Coffee's drinkers unite! Do you drink coffee? I do.

Every morning I drink either 1) two espress shots over ice with a little nonfat milk to color it, and/or half a pot of Illy coffee I make at home.

In the winter, I drink the Illy coffee hot, and in the summer, I make it the night before, stick in the fridge over night, and then add ice and milk for iced coffee in the morning.

Also, the breakfast sandwiches from Starbacks are not bad.

Never. My work offers all of these gourmet coffees for free at work, but I can't get myself to drink it.

Trader Joes has a 5 country Organic Espresso Roast that rocks.

I use an espresso pot.

(Seriously, I only had to change that much to make it my routine. Youre starting to scare me Mulls.)

If it's some fru-fru iced/blended thing with a ton of milk, sugar & other flavors covered in whipped cream, yes.

Otherwise, never.

I once had a teen employee of Starbucks want to charge me extra for me adding the milk that they have sitting out. I told her if she could show me where on the "drink price board" it says I have to pay for the milk, I would pay it. Then, I left.

The coffee place called Lavazza has something called a blendissima or whatever. Espresso, chocolate hazelnut gelato, "shake mix", ice, and sweetened condensed milk. Disappointingly good.

I stay away from the Rasberry Frappalucci at Starbucks. Gross.

I love coffee. Starbucks is pretty good, but I prefer smaller, mom and pop type coffee shops. But, I really like mocha fraps with a shot of espresso at Starbucks...about the only thing I get there.

I take creamer in my coffee, but not sugar. I can drink it black, if need be, but I prefer a bit of half & half.

You're so funny...you like b-rate coffee, you adore grocery store tub macaroni--yet you won't drink anything but brewed iced tea & made from scratch ranch...Your palate can't decide if it's trailer or pretentious!

Actually according to consumer reports, both McDonalds and DD rated out in the top 3 in taste and quality while Starbucks came in about the middle.

My love for tub macaroni salad comes from the small sliver of white trash in me from my mother's side. It is the opposite end of the gated community spectrum of my youth

Not being a coffee drinker, I wouldn't know this. McDonald's coffee? Really? I believe DD, no problem...but McDonald's? Weird.

Coffee makes me poop.

A lot.

God bless it!

And Ryans right, DD and Mickys coffee is tastier than Starbucks. Whoever said Starbucks coffee tastes burnt is right on. Its like they roast those beans to point where they dont have to grind them anymore. Just scrape up the ash and start a brewin!

I usually go fancy shmancy though and get the espresso shots. I dont like much regular brewed coffee anymore. I roll the Illy in the french press at home, as I cant spring for an espresso maker yet, but it sufices.
