The best I've had is at IHOP. Wish it was available on the retail market. How about you....what is the best you ever had?

4 day old coffee heated up with a blow touch after sleeping in a cold office the night of the blizzard of 1978.

In the "olden days" the best coffee I ever had was at the NY Athletic Club where we were told they scoured each pot or urn after every use, and they never used expensive coffee.

(My friend's boss was a member. Great meals too.)

Nowadays, for me, as a lover of strong coffee, the very very best is Keurig Sumatran Blend, by far.

Buckeyes..if you google IHOP coffee brand, you will see a lot of blogs saying that IHOP uses Royal Cup brand coffee which is available over the internet in individual packets. I don't drink coffee, so I can't verify this.

Royal Cup Coffee

Kona, but you have to be sitting in a cafe in the islands, on the beach, to appreciate the full effect! It is the most wonderful coffee...has to be 100% Kona, and not a blend.

The best cup of coffee can be hit or miss whether it's out at a Dunkin' Donuts or in your own home. Once in a great while, one can truly make a SUPERIOR cup of coffee...the right amount of water, the right amount of Maxwell House (sorry, old fashion), a pinch of salt, the right amount of sugar and coffee cream. I have to say I've hit a great cup quite a few times in my lifetime at home and out too. One more thing about coffee. I've enjoyed a Keurig for awhile and whatever coffee you choose, the nice thing is that, for the most part, the taste is consistent.

Without a doubt, the best coffee I have had would be at the Ritz-Carlton resort in Montego Bay, Jamaica. It was 100% Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee. Unfortunately, the Ritz-Carlton is not there anymore. Adding a shot of dark Jamaican rum to the second cup made it a perfect experience.

Default Black regular coffee....Tim Horton's or DD

Nothing better after swimming 1/2 mile here at Swimdawg North than stopping at Tim Horton's for an X-L coffee to take home. In Swimdawg South, I love Dunkin' Donuts whole bean regular coffee...ground at home. I love the smell of coffee. Hmm....hmmm..good!

McDonald's about 25 years ago before the Arabica bean was forced on us. It was a great cup of coffer. Today not so good.

Years ago I got a bag of some Kenyan coffee. It was the best coffee that I've ever had. I wish I remember where I got it. I also had some Kona that was great.

Also, if you ever go to South Beach there is a little street called Espaniola Way that runs off of Washington around 15th Street. It's like a little Cuban village and the coffee all up and down that street was awesome.

I don't understand people that think that Dunkin Donuts, IHOP and all these other watery coffees are great. I think that they must not have ever had real coffee.

Whenever I walk into Target here in TV, the smell of their coffee blows me away. I've not ever tasted it, and I don't know who is brewing it, but it smells rich and divine.

Eight O'Clock coffee about 20 years ago. But I recently found a new coffee love...a mixture of 1/2 Folgers Black Silk and 1/2 Folgers Gourmet Supreme. I served it over the holidays and everyone raved about it.

I totally forgot about 8 O'Clock coffee! I can smell the aroma of those beans right now. Sooooo good!

It was at the Kahala Hotel & Resort about 30 years ago. Back then, it was the Kahala Hilton.
