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?

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.

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.

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......
