nips - I can feel ya on that.

I grew up in a family that did the coffee thing but thought it was awful and my Mom and I did the Tea thing.

Then I went to college and for the sake of spending I started doing coffee (free refills on coffee but only two cups for tea then you have to buy another bag). And I just drank coffee here and there but, as I grew older and tried different coffees and was in the home of Dunkin Donuts I got to enjoy coffee a great deal. Thank goodness I wasn't in the Starbucks area.
I have also gone back to adding tea in the evenings and it's a nice change.

@jodie34,
Friday's word of the day:
Quote:
Wedge-floating
Concentrated, strong. There is an old saying that camp cooks test coffee by dropping an iron wedge into the pot. If the wedge floats, the coffee is too strong.

Vance Randolph's Down in the Holler, 1953.
Quote published in the Forgotten English day calendar.

@jcboy,
Ditto here. We have a "Pennsylvania Coffee Station" that serves a really great black and tan blend. SMOOOTH and just a little smoky (not burnt like Charbucks)

I grab mine from a small privately owned shop near my home. I do Starbucks whenever that shop is closed for whatever reason, but my standard any place I live or travel for work is to find a place that's privately owned, mom and pop shop, that has decent coffee and plunk my coin down in their establishment.

I only drink coffee at home. I buy whole beans (German coffee)
and have an Italian coffee machine where it grinds every cup fresh. Very rarely does any bought coffee compare to mine, so I rather drink it at home.

@jodie34,
Hello community,

Dunkin' Donuts is America's largest retailer of coffee-by-the-cup, serving nearly 1.5 billion cups of brewed coffee each year. On an average day, Dunkin' Donuts sells more than 30 cups of freshly brewed coffee each second. Dunkin' Donuts uses 100-percent Arabica coffee beans and has its own coffee specifications, which are recognized by the industry as a superior grade of coffee. Coffee beans are not beans, but the pits of a fruit that resemble cherries. Hawaii is the only state in the U.S. to produce coffee.

Best Regards,
Mark Pal

@Mark Per,
Dunkin DOnuts just does NOT know what good coffee tastes like. They use those damn brown drip pots (red for decaf). THEN they leave the damn things on the burners and, if they dont finish a pot, thje Indioan kid making the coffee just fills up the new brew on top of the left over dregs.
BLAGGHH
Dunkin needs to assure that all their ESL owners/partners are savvy to what the phrase "fresh coffee" means.

I HATE OLD COFFEE so I avoid Dunkin Donuts like the plague (anyway, Im not nuts about their donuts anyway-they dont make any yeast raised donuts anymore , so everything is a cruller

@CalamityJane,
I love good strong coffee, too. However, i have the unfortunate habit of drinking two or three or four mugs a day.

@farmerman,
I bought a bag of the Dunkin Donuts coffee once and the coffee tasted strange to me, and I do not burn coffee in the pot, at least not on any routine basis. Hard to pin down exactly how it was strange but I never bought it again. It wasn't that it was Arabica beans either.

I love having coffee daily early in the morning, before getting ready for my work.

I make it at home when I get up early enough. There is a place on Main St. That sells some amazing custom blends. I love their snickerdoodle coffee and the Southlake blend.

I only like Dunkin Donuts as iced coffee. Their hot coffee always tastes burnt to me.

I will do Starbucks when Ivdon't have other options. I love their gingerbread latte, but they only have it at Christmas time.
