Any coffee drinkers here (dumbest question ever maybe)?

[victoryredchevy]

I love coffee. I like it best black. My favorite is Yuban. Even though it comes in a can, it is suprisingly better that most canned coffee. I also like 8 O'Clock, Dunkin Donuts and Biff's.

One large cup (24 ounces) first thing in the morning and another one after dinner, around 7 PM. Without it I get the worse headaches imaginable that only caffeine can cure. Black, no sugar. Eight O'Clock Regular whole bean is my regular purchase, standard drip coffee machine.

I used to drink way too much coffee but keep it down to one cup a day now. I use a six cup, stove top espresso maker. I favour currently, Najjar lebanese coffee, to which I add, cardamom, star anise, cinnamon, black pepper and cassia bark.

I love my morning coffee. I recently found Kirkland's (Costco brand) Sumatra French Roast whole beans. It's an Indonesian dark roast with a fantastic flavor black. At about $12 for 3 lbs the price is right too. I use an automatic drip machine and it works great. I probably average 6-8 cups per day (3-4 mugs).

I did recently get into Yerba Mate as well. It's definitely a different experience, especially when drunk the traditional way out of a gourd with a filtered straw (bombilla). Less caffeine jitters and more of a body high than coffee. There is a thread about Yerba Mate somewhere on the forum with links to more information.

I drink 2-3 16oz mugs of home brewed coffee every morning and 2 after lunch. Always with milk (whole) and sugar.

It looks like I'll be reducing one cup in the morning and one cup after lunch soon. Other than that it's tea or water. I've gotten off the seltzer water kick at least until it gets warmer outside. I like to drink a hot beverage almost all the time. Iced coffee is for the birds IMO. My wife started drinking coffee again so I started making more and now that I've been feeding the caffeine monster he's grown to surprising proportions. Soon I'll be buying decaf and mixing until I ween myself off of caffeine all together. I've done it a couple of times before.

My preference is Kona or Jamaican if I can afford it but lately it's been Maxwell, Folgers, or Chock. I actually really like Choc full-o-nuts. I usually get what's cheapest at BJ's. When I'm out and about and I need that fix I really dig on Dunkin'.

Ahh, yes! Coffee!

I've always been a big fan of coffee. I drink probably around 4 cups worth a day; lots of cream (milk,) lots of sugar. Although, whenever trying a new coffee out, I do first have to try it black. I always brew with a percolator, and am partial to Latin American coffees (the nuttier the better!) Guatemalan and Mexican coffees being my absolute favorite. Kona coffees from Hawaii are also really good if you have a sweet tooth, but the cost is a little prohibitive for me.

On that note... I've never tried that "cat-shit" coffee made popular in the movie The Bucket List, and really don't care to.

I just switched to a french press myself. They are awesome, I just now need to start grinding my own beans.

About two cups a day. Mostly just Folgers Dark. It's the "best part of waking up...."

[precious007]

I drinking some Trader joe's blend with mint. Delicious. It's all about the dunkin donuts cofee though.

[truthwolf1]

4-6 cups
Any Breakfast Blend. Dunkin has become the new folgers.

I used to be a coffee fiend - 10+ cups of strong black coffee a day, but nowadays I have only 1 or 2 cups a day, with lots of milk, and 1 or 2 cups of tea.

I don't really have a huge preference of what my coffee is, but I try to stick to milder blends these days. I prefer kenyan to columbian these days.

[ratcheer]

I love coffee, too. I drink about two mugs (approx. 4 cups) per day. I like it best with half and half, but sometimes I enjoy it black. I cannot drink it after early afternoon or I will be awake the following night.

I have a French press, too. I love the coffee I make in it, but my wife brews large pots of coffee in a drip maker every morning, so I only get to have French press coffee occasionally.

We freshly grind whole beans every morning. My current three favorite kinds are Gevalia Traditional Roast, to which we have subscribed for around 20 years or more, and two we get at Costco - a Jamaican Blue Mountain blend and Don Pablo 100% Columbian.

i too used to be about a 2 pot a day drinker, i have since cut back to maybe 4 or so cups a day and hot tea, 8 O'Clock dark italian roast is my preferred cup o joe. i will either use my cuisinart grinder/brewer or if i just want a cup i will grind up a bit and put it through my old sensao machine.

I used to drink 2 12 cup pots of coffee per day. I've cut way back due to money issues, and now have about 10 cups per day, with tea as a fill in. My preferred coffee is 8 O'Clock French roast. What I have now is Aldi store brand, and it's amazingly good. It isn't exceptional in any way; just a good solid, average cup of coffee like you might get in a diner somewhere. It's really the first discount coffee I've had that was drinkable. The last discount brand I got was Acme store brand French roast. That was a little unusual due to it tasting much better cold than hot. Really strange. It's actually worth a purchase if you like iced coffee, or cold coffee in general.

I always drink it black, no sugar. The only exception to that, is when I make cappuccino for my daughter. I have one with her, and I make it with a little bit of sugar, and frothed milk. My preferred maker is French press, and my preferred easy maker is electric perc. I'm currently using an autodrip, and it satisfactory, for the ease and quantity it makes.
