[HonestAbeJoeHooah]

i drink on average between 4-8 cups a day or so myself.

i do not put (like) anything in the coffee at all.

i prefer to grind my own beans at home when we are able to. The quality and, taste can not be compared to imo.

i like most starbucks variety's of beans and ground. i also like kona (ralph's) beans and, various others. As long as it is quality as far as taste is concerned then i am not really too picky. For every day domestic type use folger's always works!

i do espresso if it is truly done right. my brother in law out in So.Cal has his own (pro) machine and, man...talk about good!

keep on brewing fellow tankers!

Yo, Abe.

1) How much Coffee (cups or pots) do you drink on average in a day? Depends on what's happening. I am in the military, so I drink fairly regularly when I have to face a 12 hour day. Probably 3-4 cups during those days.

2) Do you drink your Coffee with anything in it? (I personally like it without anything in it...as I prefer to taste the brewed goodness).

I favor 2 and 2 with sugar and cream.

3) Do you grind your own beans at home? If so do You think it makes a difference in taste/quality?

I am not quite sophisticated enough for that. Kudos to those of you who do, though.

4) Do You have a favorite brand or flavor? (either whole bean or ground).

You might be surprised at just how good Wal-Mart brand coffee is. I like Colombia and Arabica flavors in the large canisters, myself.

5) Lastly for now...do You do espresso too?

Sometimes. I drank that fairly regularly whenever out and about in Europe. I don't drink it as often these days.

I am kind of a nerd to be honest. I like green tea more than coffee!!!

[GrimlocksPS]

1) How much Coffee (cups or pots) do you drink on average in a day?

I used to drink 8 20 oz cups a day but i cut down to 2 16 0z cups

2) Do you drink your Coffee with anything in it? (I personally like it without anything in it...as I prefer to taste the brewed goodness)

Cream and Brown Sugar

3) Do you grind your own beans at home? If so do You think it makes a difference in taste/quality?


I don't drink coffee at home all that often but if i do i usually buy ground. I'm open to the idea of grinding my own, especially since we know someone who has a coffee beanery in costa rica.

4) Do You have a favorite brand or flavor? (either whole bean or ground) I usually go with whaever my local Bagel shop serves. I hate Starbucks blends...

5) Lastly for now...do You do espresso too? if i need to be awake i do.

[arch2b]

1) How much Coffee (cups or pots) do you drink on average in a day? maybe 3-4 cups a day. i'm one of those odd people who can drink coffe and fall right to sleep so i like a nice hot cup about an hour before i go to bed. same thing in the morning, one cup in the car ride to work if we drive and sleep the rest of the way.

2) Do you drink your Coffee with anything in it? depends on my mood. for the most part i like it black. if it's really strong i use creamer/milk or whatever is around.

3) Do you grind your own beans at home? If so do You think it makes a difference in taste/quality? only at work, bunch of coffee snobs there, they keep it in the freezer as well. we have one of those individual serving size machines at home as well which is nice as i don't waste alot of water/coffee that way.

4) Do You have a favorite brand or flavor? (either whole bean or ground) not really picky, don't really care for many of the flavored styles. italian or south american and african regions mostly.

5) Lastly for now...do You do espresso too? no. i don't have the patience to sip coffee

1) How much Coffee (cups or pots) do you drink on average in a day?
i was seriously at about three pots at one point.
nowadays i'm down to about one and half.

2) Do you drink your Coffee with anything in it? (I personally like it without anything in it...as I prefer to taste the brewed goodness)
same way i like my women, strong and black.
or y'know...with cream if it's around.

3) Do you grind your own beans at home? If so do You think it makes a difference in taste/quality?

I should grind my own, but it's too much of a hassle. so I don't.

4) Do You have a favorite brand or flavor? (either whole bean or ground)

I got hooked on Cafe du monde when i was in N'orleans.
awesome stuff.
somewhat hard to come by here in canadaland, but i can get it, it's just super expensive. so i treat myself to it onece in awhile.

5) Lastly for now...do You do espresso too?

espresso/cappacino.
I've got the machine.
I'll go on a kick, and drink about five or six a day, so i usually just leave the damn thing unplugged.
it's good to have though.
