    Default Hey Coffee Lovers!

    Sitting here sipping a cup of Joe, got me wondering about Coffee.. I do enjoy my green teas, but I am still a coffee fiend through and through. So whats your favorite Coffee? Are you a Grind and brew your own?


    Star bucks mocha cococolatte whatever person? Do you go for french roast, columbian,etc. Where do you get your java when on the road? The local donut shop?


    For me, I like a rich coffee, french roast if its already ground, and if I grind it myself, I really enjoy beans from costa rica. We don't have too many good coffee shops here, just starbucks, which I don't care for their coffee, My local supermarket , BigY carries a decent select of coffee beans under their name. They also carry a more commercial brand..Peetes Coffee(beans or ground) which I really enjoy as well.

    And for that coffee for the road...Duncan Donuts are everywhere... but I don't like their coffee either..have to say, sadly the best out here is McDonalds Coffee, Newmans variety I guess. Its probably the best thing Mcdonalds makes!

    I don't take my coffee with much in it...no sugar, maybe a splash of milk or black. Espresso would be black maybe some sambuca if after dinner

    How about you?

    I love coffee too Al. My favorite is Hazelnut, with half and half and some sweetener. I just got a bag of Panera Bread Hazelnut at Harris Teeter, my favorite so far. But I like other flavors too. I can grind my own, but use my Keurig with the attachment that I can do my own ground coffee in. Works great. Think I will go have some more now...

    We have lots of family owned Cuban restaurants here Al. If you ever make it down this way I will take you to one. Cuban sandwiches are another favorite.

    Hi...my name is Ralph and I'm addicted to coffee.
    Been drinking the stuff since I was a kid with milk and Milano lady-finger cookies. Al knows what I talking about...it's that Italian growing up tradition. Today I still love the stuff but needs to be dark roast. At times there will be espresso left over and my wife tells me hours later if I want that driveway sealer. The darker the better.....
    I will however have a Raspberry-Chocolate truffle K-Cup from time to time.
    MacDonald's coffee would also be my pick when on the road.

    ...Ralph

    Starbucks is the only place I'll pay for coffee. Bold and black is the best and sometime with a shot of espresso. At home, I drink Harmony Bay Hazelnut as it's my wife's favorite and I like it as well. Only time I will put anything in my coffee is when I have Cortado. Don't use French press at home, but when we go camping, it can't be beat.

    I've tried to get in to drinking coffee so many times, but I could not acquire the taste. Are there any that you guys would recommend that may be different than the regular cup of joes I've tried? Or where I can go purchase some in a coffee store? I've tried starbucks and didn't like any of those...

    I'm pretty much the same. Never really drink it, and usually don't have a need for the extra boost though some days it might be nice. However I do LOVE the smell of it and if I do drink it I need it loaded, can't take it black. The closest I came to a regular use was my time in the Marines, the small packs in the MREs, was great on long field ops or deployment when you needed to stay awake. On the very rare occasions I go into Starbucks I feel overwhelmed, lost, and confused on what/how to order.

    Al have you ever had the opportunity to go down to Costa Rica and get it fresh? Was my first time actually seeing it on the tree and its EVERYWHERE! Fields and fields of it, people's backyards, roadsides, some hotels even have trees out front. Seeing the process from tree to cup is pretty interesting.
