To be an accurate competition wouldn't there have to be 3 or 4 on the left and one on the right to make the money spent more equal?

I like dark roast Community best and brew it in a pour over method which consist of a Malita filter holder that fits on top of my cup a #2 filter fits into the holder and about 3 tbl. spoons of fine grind coffee grounds....I'm spoiled now days and can only substitute this method with an occasional Mc D's if it's fresh!

Brewing that way is pretty good. Experts say a French Press brews the best cup.

I've always loved Dunkin Donuts but lately they seem to have changed the bean. Somewhat bitter, but still like it.

I always sweeten coffee and tea with brown sugar. A little healthier doesn't take as much.

When I make iced tea I brew for a gallon, then ad 3 heaping table spoons full of brown sugar. Doesn't taste overly sweet and removes the bitterness tea has sometimes. It's also better for you, and doesn't require as much.

Nothing compares to a Starbucks!
Second comes Tim Horton
Third DD.
Mickey D only if I have no other options.

Side note here...stopped at a Pilot and one of their brewed offerings was an "energy" brew. Wow!!!! It was loaded with energy. It got me through a long drive.

Indeed, it has a full load of energy... good not just for the road, but for other "things" also

Now that I have thought about it. I'm surprised McDs hasn't jumped into the retail coffee market.

Never acquired a taste for coffee or tea. There has been some cold winter mornings getting ready to head for the tree stand I wish I had.

Good tip Runrunner. Chock full of nuts was on sale at Krogers so I tried a can and I like it. It's not quite MickeyDs but it's pretty darned good for home brewed.

I had a $10 off Kohls coupon and I was stuck for what to buy so I picked up a nice little single cup coffee brewer there by "Bella". I had to try it because it claims it only draws 500 watts. I checked it with kill-a-watt and it's close - around 510. I happened to have a 600 watt inverter laying around and it plays nice with the Bella (it didn't like the supposedly 600 watt Cuisinart single cup I tried it with one little bit). So my quest for good coffee in the truck is moving along nicely.

To be clear, I too love coffee. It is my single reason for getting out of bed. I would have to agree that McDonald's has the best (or at least consistently the best) coffee on the road however Drunkin Donuts is just as good if not sometimes better.

At home you need to start with filtered water and then join Sam Sclub in order to buy "Jamaican Me Crazy" coffee. You'll never drink anything else at home.

Thank you for asking.

"Jamaican Me Crazy" coffee - lol This I gotta try. Is Sam's Club the only place you can buy it. Btw, another coffee that's on my must-try list is "Major Dickersons" by Peets. I've got a gut feeling about that one. (my gut feelings never pan out but that just means I'm due

)

Micky D's, Dunkins or Tim Hortons is all good to me. Really wouldn't walk across the street for the difference. Just give it to me hot & black.

I did use bottlewater as much as possible to make cowboy coffee in the van. In the restaurants or truckstops your probably not getting filtered water, so you are at the mercy of the water treatment plant and tons of chlorine taste. I boiled my filtered water, then poured it over fresh coffee grounds in the pot and let all that sit for 5 minutes, then filtered out the grounds and got fresh no chlorinated taste or chemicals . You never know how clean those hoses or pipes are in a restaurant machine, just saying. The taste changes when you do your coffee this way and it is better tasting...

I just picked up some Peet's Major Dickersons coffee. It's very good. Not cheap but very good.

Here's my prefences:

1. Tim Hortons
2. Dunkin' Donuts
3. Pilot
4. Starbucks AKA Fourbucks

The other night I was enjoying my McDonald's coffee when I realized that I had detected a hint of cinnamon in the after taste. Knowing it's a medium roast arabica coffee, with a hint of cinnamon, a home substitute might be found at a coffee shop.
