This is for all the coffee Connoisseurs out there Like myself who can't get through a day without a cup.  Or two. Or three. Or.......

Is there a special kind you prefer?  Always in the mood to try new suggestions.  I like Green Mountain French Roast in the mornings (again, from Vermont, where the good stuff come from).  Strong, gives you a kick in the teeth to get you moving.  Once and a while I like to go to starbucks to treat myself to a Caramel Machiato.  Or a White Chocolate Mocha.  Although I am warming up to Jo Mugs.

I just had some Green Mountain that was given to me as a gift - very tasty! I buy Starbucks (love Cafe Verona and Sumatra blends) to have at home and treat myself to the vanilla skim latte or the seasonal lattes (Pumpkin Spice and Gingerbread)! Can't make it through the day without the coffee, either!

Nice discussion, Stacey! 

I usually drink the Whole Foods brand of their darkest roast.  It isn't too expensive and I drink coffee everyday, so I need something not too pricey.  I also use the french press-this is easy to use, quick clean up, and, for me, makes the best cup of coffee.

I love to splurge and get a latte from Starbucks, or somewhere similar, but, I don't do that too often!  That White Chocolate Mocha from there is super good, too!

This used to be my all-time personal favorite: Caramel Machiato with whipped cream and caramel on top

But seeing as how it's not exactly health-conscious, I now splurge by getting a nonfat Caramel Machiato, but with hazelnut syrup substituted for the vanilla syrup! It brings the drink to a whole new plateau! Not to mention, the baristas are usually fairly impressed, because they know how amazing it is!

I"m a huge fan of Dunkin Donuts coffee...

Has anyone used the Keurig or other single serve makers?  i've been thinking of picking one up for the office but wasn't sure if they were any good or not...

I have used the Keurig machine and it is terrific.  Perfect cup of coffee everytime.  It seems as though the cartridges are pretty easy to come by, too!

Many other community members seem to agree the Keurig is awesome.  93% of those who wrote a review gave it 5 stars!

I like the little tins of chocolate flavored coffee.

But, paying that much for decaf Swiss Mocha is just WRONG...

Next step; adding little pinches of Swiss Miss no sugar added coco to my regular coffee.

Starbucks has come out with an "instant coffee" called VIA, from Colombia.

They gave me a little sample packet to try.

Instant? YEEEECK!

I was actually in a desperate type situation where I tried the Starbucks instant.  I have to say, it wasn't horrible.  It really was pretty good.  Does not compare to the real deal, but not so bad.

Star Bucks has come out with an instant coffee, called Via.

Two flavors!

That might be handy for times when I can walk out the the car's trunk, faster than to the middle of the Mall for my caffeine hit.
