I've never spent my money at a starbucks until I went to TN on a mission trip. I took one of the kids to buy poison ivy stuff and he wanted a starbucks. Spent $8 and it was totally not worth it.
I use to grind my own, but now just use folgers(and I have a cheapo mr. coffee to brew it) Paramount breakfast blend was really good/I got hooked on it when I worked in a restaurant(especially the ice coffee with fresh 1/2 & 1/2), not sure if that is a local company, but it has always been the brand I'd buy. I would buy it in bulk/ whole beans to grind.

I only drink a cup a day, so am no longer prioritizing my coffee.
I think the smell is so much better than the flavor~whenever I pass a starbucks I can see how it draws in people! Tim Horton's is now in the area, we'll see how the Starbucks/Horton challenge plays out.

Coffee junkie here!

My favorite is white coffee. It's less acidic, & has 2-3 times more caffeine than regular coffee.
It's almost raw coffee beans, when brewed, is a light tan colored, sometimes has a slight green tint to it.
(The darker the roast, the less caffeine coffee has)

I usually put coconut oil& coconut milk in my coffee & sometimes Stevia.

It's very easy to find in WA (at least western WA). Cash & Carry here sells it, so does my local grocery store (QFC).

If I buy regular coffee, I generally go with a Kona blend, or a light to med roast breakfast type blend.

Eight O'Clock Original ground just before brewing and served black. I have it every morning...just two cups and I am happy everyday.

YEAH DOUBLE THUMBS UP TO THIS.

Except also double the two cups, awh **** quadruple it.

I use a stove top percolator, use one and you will never use gross drip pots again!

stove top percolator makes much better coffee!!! Where can you even find one anymore? Mom always had the glass ones.

Here you go. $15.

I was in Cabela's the other day and they had beautiful percolators, but very very expensive!
We bought one in the camping section of Walmart for like $15.00, if you don't like ordering online

I have 2 Keurig machines at my house. The B70 Platinum and the new VUE machine. I'm partial to the Caribou coffee. However Dunkin Donuts
just made a return to my area. a new one opened up ten minutes from the house. They are always packed and i think its for their awesome coffee.

Trader Joe's House Blend or almost any Dark Roast from Starbucks. Black.

Just recently switched back to a pot from the Keurig.
