I was just realizing I'm the last of the old thermos carriers at work. Thought I'd see if anyone still drinks this beverage and what you like.

I have a grinder and I lve fresh ground in the morning. Tried 8'oclock & when I was in Montana they had a brand at Costco called Seattle Mt. very good.

I'm not for flavored coffee. If ypu want hot chocalate then have it but I like plain coffee sometimes with coffeemate, NO sugar.

I also drink Maxwell house when I can't grind and instant can also serve well. So let's hear it, anyone drink coffee and what do you like or am I the last of a dying breed?

I carry a thermos and drink my coffee black.

I have a coffee grinder/maker, love the 8 Oclock beans but try others from time to time. I clean it often as well as scour my thermos out.
It's the only reason I get outta bed in the morning.

Fill my thermos everyday and also drink it black.Yuban for me.

I get the San Fransisco french roast at Costco and grind it all there...then every morning my wife makes it for me. I still drink coffee from a thermos rather than buy it every day from a stand and figure I have more money left over for more important things like beer and chew.

French Roast, freshly ground, all the way. Seattle Mt brand is good - we generally mix it half and half with Starbucks FR.

Then my wife steals the first half cup....... she likes that first hit Euro-style, and we don't make weak batches!

i like french roast s&w not very fancy but its gooood with cream & sugar,I like it black too wife thinks its too strong though but id drink it all day if i knew i wouldnt be in the bathroom every 5 minutes draining it out the other end
i do like to cary a thermos when im hunting though

My cup has ben known to walk away. Some times I wonder what I did.

I'm a coffee snob, the best I've ever had was Blue Bottle coffee from Oakland, they are as looney about their coffee as the gun looneys are around here. They'll only ship the day of roast, it's expensive but 100% small batch, high quality beans.

For everyday, I love Peet's Major Dickenson blend, not sure if Peet's is out on the east coast though.

I either brew a full french press in the morning pour a cup and thermos a second cup for the afternoon. Or I make a single drip in the morning and settle for office swill in the afternoon.

+1.

Hottern a three dolla pistol and thick enough to float a crowbar.

Folgers or Maxwell house Columbian since you no longer can get Arbuckle's. Black is the ONLY way to drink coffee. The rest I call "Candy Coffee".

Strong and black, like I like my m... nevermind

anyway I have a thermos or two around and seldom do more than rinse my cup from day to day.

Kent

I thought that was cold and bitter, how you like your women I mean.

That's true also...I'm Bi I guess

My thermos quit working. When I got it my wife said it would keep hot stuff hot and cold stuff cold, but I filled it with hot soup and a popsicle and it didn't work. Cheap Chinese crap.

I like Eight O'Clock or Dunkin Donuts beans. We buy 'em by the case.

No candy, no milky drinks, no frothy pretend coffee. Make mine truck stop coffee. Just black, thanks.

At work the company provides a thermos of coffee for us, but it's pretty awful stuff. It will keep you somewhat awake though, just because of the taste, so I drink it black.

At home, my wife is a coffee connoisseur, so we get whole bean Columbian from Costco and grind it in a burr grinder. We use a French Press for brewing, and I have to say, it makes the best coffee I've had anywhere.

Not that there's anything wrong with that...

I am younger and carry a thermos, so I will carry on the tradition.

I like medium-strong coffee with cream and sugar or black, coffee-mate only is ok.

How do it know?

I don't drink it all day...but I drink a half a pot in the morning. On the weekends I make it in a french press.

I have a grinder but not a good burr grinder. I usually grind my 8'oclock beans at the store then store them air tight.

Community Coffee is good too. For the drip maker, I buy Maxwell House, or Folgers, whichever is on sale...the darkest I can find.

Drink ONLY black.


Recently my old Braun maker gave up the ghost. It was old, and actually ran hot water over the gounds...today's don't heat it enough to make good coffee. My district judge had one like mine, though he's not a coffee freak...I begged, and he gave me his out of his office. Happy day! I actually offered to buy or replace, but he just gave it to me.

