Where do you get your morning coffee?

[DubCoffman62]

I drink instant, I don't even need a pot. Don't even rag on me, I love it.

Looking for input from the coffee snobs here. I'd like to get a drip coffeemaker to replace the Melitta that just died (it was a PITA but made pretty good coffee). Got a Cuisinart that is just OK at Costco; decided not to pay $300 for a Technivorm nor wait 3 months to buy a Bonavita online for about half that. Anything available locally (central OH) that I'd be happy with? Can't find a Capresso machine in stock anywhere.

Any recommendations? I need strong flavor, especially now that Doc tells me to cut to about 1/4-caf. I drink Italian Roast preferentially, but have to live with Starbucks Espresso Decaf for the decaf portion of the brew.

Don't recommend Zochiruchi or Mister Coffee - they're crap.

Technivorm Moccamaster K 741 AO. Buy directly from Boyd's Coffee, only $219 and free ground shipping. While you're at it, order yourself a pound of the Cafe Rojas. Heaven in a nitro gassed bag!

BTW, I currently get my morning joe from the Keurig. If my coffee industry buddies knew...

Sometimes it's their daughter...but yeah. Pretty much nailed it.

I buy Starbucks AND Dunkin Donuts to make at home.........I tend to drink more coffee in the winter because it's cold. I don't really drink much in the summer, unless it's iced coffee. I don't drink it for the caffeine either, I just like the taste.

I drink it for both, but mostly the taste. There are several really cool local coffee shops here in Lincoln, but although I like the people who run them, I go to Starbucks for the consistency of the flavor. There's less up-and-down in the brew at Starbucks, while my local shops tend to be hit and miss.

The caffeine is a necessary thing once in a while, but the flavor is the most important thing.

This is a very non-thump, thump-esque post in that he is not a coffee drinker, but it is a banal question with a poll.


As for my answer, I go with Einstein's simply because they have a cafe in the building next to where I work. However, my true preference would be Dunkin Donuts.

Would thump use "banal"?

Yes:

Do you like to do it a)vaginal or b)anal?

This is what we have. List is $100, but get a 20% off coupon from Bed Bath & Beyond.

It's six years old and been very reliable. The thermal pot will keep coffee hot for about five or six hours without it tasting burnt. Programmable is nice because I can set it in the evening and stumble into the kitchen and have coffee waiting for me.

If you get it from Dunkin, you may want to pass on this one.

I know girls that drink those things every morning, not that exact one but the variations from McDonald's and Starbucks and yes, they look like they're about to keel over
