I miss coffee.:sigh: I cant drink it anymore, might be an age thing and to much coffee over the years. Anyhow anytime I drink it now It bothers the hell out of my stomach and nothing else really does. So I had to change to teas. :sigh:

When I lived in Virginia, I drank the occasional coffee in the morning, When I moved to Seattle I swore I would never set foot in a Starbucks. Well, an ex of mine got me a starbucks drink one time and...well...I now goto starbucks quite regularly. Gotta have my double tall white chocolate raspberry mocha. $4.32 each. Im glad I make a decent wage. They'd break me real fast otherwise.

I hate convenience coffee.
DD - too weak, they did everyone a favor when they offered expresso shots.
Charbucks - Name says it all. Burnt coffee and the fact that I cannot bring myself to say 'viente'.
Au bon Pain - PAIN.
Any flavored coffee just makes me laugh. Its right up there with umbrella drinks. I fresh brew a thermos in the morning: cost; about 2 bucks/day.
I would be shunned in Seattle.
Reporting is futile, you will be assimilated.

>>Does anyone agree that Duncan Donuts coffee is piss water? Or am I the only sane person in a crazy world?
I have never tried DD coffee, but I do like their hot chocolate. I don't like Starbucks hot chocolate.
Then again, take my opinion with a grain of salt, since I used to love the Swiss Miss hot chocolate...

DD coffee is crap. I agree on the whole hot chocolate thing though. When I was pregnant I craved it constantly 'cause i wasn't supposed to drink coffee. (After 3 months without coffee I caved and let myself have 1 cup a day. lol. I'm a java junkie)

Swiss Miss is great. I wish i'd taken the time at some point in my life to try some real hot chocolate...the kind with real chocolate?
And Starbucks is only good for one thing: picking up healthy women. Don't wanna go to a bar everynight? Go to Starbucks with a book. Turns out some women are interested in healthy men...who'duh thought.

DD coffee is to water what flight is to a bird. Part and parcel of the greater whole.
Bar-schmucks coffee is second-hand swill with a good marketing program. Trust me on this.
C-store coffee... Well, some are somewhat okay. Found by much trial and error that the best emergency-help-i-need-coffee-now-or-else-you-die-by-my-hand coffee tends to come from corporate-owned BPs. Trust me, when you spend over a year driving taxi, you learn these things.
But when at home, I tend to grind my own beans. Either from Silver Canyon Coffee or Peaberry's. Always the Deep Snow or The Fort blends from SC, and always the Dark French Costa Rica from Peaberry's.
15 bucks a month for coffee at home? Not bad.

Kona coffee is just about the best coffee out there. I might hit starbucks once every 3 weeks if I forget to get the coffee pot ready the night before. I pick up the fresh roasted stuff usually from costco, which is pretty cheap and tastes pretty damned good.
