OK Du'ers, what's the BEST cup of coffee you ever had?
Krispy Kreme's "Bold" is absolutely fantastic! For home brewed coffee, Folger's "Gourmet Supreme" is VERY good too!

3. Another vote for Dunkin' Donuts
Good memories of going there with my parents while my younger siblings were in Sunday School :-).

6. Sounds good!
As you can tell, I like my coffee strong. Also, I don't put ANYTHING in it! No sugar, no creamer, no milk!

13. Go get some of this then -
They roast it in the store, and you can get a 5 lb. bag of beans for about 7 bucks. I am a complete coffee freak (must grind my own) and have tried just about everything imagineable. This really is good.

5. Don't answer. This is a trick poll.
If you answer anything other than "Zomby Coffee," you're asking for a world of trouble.

Trust me. And if you don't...go ahead and answer. Just go right ahead.

Everyone KNOWS Zomby Coffee is the OFFICIAL coffee of DU.

:evilgrin:

8. A carafe of Macy's French Press
NOT the Macy's department store, but rather, an indy coffeehouse in Flagstaff, AZ, which roasts its own beans and serves nice large carafes of French Press, which you plunge yourself.

Also, some Jamaican Blue Mountain I obtained from Gloria Jean's in Seattle. Ground the beans myself.

I agree that KK makes good coffee. FAR better than the glorifed 7-11 swill they sell at DD.

10. Folgers in the morning
But it must have a half a shot of Crown Royal in it, and you must drink it while sitting on the porch, over looking Sassaginagak lake in Manitoba. Heaven on earth.

15. All German cafes serve the best coffee ever!
Strong and rich, but not bitter and always with real cream!
(We won't get into the pastry!)

:toast:

Starbucks comes close, but not exactly.

17. Mine.
start with lightly roasted Kona beans (Bad Ass, if you can get them. Oh, that place smelled wonderful! I swear you could smell it for m=iles down the highway)
Then brew it and make it sweet and use haffenhaff to lighten it up, then enjoy it.

I like being gently awakened in the morning, not kicked and screamed at by R. Lee Ermey in a coffee cup.
