I agree. Eight O'Clock coffe is by far the best coffee I have ever had, and this is from someone who used to drink Millstone. I urge everyone who hasnt treid it to buy a bag for yourselves. Its great coffee..and its very inexpensive to boot!

I buy Starbuck's Breakfast Blend whole beans and grind them myself each morning. Tastes so good.

Every Thursday g/f and I shop, so we stop at DD for our morning coffee. I do like DD coffee, but not their donuts.

BTW, coffee is so much better with light cream in it. That's the only way I drink it.

I use Seattle's Best, I like their French Roast. Just like beer, I like to switch up brands from time to time. I work in some DD or Peet's into the rotation as well as some fresh ground French Roast from Whole Foods.

I like Starbucks okay -- I prefer the Starbucks House Blend if I spring for coffee.

I buy Eight O'Clock Colombian bean coffee and grind the beans at home. That is my favorite coffee!

I am a loyal customer to Eight O'Clock Bean,as well. Lately I have been getting $1.00 off coupons inside the bags...and if you go to their websight, and register the UPC's & lot codes, they have more offers.

I used to have a Sensco that used the "pods" and liked it, very well. But not enough to replace it, unless I happen to find another one on a rummage sale for $5.00

Go for it! But make sure you have an "Other" category. I don't like either one.

The only problem with drinking Eight O'clock coffee, is that you can never drink any other coffee, because all others tastes like swill in comparison..truly

Another vote for home-brew. I buy Kona or Blue Mountain beans when I can afford them.

For those who don't have access to a local roaster, Peets is pretty good.

I have no problem with that....There is no place to go "out" for coffee, here, without driving 25 miles, to get there.
