Morning Joe (Coffee)

Any coffee nuts on here? Lol no pun intended... What kind of coffee do you drink and how do you like it?

Im cheap. At home i drink folgers dark (the gourmet vacuum sealed kind), or if im out, mcdonalds coffee, or dunkin donuts coffee... 2 sugars and 2 creamer. My given preference is Raw sugar and Baileys French Vanilla Creamer.

Cafe con leche every morning! Beans straight from Peru! Another item I started late in life!

i'm a bit crazy when it comes to coffee. my go to brand is folgers columbian, pretty solid for the price. i use a percolator, but i go way overboard with the amount. i'll use 2 heaping scoops per cup, and to make it even more intense, i don't use a filter!

Late in life?

You're thirtysomething years old. Enough with the melodrama already .

I gotta have my coffee in the morning. None of this Starbucks sissy stuff either . Plain black coffee (Folgers, Maxwell House, etc). Oh, and NO deCaf either.



TIS

Sorry, all this Sun, sand and 80 degree weather has me down!

Burger King has good brew. IMO

I'll be back early Wednesday, ballbreaker .

New Rochele will be here Wednesday also? Interesting? Very interesting? Tell him go easy on room inspection this time! He brings a heavy quarter, told him that's why it don't bounce during bed inspection.

Lol

Tried irish cream today, not bad.

that is also my go to brand and i also use a percolator lol



same here

Folgers at home. McDonald's "dollar menu" on the road. I almost never look at prices when I order anything anywhere, let alone McDonald's. But how the hell can you beat any size coffee for a buck? And it's damn good coffee, too!

Pizza. Weird same here. My wife gave me this little plastic thing that she says to use to pay? It's weird I just keep giving it to people and get whatever I want?

I rarely go out for coffee, but when I do, it's usually McDonald's. My kids like Starbucks and Dunkin lattes and crap, but $4 for coffee is just silly, IMO.

I like Eight O'clock whole bean coffee, or Gevalia ground. I usually buy the two pound bag at Costco. Yum.

Is $16 to much for a Martini? If so I overpay daily!

depends, is it a dirty martini? lol

A sprinkle of Orange peel!

Sounds about right

About to go out with my family my mom f'n flippped out were picking a place telling my sister (If she orders the f'n expensive wine she can pay for it!.) Really looking forward to this late brunch or whatever the fuck

^^^^
Si chiama?

Are you drunk right now?

Si, no mange

Usually at home its whatever we have for the kurig, if im out and about, no matter the temperature or weather I go to dunks and get me a large regular iced coffee.

When ever did a price tag make anything taste better?


on the otherside....
I will say that free always taste better.

I buy Folgers or Maxwell House. However, my wife buys coffee that costs around $16 a lb. She also has one of our daughters who lives in Oregon send her coffee beans that she then grinds up. I really don't care for the sound of that grinder so early in the morning. Sometimes I think she has me in it.

Are you talking about your wife or the thing that pulverizes the beans?

Oh, so clever! And from Throggs Neck. Who woulda thunk it?

I'm sometimes lucid when I forget to start drinking before noon. Don't get used to it.

We have Starbucks here which is okay but we have a rival chain called Costa Coffee which i think is better, nicer cakes and pastries for starters.

I have a Rancilio espresso machine and make two cups of cappucino every morning. My preferred bean is Trader Joe's Italian Roast. Costco has excellent beans at great prices, but they all come in three-pound bags--the beans go stale if I buy in that quantity.

Try keeping them in the freezer, TB.

I love the sound of grinders in the morning. It sounds like.........victory.

You and my wife would love each other.

Charlie don't drink coffee!!!

I never had a cup of coffee in my life.

What??? Counselor do you swear on a bible you're telling the truth so help you God? Seriously, never? Just doesn't appeal to you or what?



TIS

I like tea, but coffee never appealed to me. My wife drinks it daily, and for years I've made trips to get her a cup at her favorite spots, but I never got an urge even to try it.

I think my faith in you (and lawyers) has been shattered. No coffee? Madonne! How can you make all of these erudite comments about the NFL and not drink coffee? Sure, being an Eagles fan I can understand your liking tea. But to root for the Steelers you got to have coffee in your veins.

Normally, after reading such an alarming revelation, I'd have to go lay down and rest. But I just drank some coffee, so I can't even blink.

