Coffee and Tea

[VJLUTZ]

Used to luv Dunkin Donuts coffee. Back in the day, it used to be great & cheap. Now, its expensive and all too often mediocre or even bad. I hate paying over $2 for a crap cup of coffee. So a couple of years ago I switched to Wawa. Its not bad and every now and then they offer the $1 for any size deal. Some interesting characters hang out at those stores too. McDonalds coffee has improved & is now not so terrible for the price.

At home & work, I brew Maxwell House. Not a tea guy, unless I get sick.

I've never had a bad cup of coffee in Europe. I stay away from Starbucks like the plague.

I only drink wawa. Only one cup a day on my way to work half asleep. It's either good and I finish or bad and throw half away. It's all about convenience.

Vietnamese coffee is also good too especially the iced coffee on a hot summer day.

Never tried. Have to try.

The instant Asian coffee they sell in Asian food marts is typically quite good. They generally beat-the-shit out of American instant coffee brands. I've had bags of the stuff given to be my both Korean and Vietnamese girls. I am out of the Korean coffee now (which I preferred, but neglected to take a picture of & forgot what it was). I am still working on the Vietnamese coffee (G7 brand). It is good, but not quite as good as the Korean brand. In all these packages, each serving is single wrapped in its own "stick" container.

BTW, the G7 packets I have are 3 in 1, which means they include coffee, sugar and creamer. So no need to add those separately unless you want your coffee lighter and sweeter. I think the Korean brand was Maxim. All these brands have options of coffee only or a mix including cream and sugar. If you don't want to go to an Asian food store, you can also buy them on Amazon. I'll probably do that when I finally run through my Vietnamese coffee.

The only drawback is I had to explain to my wife what I was doing with Asian coffee. Luckily, it was only coffee and not a buxom provider I had to explain away.

I once had Ethiopian coffee, which was damn good. Similar to American coffee, but had notes of orange peel and cinnamon. Might try again.

I have a somewhat similar A&P memory and it is perhaps an additional reason why I like 8 O'Clock coffee.

What do you drink at 9 O'Clock ???

 

[Heuxgarden]

I don’t know which is sadder. That I remember 8 o’clock coffe at the A&P, or the length of this thread.

 

[njlefty]

Bought that Cafe Bustelo and will give a try.

Maybe I should add some hot sauce.

in terms of price and quality I prefer Malaysian tea

Coffee -
Hot - black - Black Rifle Coffee is (imo) some of the best around
Iced - not picky can be black or cream & sugar

Tea -
Hot - black
Iced - black with lemon. Unless im in the South. Then it has to be Sweet Tea

I like both , and find that the Ethiopian , Kenya and other African blends are more earthy in their flavor while the South and Central American ones have more spice to them . A really good choice is Sumatra coffee from Indonesia as well .
