I love wandering around Pikes in the spring before the tourists show up.

The best cup of coffee is the one that taste just like fresh ground coffee smells. Rare stuff, but, sometimes you get lucky.
Those that think Starbucks is equivalent to drinking muddy water are correct, however, most convenience stores sell one of their products called "Double Shot." It comes in a can and is supposed to be an energy drink. The Mocha flavor is to die for. Top shelf, indeed. I get to craving one and nothing else will do.

Starbucks puts sso much sugar in their Mochas you can't even taste the coffee. There are many many places in the NW that their espresso is hands and feet above Starbucks... One of my favorites is a little drive up/site down coffee place that ia along US 95 in Cambridge ID
I was there two weeks ago with my wife... Kinda cool to see fresh salmon being flung through the air... Now that was fast food!
That's because their coffee sucks and they know it.
I have no idea when the "good" cup of coffee went from smooth and almost sweet to acrid and bitter.

Well here we go, start warming up your guns and shooting at me.
#1 Best Coffee - Almost any of the medium/dark roast varieties by Door County Coffee & Tea but unless you live in Northeast Wisconsin the only option is mail order. When I lived there we would drive up to Door County every Saturday morning and pick up a pound fresh out of the roaster and still hot.
#2 Starbucks Pike Place roast - whole bean ground just as I press it.
#3 Seattles Best #4 (Actually all Seattles Best is just a lower priced Starbucks, same company, same beans, different label and grind) but unfortunatlety its almost impossible to find in whole bean and the grind is way to fine for a french press.
#4 All the above that I press in the truck every morning for my 1 cup of coffee.
#5 Pilot coffee as long as they have actually cleaned the pot in the last month but that doesn't seem to happen much any more.
I refuse to drink coffee anywhere that has the giant urns that run a gallon of water through a spigot across a half pound of cheap ass foodservce sh*t that has been sitting in a paper filter for a week. The urns never get cleaned, they just keep adding coffee then dumping it into pots and serving it as fresh coffee. I like coffee to taste like coffee not bleached paper.
McDonalds coffee is swill. I have tried it several times and quite frankly it's almost as awful as Denny's burnt chicory root infested crap they keep sitting all around the resturants. (Same crap J used to sell that tasted like a wood stir stick)
But coffee is like whisky, some like this, some like that and some are alcoholics and will drink anything. Well I'm a coffeeaholic and have been sice I started sitting at the round table with my dads coffee group every morning at the age of 8.

That's why I got started on using 1/2 & 1/2 or liquid creamer. It takes the acrid, bitter taste out of it.

I take my coffee black, just like my men. :bananallama:
Their coffee does blow, very true. Eight O' Clock bean, freshly ground Colombian Roast is where it is at.
In terms of chain stores, Dunkin Doughnuts makes Starbucks taste like wood bark.

Yes, that is likely the best time, and the only hindrance at that time would be the winos.

8 years old? Geez, when I as a kid we weren't allowed to drink coffee. "Coffee is for grown ups", was the response I would get if I asked to have a cup.
My mom always had a coffee pot full of maxwell house coffee at all times of the day. I learned to drink coffee at a really young age. I saw them drinking coffee every morning so I thought that I was supposed to as well. I have tried to give it up many times in my life, but I love the smell of coffee so much I could darn near eat the grounds out of a brand new opened can of maxwell house. It IS good to the last drop!

Yep! I had to throw it in there. Every time I drink Starbuck's I feel nauseated. It makes me say "I haven't felt this awful since I saw that Ronald Reagan film."
