Coffee. What/how do you like it?

[b5blue]

  Coffee, I love a good cup of Joe! So far Dunkin Doughnut's has made the best coffee out of my cheap coffee maker at home. What are you guys using? I've tried a bunch of others around the same price point with no improvement. My sons and I like ours with milk and sugar, my daughter likes the capa-latta-mocha-frappa-carmal thing that costs 6-7 bucks at Starbucks and really is a milkshake.

At work 3 vac packs to full pot, one sweet n low. At home I grind Papa Nicholas bag coffee- French Roast

[Budnicks]

Yuban Dark Roast with a stick of cinnamon & a tablespoon of vanilla in the mix 5 heaping scoops in an old Mr. Coffee , coffee maker, sometimes I use nutmeg instead of the vanilla or cinnamon, tastes pretty good...   I drink a lot of coffee, some of the special blends that are 3-4 times the cost aren't as good as my little mixture, some are well worth the price though, if your a coffee junkie, I'm just a cheap a$$ some times...

I use Maxwell House Columbian. 1 heaping tablespoon of grinds per "cup" (the measured cups marked on the pot).

In a large cup: two packs of Swiss Miss cocoa, then the coffee, then top off the last 1/2 inch or so with half and half. It makes a better mocha than anything Starbucks has ever served me. If I'm feeling "saucy" I'll whip the heck out of it and/or add a bunch of little marshmallows.

I might be the only Navy Chief to never drink coffee.

I didn't start until I was about 40. If it weren't for the hot cocoa I wouldn't touch it.

I never drank coffee until I joined the Navy back in 79, but as for how I take it,  I like it Dark and bitter like my women

[Chryco Psycho]

I am alergic to it , if I drink any coffee at all I will be on the toilet for 24 hrs minimum until there is nothing left !

Tim Hortons Double Double......best damn coffee you will ever have - period!

[Charger RT]

about a year ago I bought a coffee maker that grinds the beans right before it makes the coffee. Very good coffee. not to long ago I found a small company in Wisconsin that roast the beans the day he ships to you. I tried 2 five pound bags good stuff. I only drink coffee with a little heavy cream in it.

Me too!

We got one of those Kuerig (spelling?) coffee makers at home. Still not 100% thrilled with it but it's fast-n-easy. I usually get some kind of Breakfast Blend coffees. I don't like the deep dark roasts, & from what I've read the longer the coffee bean is roasted the more it loses it's caffeine goodness.
Dunkin' Donuts around here still offers the best bang for the buck if I buy coffee elsewhere. I never set foot in a StarBUCKS. I don't even understand their coffee menu. Can't a guy just get a damn regular coffee??

I didn't start until I was about 40. If it weren't for the hot cocoa I wouldn't touch it.

I was a late starter also. 3-1/2 years of working 50-60hrs weeks on the project from hell drove me to it.

Now:

$3/month buys me all the communal coffee I can drink at work. I like it black, thick, and luke-warm. Whatever brand the house carries is fine with me.

If I stop somewhere, it's three shots of straight espresso or occasionally an black Americano (iced if it's hot).

Agree!

1 sugar and H&H for me.  We grind our own and tend to like the darker roasts.  We were buying the Morning Buzz and Pacific Rim beans from Whole Foods but have really taken to Trader Joe's beans which are just as good if not better but cheaper.  For a coffee pot, we have a drip machine, the kind that heats the water and drips into a thermal carafe.  I like the flavor better than our old one, the traditional glass carafe with hotplate style.  We also have a french press that we never use, but makes a good cup of coffee as well as a Bialetti stove-top aluminum espresso pot that we bring out once in a while for espresso, lattes or cappuccinos.

Lots of coffee mate French vanilla and some Nestle chocolate mix.   

[tsmithae]

Dark and black. No sugar, no cream. However, if I can get away with it, I love me some Jameson in it...

[Fred]

I like my coffee BLACK!.............like the colour of my Charger
I can't live without either. (oh, and my mrs. too)

[Kern Dog]

Maybe adding your age to this informal poll may make things clearer. I'd hazard a guess that the majority of people that like traditional coffee are over 50. I'm 45 and have never developed a taste for the stuff. I'd need to "gay" it up with sugars, milk or some type of candy flavoring to be able to drink it.

I've been drinking the stuff since I was 6................okay, I'll be honest, since I was 12. And now with one foot in the grave, my blood pressure is still perfect and my doctor says I'm the healthiest sod he's ever met. No stopping now! (or I might end up with both feet in the grave!!!!!)

[tsmithae]

Well, I must be the oddball here because I'm 23 and I can't stand all the frills and flavors and such.

[Nacho-RT74]

creamy, dark and sweety

If it has to be home brewed percolated coffee I like the MJB Hawaiian blend, one sugar with milk/creme. Or for instant coffee it's hard to go past Nescafe Espresso... I don't understand the people who like 3 - 4 sugars in their coffee

I do enjoy a proper latte or flat white

Also free coffee from work is hard to go past...
