Yeah, I'm talking about you, Cracker Barrel.
And don't try to look innocent Dunkin' Donuts, you're also guillty.
I so disagree. Dunkin' Donuts is the best!

I am addicted to the iced coffee at the Brooklyn Water Bagel Cafe (near to Kohls) IMAGINE -- THEY USE ICE CUBES MADE OUT OF COFFEE INSTEAD OF WATER -- SO AS NOT TO DILUTE THE ICED COFFEE -- SUPERB!!!!!

If you like dark full bodied coffee, we order whole bean
Kick Ass from Kicking Horse Coffee on Amazon.

The 2.2 pound pouch is a good buy.

Never liked Starbucks American coffee - their other coffees are good. I much prefer Dunkin' for morning coffee.

I but it directly from the Hula Daddy web site. I did a tour while in Hawaii and have been hooked on it since. Kona coffee is great and Hula Daddy is the best of the Kona's.

I guess I am weird when it comes to coffee. I have to change the coffee I drink, otherwise I get so used to it, it doesn't have any taste. Every time I buy, it will be different. Dunkin Donuts, Eight O Clock,Foldgers Vanilla Biscotti!, Star Bucks fancy drinks are a treat, I love a good Mocha Latte!

This sounds interesting. I need to try it.

Right now, it's Harmony Bay's Hazelnut coffee. Black, no sugar.

I love Starbuck's coffee. As someone up thread said..."the stronger, the better".

I also treat myself to Starbuck's special drinks around the holidays. LOVE the Peppermint Mocha. I tried the Peppermint Mocha from Dunkin' Donuts but it wasn't nearly as flavorful. I know DD's is less expensive than Starbuck's but it doesn't mean anything if the flavor just isn't there.

Yes. As a matter of fact, it was surprising how good 7-11 was the first time I had it. For over 20 years now, I still think the standard brew at 7-11 has the full body flavor without bitter that I look for in a coffee.

While in Key West we had a great cup of coffee at one of the restaurants (I forget which one) and asked what it was. The waiter said it was Illy coffee. We went online and started ordering the whole bean (our coffee maker grinds the beans prior to brewing). It was a little pricey, so we switched to Alterra. You can only order it online as it is not sold in stores. It's about half the price and we like it better than Illy. Our favorite is: Blue Healer, Delicious!

Love (and miss) Polly's. I was a regular - used to live 2 blocks from Polly's in Belmont Shore.
