    Budweiser? Please, the only good thing about Bud is that the Belgians just bought them and will teach them how to properly brew beer.

    As far as espresso, trust me, what you get in Italy is still pretty different from what you get here in the US.

    I will say this about Starbucks, their Americano coffee is pretty good. Will take that any day over the standard coffees they have there.
    Maybe you can't read as well as taste. I was saying Budweiser sucks just like the coffee at McDonald's.

    And again you show the lack of coffee knowledge when you say the Americano is good because it is an espresso drink.

    I only go to Starbucks in a pinch but prefer to make my own.

    No, I didn't misunderstand, you were implying that I have no taste and am a person who drinks Budweiser.

    And I know that an Americano is a watered down espresso. And believe me, I know about coffee, its part of everyday Italian culture.

    *edit*
    The coffee I usually use to make espresso at home (I usually only drink coffee at home) is Cagliari brand which I bring back whenever I go visit my family. Also good is Dico brand coffe. Both are much better than Illy, Lavazza and the other more popular brands.

    Thank you Helen ;) , I guess everyone on here would consider the coffee I drink vile. I make it as strong as I can and with the french press that is very strong, my coffee cup always has black residue at the bottom.
    well what's the point in weak coffee??? :D

    I've been drinking Maxwell House Lite (50 percent less caffeine) for 10 years or so.

    I think it tastes pretty good, but then again I am used to it. I have a tiny coffeemaker at home and at work, brews 4 cups, but I make less than that.

    Okay I give, I guess that I've never had any coffee because I've never been to Italy. Pretty sure coffee is a part of the culture here in the States as well. And I do recognize that the culture here is younger than there.

    It's just my opinion anyway I shouldn't have ripped on your opinion. I haven't even had McDonald's coffee since it changed. I just have never found a cup I like at any fastfood joint or convenience store.

    Horos, are you saying that espresso is not coffee?
    Correct me if I'm wrong, but that was the impression you gave me.
    Also, I gotta agree with you. I like my coffee strong!
    I really screwed that up. I really Schruted it.

    After living in Hawaii for over 3 years, I got spoiled with Kona. If I have to get coffee out, I agree with the poster who mentioned QT gas stations. They have them all over Atlanta, where I lived before moving to Columbus, and they have awesome coffee. Since I can't get that in Ohio, Dunkin Donuts is my choice when I am out and about. However, I also drink an herbal coffee substitute when I give up caffeine. It's called Dandy Blend, and made properly, is as good as, if not better, than some of the coffee on the market. It is made with dandelion, chickory and sugar beet root, and roasted barley and rye. Pretty good for when you can't have caffeine and still want coffee.

    I like the occasional POT of Kona. Whole bean .
    Also like a couple of the Newman's Own (Green Mountain roasters AND for a good cause) Breakfast blend is good.

    Everyday joe? Maxwell house.

    Overall I prefer a medium roast to anything else.

    Bump.
    Trying out a Gevalia French Vanilla sample we got in our last shipment at work, good stuff! And I'm not usually a fan of flavored coffee. The other sample that someone brought is Jack Daniels whiskey flavored coffee :shock:

    After a week in Canada I've become addicted to Tim Hortons double double! It's perfect :)
    (Oh their hot chocolate is awesome too!) As of now I've been drinking Panera's dark roast cause there's one right next to work. Ahhh caffeine!

    Good stuff!

    Peets! I buy it from the local peets by the pound instead of the grocery store. They usually get it wihtin a day or two of roasting at the local store, so the taste is much better.

    These guys are a local roaster here in San Diego, and make great coffee. The Bird Rock blend is really good, and they do mail order:

    I'm tempted to get a mini-roaster to roast my own beans, but that also may mean that I'm being too obsessive.

    I'll hijack the thread, and ask what type of coffee maker others recommend. I've got a cuisinart that combines the grinder with the brewer that is pretty handy, but I'm thinking it's time for a higher tech maker.
    "You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.
