Where do you get your coffee from?

[muon2]

Every morning I brew a pot for breakfast. I usually grind a whole bean roast from Papanicholas (they are local about 5 miles away), Intelligensia (Chicago-based) or Peets.

On the go I get coffee from Starbucks more than other places, because they are so common. Caribou was my preference, but they closed most of their stores around here a few years ago. Some became Peets, but the one I stopped at most frequently stayed closed.

[mencken]

Either brew it myself or buy it from the nearest non-Starbucks coffee shop.

[bedstuy]

My Keurig because it's way cheaper than buying coffee every day.

This. Brand-wise, I prefer McDonalds and so do most people I've spoken to.

Keuirgs are horrible.  You can make whole bean coffee that tastes much, much better for 1/3 the price.  It's not like traditional coffee makers require an engineering degree to operate.

From my Bunn with 100% Colombian (I'm a stickler about that... Colombian coffee is the best).. usually with milk.  No sugar.

[Oldiesfreak1854]

We buy it at the supermarket, but I don't drink coffee; the rest of my house does.  Never mind that our prophet called coffee drinking a sin.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

I needed to come to the office today, so after a few cups at home I hit GetGo, which is a regional 7-11 type store if you will, just a lot cleaner, nicer, and good food products with it.   Got the "Get up and go" blend, formerly named "Morning Rush".  Lots of extra caffeine.  $1.25 for a 16 ouncer and it gets me fuel perks there.

more of a weakness.  I guess it's all about moderation.  The problem with Americans is that we're the same way with coffee as we are with booze, houses, money, food, and everything else.  If one is good, then many must be better.  I'm especially weak when it comes to caffeine, alcohol, and spice.

When I lived in Boston, I often hung out at Someday Cafe.  ("A good cup of Joe" cost 79c back then.  Sometimes I'd break the monotony and have chai.)  From time to time I'd visit 1369 cafe--so named because of its address--where they had a drink called Instant Death.  It consisted of a 16-ounce strong coffee (Americano), with a long shot of the espresso of the day (often Ethiopian, always ground immediately before use.  No sugar.  No milk.  Best coffee ever.

These days I brew my own, either at home or at the office.  At work I use the reverse osmosis water office from my lab across the hall from my office.  It's pure enough so that I don't have to ever clean the coffeemaker.  I wouldn't drink it straight, but I think using it for brewing is fine.  At home my water is softer, so I just use tapwater here.

I am going to the mall tomorrow to begin Christmas celebration, American-style, with unchecked consumerism.  Will probably stop at Wells Fargo on Oregon Pike en route for a fresh cup.  Of course, I'll have already drunk about half a pot at home before that happens, wretched sinner that I am.

What I find remarkable is that she called it a sin.  She didn't just say it was unhealthy; no, it was "sin"!  She also said that eating between meals was "sin", yet I have never found a verse in the Bible that says "Thou shalt not snack."  It's ridiculous, unbiblical and extrabiblical rules like this that have made me look into the Seventh Day Baptists more.

[RINO Tom]

Grande Pike Place at Starbucks with a splash of half and half plus one Sweet'N Low.  Every morning.  Usually two to three cups a day.

muon = Chicago hipster

As for me, I brew at home and am brand-loyal to Dunkin's packaged coffee. When I do purchase hot coffee, I try to do so from Dunkin as well. Very good coffee. Starbucks really sucks.

Well, extrabiblical sources have historically been taken pretty seriously.  For example, the Councils of Nicaea laid down a political agenda that was taken very seriously in the early church.  Also coffee, tea, and alcohol are specifically mentioned in Joseph Smith's "Word of Wisdom" which is considered canonical by at least one subset of Christians. 

If the prophet is really a prophet, then she probably has lots of information that you don't have.

From my Bunn with 100% Colombian (I'm a stickler about that... Colombian coffee is the best).. usually with milk.  No sugar.

I liked that when I used to drink cup after cup after cup, but I've cut way back on coffee consumption in recent years and actually find the darker beans like French/Vienna Roast and espresso more savory (no cream, no sugar). The trick is to measure it right and not burn it. The guy who runs the coffeehouse I frequent, and who can make a knockout espresso practically blindfolded, was explaining to me that 18-22 seconds are ideal to brew an espresso, so the ground beans need to be packed just right; longer and it cooks it and it's nasty.

[DavidB.]

I make it myself in my Senseo coffee maker (do Americans have these too?). I like Starbucks very much and it is ubiquitous in the Netherlands, but it is also too expensive, which is why I get my "to go" coffee in cheaper places in supermarkets and on train stations.

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

Great Lakes a Roasting Co. (At on-campus job, or when passing by said place of employment on my way to class)
Starbucks (anywhere else on campus)
Tim Horton's (off campus driving)

[Grand Wizard Lizard of the Klan]

Coffee < tea. Why do you even drink that awful hot beverage?

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Tim Horton's (off campus driving)

I spend a lot of time in the Lake Erie region near the PA/NY line.  They have a ton of Tim Horton's coffee shops in and around the area.  Is the coffee as good as advertised?  What about food?

[DKrol]

Dunks if I'm out and about, if I'm at home I have Dunks k-cups.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Today it was a good Ethiopian blend.  Out running errands and a place called The Coffee Tree was convenient.  Packed to the brim with people. They're pricier than Starbucks by a few cents.   Excellent coffee though.

[Lexii, harbinger of chaos and sexual anarchy]

I  don't  really drink coffee, at home it's generally pre-mixed cappuccino or tea
Occasionally (as in once a month at most) I get a Starbucks Frappuccino

[Hillary pays minimum wage]

I thought all offices supplied free coffee? That's the only coffee I've ever known.

[Wake Me Up When The Hard Border Ends]

Coffee? Don't drink any of that, give me a nice cup of tea any day!

[Tender Branson]

From my coffee machine ...

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

Starbucks, YUM.

[Ban my account ffs!]

I've decided Dunkin Donuts Coffee is on the bad list.  It's caffeine... but it is not good coffee.  McDonalds is another common coffee provider with off tasting coffee that certain avid followers seem to love. 

I'm not a coffee snob because I can tolerate bad coffee just fine.  But I am becoming a coffee connoisseur in that I've actually realized what good coffee is.  I prefer Colombian because it is ever so slightly fermented before they roast it.  And fermentation does a whole lot of good to a whole lot of our foods and drinks in the flavor department. 

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

I got $80. in Starbucks gift cards for Christmas.   All is well.
