Wait a minute. Are you talking about when you make coffee?
Or do you go to a coffeehouse and ask for 1/8 decaf? Either way is crazy. Before I've had a cup of coffee, there is no way I could measure ANYTHING into eight equal parts. And I'm an engineer. |

I premeasured it all into a big plastic container, so it was all mixed up in the right proportions whenever I wanted coffee. I would never ask for that at a coffee place!! they can't even figure out how to hold the sugar!

Where do you go that puts the sugar in the coffee for you?

On rare occasions I will add some honey, especially to Dark Roast. Chocolate is also an acceptable additive, especially to cappucino. I have a cappucino machine that I actually use. At least once or twice a year. We used to have one at work, but someone stole the damn thing during the remodelling. Either that or it ended up in an office upstairs in a box that nobody has looked in for three years or so. Along with the spare coffee grinder and the component stereo system. I really have to ask the boss about that.

Dunkin' Donuts and Ma's donuts are the two main places I'd go for coffee, and all of the employees are dumb teenagers who don't want to be there. I hate starbucks coffee and most other coffee places. I only like medium brewed arabica coffee or Maxwell house Master Blend. No french roast, no flavors...
I don't go anywhere for the service, I go if I like the product. I have given up on finding decent customer service in grocery stores, coffee shops, walmart, petco, basically anywhere where the employees are making minimum wage, I'm getting minimum service. |

I'm surprised I haven't posted to this thread yet...
I used to drink a lot of coffee, but pulled myself off caffeine for the most part almost 2 years ago. Now, I don't drink that much coffee, and haven't had coffee with caffeine in almost a year. Among my favorite coffee places: Starbucks, Cosi, Corner Bakery, Dunkin Donuts, Krispy Kreme. Among my favorite store-bought/mail order coffees: Starbucks, Chock Full o' Nuts, Millstone, Gevalia. On occasion, I like the following items in my coffee: vanilla, Irish cream or hazelnut flavoring; Bailey's or Kahlua. I generally drink it black, no sugar. |

Fair trade coffee from the Co-op filtered into specially bought wide-mouthed, large mug, add cold semi-skimmed milk, take two in the mornings. (i.e. "skip the jug, filter straight to the mug" (sm wanna write a tune for that jingle?)).
I've had the same method, filter-cone and habit for almost thirty years now, but I'm on my fourth mug (anyone who want to cross refer this to the strange habits thread please feel free to do so). For the rest of the day, I used to do lots of instant coffee, now I hardly do any, and when I do it's usually at work.

Dunkin Donuts does that, just ask for a regular and they put the cream and sugar in. It's the only place I will buy a coffee and only when I'm too rushed to make my own at home. I'll even buy a pound of their ground coffee once in a while. IMHO Dunkin Donuts beats Starbucks hands down! And their donuts are way better than Krispy Kreme.

Encouragingly I'm starting to think it's harder to buy a non-Fair Trade cup of coffee in London than it is to buy Fair Trade.

My opinion of Krispy Kremes donuts is based on their use of some kind of frosting filling in their Boston cream donuts, my personal favorite. Dunkin Donuts makes a real Boston cream with a pudding type filling, ya just can't beat them!

Krispy Kremes have too much fat to eat an entire donut and they're too sweet. Damn things will make you sick.
Dunkin' Donuts, on the other hand, are just right to enjoy a couple: one to munch and one to dunk. The dense chocolate cake donuts are supreme with a cup of coffee on a cold, rainy morning. |

I spent two years in New England with the Navy. I have to admit, Dunkin' Donuts is the only thing I miss. And I miss it dearly.
