    Any coffee drinkers out there?? I drink a little when I'm at work. I've tried several kinds but my favorite seems to be Columbian. Mainly Starbucks columbian whole bean. I really like the taste. I've tried some Costa Rican coffee but it seemed to be to strong. I like coffee like I like my beer. A good smooth taste.

    What about you guys??

    I try to stay away but when I really need it, I just drink whatever tastes good, haha. I'm not really a coffee connoisseur.

    Big coffee drinkers here. We go through about 3-4 pounds per week. Never cared much for Starbucks, tastes burnt to me. Too dark of a roast. Been getting most all our coffee from Kaldi.com., all roasted to order. Usually get the City roast as I find darker roasts mask the subtle tastes of the beans. Current favorites, Hawaiian Kauai and Costa Rica although most of the African selections are top notch too.

    Always looking for something new............anybody?

    I love coffee in the morning, just try to get Arabica beans types, but have to use decaf. The caffeine is just a bit much for me.

    I only drink coffee in the morning when I need to get the pipes going...

    Normally is a nice cup of tea!

    No beer or anything like that for me but I do enjoy my coffee in the morning. Nothing special though...:thumb:

    From what's easily available out there, I always end up going to the Dunkin' Donuts beans. Bought ofcourse in the whole bean variety. The Dunkin' coffe os muchhh smoother than the Starbucks. But mixing the two will yield some interesting configurations.

    I live in Seattle, if you don't drink coffee they kick you out...lol

    I love coffee. I drink between 5 and 10 cups a day. I also drink it all times of the day, not just morning.

    I prefer espresso. I buy the espresso roast from Caribou Coffee. I have an espresso machine. Normally it's just 4 shots straight. If I feel like it, I'll make a caramel latte instead.

    Caribou also sells their flavorings. I can make a dead on Caribou caramel latte for pennies instead of the 4 bucks they charge. Don't know how big of a chain caribou is (may just be regional), but that's my favorite.

    1# of espresso beans runs about 12.95 IIRC

    Caribou Blend & Caribou Fireside coffees are my favorites when available.
    8'oclock beans are my go to, Folders Black Silk or Gourmet Supreme if need be.
    Strong and black is the only way in my book. The more caffine the better! :applause2: :coffee:

    I have a mug o Joe in my paw from 5 minutes after I get up in the morning until 5 minutes before I go to bed. (yeah, I sleep like a baby...) The occasional Starbucks when I feel like a frothy, sissified, treat, Dunkin Donuts is always smooth and consistent, at work it's whatever overcooked-on-the-burner swill that's there. At home it's 8 O'Clock regular. I'm obviously an addict rather than a connoisseur. :headbang:

    I love the smell of coffee, but I can't drink it in any form. I just can't stand it. If I go to a coffee shop with friends, I'll get a hot chocolate, lol.
