Who Loves Coffee!!

Who here drinks coffee every morning to get their day started?! If so... what type do you drink (flavored, columbian, etc...) and how do you drink it!

 

I drink coffee every morning and I absolutely LOVE flavored coffee! The best types I have EVER tried are: Strawberry Shortcake Coffee & Banana Nut Split Coffee!! 

I LOVE my coffee.  It's one habit I absolutely refuse to give up LOL!!!

I also consider myself very much a "Coffee Snob."  I only drink (very strong) Starbucks Espresso Roast (I buy the Costco packed stuff) and I grind my own each day.  I MUST have my half and half and a little skim milk.

I won't even think about drinking restaurant coffee LOL!!!

I do splurge on mocha's every weekend, but even there, I'm very picky!!  My hubby hates ordering coffee for me because I'm so dang specific...  Here's what I order: 16 oz triple mocha, skim milk, 1/2 the chocolate and barely warm

Jee, I wonder why he hates to order LOL!!!!

I'm becoming a coffee snob, but since I get my daily coffee at work, I pretty much drink the same thing everyday:  Folger's with 1 teaspoon of raw turbinado sugar (which I bring from home), 1 packet of equal, and 1 tablespoon of creamer. 

At home, I drink the latest thing I'm trying.  Right now it's still Folger's, but the dark roast Columbian - I love it.  I brew it with cinnamon and cloves added to the grounds, and then take it with 1 teaspoon of raw turbinado sugar, 1 packet of equal, and 1 tablespoon of sugar free vanilla caramel coffee mate. 

If at Starbucks, I might try their coffee of the day, but I have a hard time resisting a skinny cinnamon dulce latte with an extra shot - mmmmmm.

The best coffee I ever had, though, was when I was in the Dominican Republic.  Very strong, very dark, and very thick stuff where the smell takes up the entire room, and just-picked-and-roasted-yesterday fresh (literally).  Mixed it with a lot of brown sugar and real cream, and the flavor was out of this world.  Very bad for me, but oh so good.

i'm absolutely a coffee snob.  hate flavoured coffees.  i drink it black, and my choice of bean is grizzly claw by the kicking horse coffee company.  all of their beans are fair trade, shade grown, and organic, and it's roasted and blended in Invermere, BC, Canada.  when they're roasting, you're greeted by the most amazing smell as you drive into town....

I drink coffee everday too! I love the french vanilla coffee with french vanilla creamer. Almost a knock off of an expensive latte at Starbucks!

I need morning coffee as well.  I drink one 16-oz travel mug full every week day morning.  At home on the weekends I make a 4-cup pot or maybe two.  I like a really mild coffee like Dunkin Donuts.  We have a really good blend at work (odd, since most work-provided coffee tends to be horrible and bitter) but its a no-name brand.  I just buy a regular breakfast blend at home.  Light creamer and splenda.  Sometimes as a treat (if I know the workday is going to be hell, for example) I get a large from Dunkin Donuts with REAL cream and splenda.

I became a coffee snob after working at Starbucks. I think flavoured coffee, and speciality latte's are disgusting and completely ruin the drink. I drink all my coffee black, only americanos and doppio espressos. Sometimes I splurge on Kona blend to have high quality brewed coffee, but it is too expensive to by all the time.

I think Starbucks drip coffee is awful. It's so bitter and gross. Local coffee shops almost always have better coffee beans...

Coffee snobs I work with refer to it as "Charbucks" because they insist that the coffee is over roasted - however if you like the lattes, you don't notice.

There aren't a whole lot of local or "mom and pop" coffee shops anymore, and most of them aren't near where I live - sigh. (Otherwise, I would prefer to go those places.)

I am totally a coffee snob.  I like a mild to medium roast so you can still taste the original bean, not just that burnt flavour of a very dark roast like Starbucks.  I drink it black, and I usually have two in the morning and maybe one in the afternoon.

I also love my coffee.  I'm not right until I've had my coffee as soon as I get out of bed.  Also after every meal all I want is a cup of coffee. 

my problem with starbucks isn't with the product; i actually like their coffee.  i don't like their ethics.

Yes! I am in fact drinking a mahoosive mug right now :) Aaah, the one thing I've missed about my parents' house is their coffee. All I have at home right now is Asda value stuff because I can't afford anything better....

So I'm taking full advantage of the yummy, expensive Colombian stuff they horde. 6 cups in one day... Ha, no wonder I didn't get to sleep til 6 in the morning yesterday.

I love it hot, black, and strong! I actually really like Starbucks--but then I like bitter flavors, so maybe that's why. Not a big fan of flavored coffees. Will only add cream if it's bad coffee, so I try to stick to the pricey stuff that I can drink withou adding calories to it.

haha what's the opposite of a coffee snob? cause that's me! don't get me wrong, i love a really good quality strong cup, but i also will drink coffee at a diner. i'll drink pretty much any coffee at all.

i like it with milk or cream and regular old sugar. i just can't do artificial sweetener in my coffee. i also love flavored coffees and flavored creamers (though i don't love the creamer calories). one of my favorite things in the world is a medium french vanilla from dunkin donuts with milk and sugar. YUM! or iced coffee from dunks when it's warm out!

mmmmm coffeeeeee....

I'm definitely in the coffee snob category.  I use Sumatra Gayo Mountain organic, fair-trade beans from Stumptown Coffee Roasters in Portland, Oregon.  I make my espresso every morning in a Bialetti espresso maker.  When I want something sweet, I make a half-soymilk, half-almond milk vanilla latte with Madagascar Bourbon pure vanilla extract and agave syrup.  mmmm snobbery is yummy.

I'm really more of a "add a little coffee to my creamer" kind of girl, so I love the french vanilla cappuccino from those machines in a gas stations *blushing*....But will get the skinny french vanilla latte with a shot of sugar free caramel from Starbucks every once in a while, or if I am freezing I will hold a cup of any blend...drinking it is another story.

I'm a Peet's girl, Major Dickason Blend or French Roast and brewed strong.  16 ounces in the morning but thats it.   I can't handle drinking coffee all day long.  And I put real sugar in it!!!

IMO, Starbucks coffee is crap.

I got burned out on flavors working as a barista... I had the ambitious goal of drinking each of the 70-100 flavors my first week so I could describe "exactly" what they were like. However, I like my coffee strong and sludgy, but I love to have my fat-free flavored creamers to smooth it out. Absolute favorites are Sumatra (rich and strong without being overpowering) and Mocha Java (natural inherent sweetness, smooth and almost creamy on its own).

i love coffee...and while i prefer really good, dark shade grown, organic, fair trade coffee, like jules, i'll drink any coffee.

if it's good, i drink it black...if it's crap, i add a little whole milk to it.  if i find myself at starbucks, i'll get an americano and add a touch of milk (or the occasional iced latte).

not a fan of flavored coffees or creamers at all, but a recent fan of decaf after dinner.

Oh my goodness...I should not have read this thread!  I've been trying to eliminate sugar AND artificial sweeteners from my diet, but now I am totally craving a sugar-free coconut soy latte!  yikes.
