I don't like starbucks either, I do like the dark roast from Joe Muggs thatis located in books-a-million. It is the cheapest they have.

I just found some 100% Kona coffee on sale (ended today) for $20.00 per 16 0z. with free shipping. That's a pretty good price for 100% Kona and I blend it with other beans sometimes. Even at that price I can make a lot of coffee for less than what Starbucks costs. This thread has inspired me to let that Starbucks card expire. I'll just put my Kona coffee in a Starbucks mug, go in and get a comfy seat, enjoy the free internet and check my IAP threads as I enjoy each sip. hehehehe

Tin Can Sailor

To this day, the best cup of coffee is still Navy coffee After drinking that for 23 years, anything else is just junk. Nothing beats a good cup of mud.

To even call some of what I drank in the Navy coffee is playing fast and loose with the English language "Stud Horse P---" was how we referred to it. Particularily at about 2am from the urn that had been made at 8pm.

I learned to drink coffee in the Navy, but I have to agree about the actual name for it.... as I remember, on the ship they made coffee at 0500 for breakfast in two(2) 10 gallon? urns... they didn't remake it until that was gone... we only had about 100 on the ship and 20 gallons of coffee lasted a loooooooooooooong time.

I was a Tin Can Sailor and we had around 210 - 225 most of the time. They made coffee at 2000 and that stayed around until 0500 - at about 0200/0300 it got to where it would disolve the spoon if you tried to stir it.

Ever since we bought our Kurig we've been big fans of Emirl's "Big easy Intense", when on the road Micky Dee's ain't bad.

I'm no fan of Emirl's coffee (or his food, for that matter), but on the road, we drink one of two coffees. We have cuismart grind and brew with a thermos caraf. If the show is close enough, this pot will keep the Dunkin Donuts coffee warm overnight.

If it is longer, it is hard to beat McDonalds $.99 coffee with real half and half and real sugar.

If you ever get the chance to travel to Key West, be sure to try Baby's Coffee. We like Baby's Private Buzz so much that we have it shipped here for special occasions.

If you want to take your coffee experience to the next level, try roasting some nice fresh green beans and you'll NEVER visit a Starbucks again or buy two year old stale coffee from a grocery store again! :biggrin:

It's a shame how Americans have been duped into believing that cheap coffee beans that have sat around in warehouses for over a year then over-roasted to hide the bland, stale taste is what coffee is supposed to taste like.

Kona is not my favorite coffee but of all the Kona coffees I have tried, I like Lions Gate the best http://www.coffeeofkona.com/). I order their green beans for approx $10 a pound then roast them myself to a mild roast which produces a very smooth cup of coffee.......... pretty hard to beat.

Here's an interesting site to visit, I order some of my green beans and supplies from them...... http://www.sweetmarias.com/index.php , home roasting will turn you into a coffee snob overnight....... but your taste buds will thank you!

We too bought the Kurig and the wife uses it for coffees of every type and I use it for the hot water and a green tea bag. LOL But it only comes out to 50 cents a cup, and the company is great with replacement of a defective machine. The pump in them seems a little cheap. Prone to clogging. But the company stands behind it.

I tried starbucks...tasted like someone crapped in my cup. I'll stick to Dunkin Donuts or McDonalds actually has a nice coffee.

I'm probably going to regret this, but what is the story behind the reference for that statement?

How about some Kopi Luwak coffee? (No, I've never tried it...and have no plans to)...

I think someone should volunteer to have a cup (without googling it first)

It may have some reference to this earlier post - or just a blatant opinion on Starbucks coffee.
