LOL yeah I guess I should have clarified that. I guess he gets a 1lb of any variety of coffee every week. Funny thing is that he hates coffee so he just gave me all his freebees. He actually just quit so my source is gone. Have about 5 lbs left though so I should be good for a while.

I have something similar - "press pot", but not that complicated.

I have used one for camping, makes a nice cup, some don't like grounds, doesn't bother me. After reading the link it gave me a few easy ideas to improve my brew.

My daily ritual is a 24oz coffee @ 7-11. Starts to go right through me 2 hours later.

I just like the smell of Folgers. Lol

I can sniff it all day.

But I don't drink coffee at all.

I don't function without coffee....

I have friend who brings me a 3 pound can of Tim Horton's aka TimmyHo's whwnever she goes to her Dad's house in Ontario.

I'm on a first name basis with the baristas at Starbucks. A loy of people don't like Starbucks... it is an acquired taste, much like drinking Guinness (which I also happen to enjoy)

Dunkin Donuts is the Budweiser of coffee...

We have two small local roasters in the area I buy coffee beans from. I like to grind mine fresh if I have the time.

Myself i like Tim Hortons storefront.

Van Houtte Mexican in store bought, very nice.

I also roast green beans, the cheap way, presently Mexican with a touch of Costa Rican. Right now i have a batch of three different levels of roast, kinda covering all bases. Also very nice.

Not a fan of Tim Horton's here. I believe they use Robusta beans = low quality, high caffeine coffee.

Starbucks is ok but there is an acidic taste to their beans. My favourite is Second Cup. Everyone goes there for the lattes but IMO their coffee is better than any other chain I have ever seen.

Yea, tim horton's coffee doesn't really taste like coffee to me.

I'm sold on the Boca Java Club. Excellent selections with a roast date on your order assures freshness. Just finished my 2lb samples from Xmas and ready for more!

There's a site for us Canucks: greenbeanery.ca. I haven't ordered anything there yet but I plan to once my 5 lbs of Second Cup beans are gone.

Gourmet Coffee Roasters - Baby's Coffee - Southernmost Coffee Roasters in America™ - Key West, Florida
for gourmet beans and I just grind up the beans in the morning. I also do like Maxwell House in the morning.

I don't care for Timmy Ho's coffee, but I LOVE STARBUCKS! Black. It's amazing. Also Community Coffee is good. It's what we have at the house. Any Community drinkers here???
