lot of it. Black. No sugar. Just pure caffeine, baby.

Peet's Major Dickason's blend is my preferred poison.

Unfortunately my wife lost her job several months ago so we're in spending lockdown and I'm dutifully plowing my way through a giant canister of ground Folgers' she had bought for her workplace. It's dreadful. Can't wait til it's done.

Illy espresso from the machine in my kitchen, either as a double shot or as a latte depending on if I'm in a rush or not.

coffee break is Kenco or carte noir instant or whatever crap the espresso machine in work puts out (the instant is better... that's a sad state of affairs)

depends on the time of the year, of course. im a coffee snob. used to drink illy espresso, switched to a local grown and roasted bean ground at home for some nice drip. now i drink crap global drip coffee someone makes at work. i think its maxwell house.

it has caffeine, im satisfied.

I love Dunkin coffee. There isn't one near me here in Houston. Last trip my wife and I made to Boston, we were hitting up Dunkin' daily. She was getting spoiled by the coffee there. Plus, she said they made it just "perfect".

Dunkin Donuts seems to have gotten popular lately mostly because of their coffee. They just built one really close to my job/house. I wouldn't call myself a coffee drinker, but I am tempted to try it assuming it isn't as ridiculously expensive as I have heard Starbucks is

Just starting to get popular in regions outside of New England. Here it is just about anywhere and everywhere.

I'm trying to cut back on coffee. When I stop at Dunkin's, no matter what time in the year, its a Medium Iced Black Cocoa right now otherwise blueberry, Cream, Sugar, half ice.

We have Green Mountain k-cups here at work when I'm feeling cheap and don't want to buy a coffee.

I personally believe that they put some kind of addictive substance in Dunkin Donuts coffee. I can't stay away either. It's an evil corporate world domination thing.

Oh, wait a minute... that's the caffeine. Right.

Dunkin is good. I've gotten their store bought bags before.

Right now I'm using 8 o'Clock 100% Columbian Dark Roast whole beans. Grind up two scoops and 4 cups of water. Perfect in the morning with two equals and milk.