Costco Seattle Colombian. They roast it in the store and I grind it every morning. At home Sugar and Cream. Away in a thermos, Hot black and STRONG!. Bear

This may be flame time, but I like Walmart arabica(sp)
instant,big over full table spoon full for 8 oz cup.
No sugar or creamer. About 8 or 10 a day.

Still carry a thermos, but I've gotten a lot more picky about what I put in it...got a burr grinder, fresh ground beans (currently Sulawesi Toraja Peaberry)and a French Press, made strong. I like just a little turbinado sugar to take the edge off, 'bout half a teaspoon per 8 oz cup.

Life is too short for bad coffee.

Regular ol' medium roast Folger's.

Have a Bunn at the house for a 3 minute pot in the morning, and another pot at the office. Four of us in the office that keep the pot pretty fresh.

Yup,I'm a coffee drinker too,and a thermos carrier.A 30 yr old stainless Stanley.I leave the house in the morning and drink at the local gathering place for a couple of hours before work.I leave about 0715 to begin my day,and stop by a few more times for a cup during the morning.I carry my thermos when huntng,traveling,or working out of town.At home,we drink folgers,but I love community when we can find it.Starbucks has some good stuff too,and I hit them when traveling.Usually switch over to beer afer lunch! Lightman

I have had Yuban and it's a good coffee. Don't know how many remember Chase Bros. but we can still get it, not as good as t used to be.

Tried off brand at Aldi's once called "coffee". Purtiy sure I drank dirt!!

Two pounds of Folgers Gormet Supreme Dark roast mixed with one pound of French Market. I drink a 12 cup pot in the morning (with a spot of milk), piss like a racehorse till 10:00 and have a cup of whatever there is at work. If I get to draggin in the afternoon I'll hit another cup. I can do without it during the day but if I don't get my morning fix, there's going to be a problem, then the police are gonna come, and somebody is going to have to clean up all the blood, .......

Alan

Carry the same thermos for 32years and dark roast yuban the sronger the better. foe a good coffee maker try a Bunn mine has been a favorite.

Black coffee, thermos when I need to and I like Hill Brothers. miles

Same here. Made in a french press every morning. Best bang of good coffee for the buck IMO.


Travis

we used to grind and it is good, but have gone back to Folgers and Yuban, my wife likes the latter, me the former.


just drink it black, maybe some real cream in the evening if available.

I'd bout rather have a good cup of coffee with half and half than any other type dessert.

have an old Stanley thermos that goes hunting or on camping trips, but in town I've a pot on at home and at work so no need for a thermos

I like my coffee black and my bourbon neat.

I like light roast coffee. OK and dark roast too.

Had some Cuban coffee once that was really good. Cafe Cubano. I don't know if it's the unobtainium aspect of it or what, but it just seemed like such damn good coffee.

Folgers 100% Columbian medium dark roast 'cause I can't get my "bean fix" anywhere near where I live.
Five or six cups before noon, then no more caffeine for the day.
Own a real Thermos and a Thermos coffee cup that holds about 32oz. so it's good for a drive.
Drink it black, maybe a bit of Sweet n' Low if it's somebody elses idea of dark roast.
Can't stand most Starbucks coffee. I like a dark roast, can't stand burnt coffee.

Ed

Fleet average black...jorge

+1 on black coffee. Our local Costco has Cafe Cubano most of the time. We drink it daily. Maybe not the same stuff you mentioned but it has the same name. It's brewed by Mayorga.

I brew it fresh twice a day, once in the morning and once when I get home from work. Otherwise I'm a zombie. I use Eight O'clock 100% Colombian, with milk and sugar. To me, Starbucks Coffee tastes like crap.

Drink hot and black. My pot starts brewing at 4:30 am and I drink nearly a pot before wifey gets up. Secretary has a pot waiting on me at work. No frufru crap but have been know to put a big dose of whiskrey in at night...

