The Mr. Coffee mug warmer keeps my coffee hot.

One, maybe two cups every morning. If working that day, the coffee goes with me in an insulated mug. I use coffee from StrongTree Organic Coffee . The folks that run it, Chris and Nora, used to live here, and roasted coffee under the brand name "Sweetwater". They were from NY, and wanted to go home. At least they do internet sales. They are, without a doubt in the absolute top tier of roasters, and Chris probably is currently the best in America at sourcing.

I drink mine stong and black. Carry a small thermos to school with me so I dont have to pay for the super expensive crap on campus. I have the timer set on my pot so its about done brewing when I get up in the morning. While at home, my girlfriend usually has a pot made all the time.

The Wife buys it, always good stuff. I never ask her how much she pays because I don't want to know. I suspect more the Maxwell and Yuban.
She buys it, I brew it in the french press each morning and bring it to her in bed along with her laptop. That first hour in the bedroom with the fireplace glowing sets the pace of the day.

I drink it black, brand doesn't matter. I like it strong not weak. I enjoyed coffee in Germany, they like it strong also. I have a coffee pot in my office.
There's always coffee brewing in the S.O. somewhere, 24/7 365. I usually have a mug of coffee or iced tea, with me when i'm driving.
Years ago, the Alladin brand thermos's were made in Nashville, TN. The company that bought the Stanley and Alladin brands, are based in Seattle now. They moved their manufacturing to China, from the US. Who would guess?

I love coffee! I use a burr grinder. The best coffee I've had lately was Costco's Ruwandan beans. A small shipment and they ran out before I could get back to buy more. If you're really a coffee 'freak', check out this place: http://www.intelligentsiacoffee.com/ They have fabulous stuff, albeit $.

Was carrying a thermos until today. We put in a small coffee maker at the office that is adequate. Coffee is black only for me. Favorite is Caribou Daybreak blend, freshly ground. Not a fan of the real strong blends like you often find at Starbucks. Not a SB fan in general.

Coffee black. Anything flavored or with cream/sugar is gay.

Coffee black. Anything flavored or with cream/sugar is gay. Pretty well sums it up for me. Anything unblack and/or sweet is girly man junk. Make mine stong and black and early in the morning.

I will drink any brand you are serving, the darker the better (I buy what's on sale), drink it black. Now as to the best I ever drank; it was in Jamaica, coffee was a local bean known as Blue Mountain.

Black, dark, and plentiful, my motto 'bout coffee.
My Thermos is over thirty-years old, but doesn't see the daily use it did for most of those years.
I do carrry some bottled water, and Folgers instant for instances where the coffee I have access to is awful, or absent. I can always find a microwave, and in just over a minute, have a passable cup of joe.

I thought that was cold and bitter, how you like your women I mean. I like mine hot, sweet, and creamy! Both!

Lynn Tim Horton's coffee is just about the only thing I miss about Canada.

While we are on the subject, I find that these thermos' work better for me. Mine will keep coffee hot for over 24 hours if never opened. Sometime I will fill mine up on Monday morning before I leave home on a trip and then will have coffee available and not use it that day. Next morning it will be hot enough that you can't hold your finger in it. miles thermos
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

i guess it's something about the fact that THAT BEAN only grows at THAT SPOT in the world and they say it's that much better than everything else.
i had a cup, it was good but not amazing. i have had other cups i thought were as good. maybe it was the way it was prepared or something.
however you had it fresh, in country. bet it was awesome.
