I do have to admit that I LOVED real Italian espresso. Haven't had anything that tastes close to it here. If anyone has, please, please let me know. I'd probably give you my firstborn (well, not really, but I'd be greatful forever).
Heywaitaminute...that second one sounds like an exotic dancer!
Don't it just????? :umno:
hmm. I haven't tried those. I tend to go with white and green teas in the summer, or more fruity herbal blends, then switch to the heavier ones in winter (like it's ever really winter here). I like Darjeeling and Jasmine teas. Have not tried the Lapsang SOuchong but I may have to just because of its name!
At the local coffee shop, I drink the house blend, Illy is the company that makes it
Favorite kind of coffee: the free hot black caffeinated kind. Emphasis on free and caffeinated. I'm a student. :shrug:
Currently at home we have Folgers. It was cheap, I'm on student loans (which is a step lower than government cheese I think), so sue me. I will say I do really like the "Kirkland Signature 100% Colombian Coffee Supremo Blend, Dark roast" I think its a Costco brand. If we sweet talk my roommate's parents who have a Costco card, they buy it for us. We have a brand new 3 lb can waiting right behind the Folgers. the folgers might accidentally start disappearing faster...
do you use flavored creamers with the flavored coffees? also I concur on the burned taste with starbucks.
flavors gross me out most times. let me add plain to my list. favorite coffee is PLAIN hot black no sweetners no creamy stuff free caffeinated coffee.

I prefer flavored coffee grounds to flavored creamers. I normally take Folgers (or insert brand in the pot at work), 1 sweetener and either non-dairy plain creamer (ick) or non-fat half and half
I'm pretty hooked on espresso. I like my little mokka pot as well as true espresso shots.
To that end, I really like Illy and Lavazza. Plus I like trying different independent local roasters.
Favorites I've had in the past: Blue Bottle Coffee, Intelligensia (sp?).
Seems like there's never a shortage of new ones to try these days!
