Tim Horton's
What? No Tim Hortons????? A little surprised that this one didn't come up. Really big in Canada and some Northern areas. My normal brew is 1/2 pot of Folgers Classic Roast, but Tim Hortons when I can get it. My daugher-in-law's parents live in Canada and she brings me back some on each trip. It's a very fine grind which I think enhances the flavor. Good stuff!

Take normally Folgers Freeze Dried, Cream and Sugar
Grind them sometimes...
The Best...Cuban, South Beach, FL serves it up nicely, Recommended
Worst, the stuff in MRE's
Carry a small container of compressed Folgers crystals in my fanny pack for unexpected delays in the woods. Expected delays have premix (Coffee, Cream, Sugar) in tied off plastic bags or in MRE heat zip lock bags. Have extra supply in the truck and backpack in ziplock bags!
Good post!

There you go.
I buy the bean in the two pound bag. Dark French Roast. Grind at home on the Turkish grind setting. It looks like black baby powder. We use a 1/4 cup measuring
spoon lightly packed per 12 cup brew.
Comes out nice black and strong. No cream or sugar.
The HH6 and I go through aboout 3 pots a day. One pot for each kid.
Me thinks Peet's is about as good as you can get.
The San Francisco Bay brand works well when I cant get Peets.
edit to add:
Farmer Bros, coffee is right here in town. THE Farmer Bros are customers, and I like their coffee as well-they bring us some quite often..

Starbucks or Peets. Normally I just go to a coffee shop and buy coffee when I'm at home.
We just got back from Have Ace and while we were there, there was some Dunkin doughnut coffee, and Maxwell left over coffee in our planning room. My team leader and I looked at each other and said "lets go to walmart" which we did and bought starbucks coffee. We made a pot every day since our hours were super long. The only thing I wish I did bring to Have Ace was a portable coffee thermos for the long night time hours. But oh well.

I started roasting my own coffee about a year ago. My own coffee, ground 2-10 days after roasting is the best I've ever had. I don't think its because I'm good at it but just due to the freshness. I roast it with a heat gun in a steel bowl. If you google "dog bowl method" you can find detailed instructions on it. I get my green beans here for $5 a pound: http://www.sweetmarias.com/sweetmari...e-sampler.html They also have some good guides and a very active forum with people that take it a lot more seriously than I ever would. It takes about 30 minutes to roast a pound so when I am busy I drink Folgers dark or french roast.
I've ordered some roasted samples from some of the expensive online dealers and still prefer mine.
If you decide to try make sure you do it outside!

At home I like Bustelo cafe espresso made in my Bialetti stovetop brewer with a little cream and sugar
At work on the ambulance I enjoy a Starbucks Americano with a splash of cream a sprinkle of cinnamon and four sugars in the raw

Recently, my dear ol Dad brought out his, "Camp Pot," and the brew from that pot on an open gas flame stove every morning is delicious!
Too bad I cannot partake of it very often, and am subjected to a commercial brand when I have the craving...just light, sweet, and full of love. Haha

How do you take it? cream and sugar preferable, but just one or the other will do in a pinch.
How do you make it? Coffee maker.
Do you grind your own beans or just purchase pre-ground coffee? Grind it fresh.
What's the best you've had? Anything from a small coffee shop in Hale'iwa, Oahu.
The worst? Any coffee is good coffee when you have nothing to begin with.
What would you recommend? http://www.roastmaster.com
Do you grab coffee on the road and if so, whose? Yes I do and I fortunately have no major preference, kinda coffee whorish if you will.