Don't know why, but I remember my first cup of coffee. I was 19 and worked downtown. On a twenty minute break I walked to the coffee shop next door and ordered black coffee and a doughnut. I've drank it ever since. Cream/sugar in it just doesn't appeal to me.

On the other hand, and for whatever reason, my mom would always give us warm tea and a slice of toast when we were not feeling well. My tea HAS to have cream/sugar or it's no good. Yet, ice tea is straight. I'm so weird.


TIS

It's true. This is one fact about me that never ceases to amaze people. I'm not sure how many of us, who have never allowed coffee to pass our lips, exist.

sorry to veer off topic a bit, but i love a nice cup of tea at night to unwind. here is my all-time favorite, instead of sugar a slash of high quality maple syrup is amazing! order here and thank me later

I do enjoy tea, but I like black tea, like Irish or English Breakfast, or some Earl Grey. At night, if I'm drinking it to unwind, I enjoy chamomile or lemon.

Give me tea over coffee any day hot or cold. Now when I do drink coffee I like to add French Vanilla to it.

My sister used to be in love with tea. Everytime we'd go see her she would serve tea. She's been drinking coffee now for decades though.

I like both, depends on mood, time of day and other considerations, like if I am in England.

Too funny. Folgers and Maxwell House (original roast) are probably my 2 favorite supermarket coffees too, along with "8 O'Clock". I can't stand Starbucks. At any price, IMO it is one of the worst coffees there is. Tastes like mud.

....And DeCaf is just wrong.

Tastes burnt to me.

I was just turned on to "8:00 Coffee" and I love it. It has a great roasted taste and smell. I'll also buy Maxwell House and Dunkin' Donuts brands.

I can't say I buy it BUT I remember Dunkin' Donuts coffee being really good. I don't see it at the grocery store though. Do you have to buy it at Dunkin' Donuts only?



TIS

It's sold in supermarkets and convenience stores here in the local area, plus their own donut stores.

Is it any more expensive than regular brands (ie Maxwell House, Folgers, etc.)? I think I'll look for it next time I go shopping.


TIS

8 O'Clock is definitely one of the best. I can remember when I was a kid and it was sold exclusively at A&P Supermarkets. They had grinders in the store and you would grind the beans yourself. I like DD too, but think it's slightly overrated. I like McDonald's coffee and think it's underrated.

It's usually about the same as other premium brands. It's on sale this week here for $6.99 for a 12 oz bag of ground coffee.

Is that 12 oz bag at the supermarket or the DD store? I'm only asking because the bags used to be a full pound at the DD stores.

The 12 oz bag is from the supermarket. It usually sells for $8.99 or so.

The Costco here sells Dunkin Donuts coffee. They also sell lots of other coffee at great prices.

SC, you might remember the old A&P small groceries in various neighborhoods. They all had a great smell of fresh coffee from those huge grinders they had in the front of the store. Their brands were Eight O'Clock, Bokar and (?) Black,red and yellow bags.

OK. At the DD store, it's $10 a pound which is a better deal. I thought maybe they downsized their bags to 12 oz.

True story how I discovered Dunkin' Donuts coffee.

Years ago, in Michigan, with two little kids, and when money was tight, my husband and I couldn't afford a major night out (dinner, movie etc). We'd get a sitter for a couple hours (it would be our therapy LOL) and went to a Dunkin' Donuts by our house and just sit and talk as we'd have several cups of coffee. Of course, I remember using a coupon, buy one donut and cup of coffee and get a 2nd cup free. I remember their coffee being really good.

When I hear/see Dunkin' Donuts I get a flash of that memory for some reason.


TIS

Good to know that. I never bought the bags at the DD stores.

Until Just Lou mentioned it here (above) I didn't remember that Eight O'Clock coffee was sold at A&P. Now, after your description too, I have a vague memory of it. The stores with the old wooden floors and their displays......

Good memory, huh?

I think any store (or chain) that specializes in selling donuts MUST have a good coffee.

Well, neither good nor bad memory. Just that I hear of DD and think of that and the good coffee. I never really go to donut shops these days, for the most part, but yea, it would seem logical that a donut place MUST have good coffee.


TIS

Love coffee and have at least 5 cups before noon. Usually brew Duncan Donuts but also a friend often brings me a can of Tim Hortons, from a Canadian chain which is now working it's way down the east coast- very similar to Duncans. Also have a buddy who brings me coffee from Columbia when he goes down there. For Christmas, my 3 daughters gave me a Kerig coffee maker and some of their coffees are pretty good
