Favorite Coffee

[doodlebug 3]

What's everyone's favorite coffee?

I used to be a true Dunkin Donuts fan until I had my first child. After getting up for all those feedings my mom brought me my first cup of Starbucks and after that there was no turning back....Dunkins just tasted like water in comparison and nothing else gets the blood flowing.

I've been partial to the Christmas Blend but my sister got me the Winter blend and now I'm hooked on that one.

My husband and I love Starbucks Caramel Machiatto Decaf upside down with extra caramel drizzle at the bottom. They used to have Creme Brulee during Xmas season here in Manila, they didnt have it this year. That taste great too.

Kahve Vienna Roast.

I order the beans and grind them to espresso (one step coarser than Turkish), then "brew" it in my Essetti (stovetop, stainless-steel).

I can simulate a somewhat smoother mideastern coffee by adding fresh ground cardamom (prepackaged powder doesn't quite work) in the basket.

We have a stovetop espresso maker and we usually use Lavazza.

Sometimes we also just mix Nescafe with milk for an easy latte.

If I'm out I prefer a Dunkin' Donuts flavored drip to anything from Starbucks. I can't bring myself to pay those outrageous prices there.

I absolutely adore the SMELL of coffee but I don't drink it. I'm a lightweight I guess cos I'm a hot chocolate girl!

I bought a bag of 8'o clock vanilla last week for less than $4 a lb, ground it up fine for espresso. It is as good as the $7 a lb coffee we have had. I do love Starbucks, sadly we don't have one here in town. It is white chocolate mocha for me.

We have a stovetop espresso maker and we usually use Lavazza.

Not sure how good Lavazza is, but I have also tried Gevalia (which also works).

Sometimes we also just mix Nescafe with milk for an easy latte.

More like my Q&D morning coffee of 9-to-5 single-packet into milk than a latte...

Especially when Starbucks oft BURNS the coffee. I can easily make better coffee with regrounds of Nabob, MJB or Kirkland Signature (Costco brand); the only brand which WON't work is Edwards (which, to no surprise, is sold by Safeway ).

Mmm coffee. At home I make Maxwell House 1/2 caffeine coffee which is fine for me. I like Starbucks but I only have it about once a week. I like the peppermint mocha there, and the white chocolate mocha. I never order really complicated drinks there or make my coffee order into a long sentence. I usually just order it however it comes. It still bothers me for some silly reason to hear people's orders that are a paragraph long for one single cup of coffee. I used to always get Dunkin Donuts, but lately I haven't.

I recently bought some Fair Trade coffee beans, the name of the flavor was Machu Picchu, and it was very good!

Tim Hortons! But of course I now live in the USA so there aren't any near by But I have a couple of canisters of Tim's coffee and Hot chocolate so I'm good to go... (not that I am much of a coffee drinker but anyways..)

I hate the Man, but you can't deny how good Starbuck's is.

That being said, we have a little bagel shop here in Bloomington which has the BEST hazelnut cofffee I've ever tasted.

I have a stovetop and I got a electric espresso machine as a gift which I never use. I usually buy coffee when I am in Europe. Buy some from World Cost Plus Market. I like Lavazza or Tchibo and Eduscho Gala. I still have yet to try Illy coffee. I drink it with milk and 1 packet of Splenda or International Delight French Vanilla flavour. My husband seems to like the instant Nescafe brand black with 6 cubes of sugar (yuk!)

I donnot buy coffee too much while I am out. Starbucks is ok, but their coffee gives me a headache. I prefer to get a cup of Panera Bread's hazelnut coffee.
