Hate to admit it, but Starbucks Pike Place roast is awesome. I wouldn’t personally pay that much for coffee, but my wife buys it and I’ll happily drink her coffee.

Cafe Bustelo. Every morning. And whatever I can get my hands on during the day. Company I work with has the big Starbucks machines at most of the property's, which makes a really mediocre cup that you have to add crap too to be potable. But at the main office they have a big Kureg and every kind of K-cup you could think of.
Yea, Bustelo is one of my favorites. About 30 years ago I was staying on a boat on the Miami river in Miami, and there was a really nice Cuban restaurant close by, I'd walk over there and have coffee with a local group. They take their coffee, and Bustello was their favorite, in a demitasse cup with loads of sugar. Having coffee with people, learning the way they make it and drink it is a great way to break the ice. You can't go to New Orleans without going to the Cafe Dumond and having a latte and Beignets (sp?) If you're in Canada you don't say lets get some coffee, it's let's have a coffee. i guess I just like coffee.

I operated a coffee house for a few years. Brand of coffee doesn't matter, TYPE of coffee and roast matters.
100% Arabica is the best. All coffee originates from 1 mountain in Turkey. The soil and climate determine flavor.

Starpukes is burnt grass.

90% of what we drink is Viridian Cowboy Blend. Roasted in Duncan, Okla. We run it through a Mr Coffee. Cowboy camp coffee is an occasional indulgence. Always with a splash of heavy cream and some coconut sugar (not as sweet as cane or corn sugar and diabetic safe), from a Mason jar. Coffee stops at 11 am.

Grew up in house full of coffee and cigarettes. Papa had a 22 cup percolator, got started at daylight and turned off at bedtime. Grandma drank 1 cup, at breakfast. Mom and Dad drank coffee all day, too. Uncle (Mom's older brother) never drank coffee or alcohol, never smoked; even with Army and working oilfield. Hated the tastes.

I dont do fru fru, designer coffee flavors. I dont do ice coffee, though granddaughter loves them. Coffee is an acquired taste and different tastes are acquired.
