Dunkin' Donuts regular is my favorite! I've been using the flavored creamer lately, and I like it even better that way now. I had a tall mocha from Starbucks last week and it was good, but sometimes I just want regular coffee. I like McD's regular coffee and Chick-fil-a coffee, too.

My favorite is Illy espresso. I have a FrancisX5 that I use to make my wonderful espresso each morning using the Illy Dark Machiatto espresso grind blend and steam some fresh low fat milk...great wake me up. Reminds me of when i was in italy...pretty much everyone used Illy over there (some of the best and cheepest espresso you could find).

DH buys green beans from Sweet Maria's or Brew Organic and roasts them himself in a popcorn popper. It's really amazing coffee! Super fresh and half the price of roasted beans. My favorites are usually from Sumatra or Ethiopia, although we've had some wonderful beans from Brazil recently.

Once roasted we grind and brew our coffee in either a French press or a Moka pot if we are in the mood for espresso.

I drink coffee black. If I'm going to drink my calories, then I want wine!

I like plain old maxwell house or yuban. I like it strong and I use real sugar and half and half. For a treat I'll use heavy cream. YUM!

Oh I love coffee for a treat I'll have a Starbucks non-fat latte, Starbucks is not my favorite by any stretch but it's most convenient, if I'm downtown I'll have an Intelligentsia non-fat latte (treat cuz I usually make some mediocre coffee at home to save $). For extra special treat, I'll have Dunkin Donuts coffee with cream and sugar, this is like a blankie to me, super comforting and makes me feel so good, or a specialty coffee from Starbucks like a non-fat pumpkin latte or something similar. I haven't tried Caribou yet but want to.

zenor77, I'm intrigued by roasting green coffee beans in a popcorn popper. Could you elaborate a bit? I'd love to try it myself! Thanks.

Agree with the wine, absolutely, though I do love 1% milk in my coffee -- I figure I need the calcium, too!!