Folgers through the Bunn here at home before work, straight black and hot. At work we've got one of the restaurant style Bunns with the top warmer, plumed into the water supply it pretty much runs all day. They've started using bundled Folgers filter packs and kind of weak now.

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?

same here, Maxwell House, in a cup ( usually dirty one )

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.

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.

Coffee, black. Tim Hortons brand, just the right blend.


Lynn

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.

odessa, that blend is available in the states, but it's $40 a pound lol

I like mine hot, sweet, and creamy! Both!

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

I don't believe I will be buying any at that price - maybe my wife and I will get back to Jamaica again one day and have another cup.

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.

HEB dark french roast bean, burr ground and a Freedom Press for 3 1/2 mins and poured into a thermos.......black. A pot every morning.

I love mine first thing in the morning.
One of the greatest inventions... a coffee maker with a Clock!

I love mine just like my wimen:
Hot, black and strong!

I roast green Kenyan beans to 'full city' or better, then grind them fresh every morning..

Black 95% of the time.. Real cream with sugar once every couple months..

[quote=Miss Lynn]Coffee, black. Tim Hortons brand, just the right blend.


Lived in Pompano Bch. Fla. for a while. It was home to the only 2 Tim Horton's in the lower 48 for many years. Very addicting.
I'm guessing they were there so the corporate boys could have a deductible winter vacation.

The closest one to me is 27 miles away, praised God when they made the coffee available in stores nationwide. Cut back on the gas bill pretty good

Coffee drinker and occasionally a thermos carrier. Usually Kona blend from Sam's club, grind my own beans, made strong and consumed black. Occasionally use a french press. Adding anything to coffee perverts the experience and makes candy water, IMHO.

A friend, knowing of my addiction, bought me a t-shirt that said:

"I like my coffe like I like my women...

ground up and in the freezer"

He's not a friend any more.

There are Tim Horton's all over the States now. Seems like VA, KY, TN, NC.

Folgers brand here, dark roast. I take mine with sugar and whipping cream on the duck hunting mornings, otherwise I don't drink it too often. The hubby takes a Thermos every morning. One of his Christmas presents last year was a 3 minute Bunn coffeemaker...he adores it.

If mine crapped out today I'd have a new one by dark this evening.
I've been drinking Folgers Colombian, French Roast, or Black Silk lately.
My wife got me some Thundermuck a while back and it's great, but too expensive to drink in the quantities I'm accustomed to.
I like a double shot of the Taster's Choice Colombian instant in the afternoon too.
And whichever kind I'm drinking, it's always black.

Wife got me a mug and a shirt with a picture of my dog growling the caption read: "No Coffee No Workee".

Community Dark Roast for me! or Mello Joy ever once and a while.

I make it strong, 6 heaping tablespoons per 12 cups, cream and sweet-n-low

I have a stainless thermos

I do like starbucks mocha too!

Douwe & Egberts coffee concentrate syrup. Use about 1/8th cup for a full pot.

Peets brand, or Peerless French Roast, made thick. with a thimble of half-n-half

Me too! No Dead Tim's in Sweden that I have seen.

John

i carry a thermos an like my coffee hot, black, and strong also prefer just about anything thats hazelnut if not that then second choice is green mountain medium -strong

Black and strong.

Nothing added to it whatsoever.

The current favorite is Folgers Black Silk.

Black, strong, Columbian or French Roast, ground just before brewing. Eight to ten cups every morning, one or two at lunch. If I had to buy it at a coffee stand at $3 a cup I couldn't afford it. A thermos is cheap by comparison.

I prefer stove top percolated coffee,black,and Luzianne from a percolator on a wood or coal stove is my favorite.

Black coffe something strong like a French Roast.

I got my Stanley Thermos 34 years ago and it still suits me fine. Had to replace the plug and had a dickens of a time finding an old style without the pour through design.
Anyway, I like my coffee with only a little hot water, else it is a bit gritty an dry.
