Well, we have determined that coffee sure is a personal taste!

With all the talk about Tim Horton's, I spent some time actually sitting in a few of their "Remodeled" locations. Some have fireplaces and "comfy" chairs by the fire - with a large screen LCD television mounted above the fireplace. I'd never seen that before. Must be a new look. To me, their coffee was fine. Actually a bit strong. I ordered "Extra Skim" in mine to tone it down. Did the trick.

When I lived in the Northeast, you couldn't swing an empty coffee cup and not hit a Dunkin Donuts. They had a huge following, and I was one of them.

I do spend a fair amount of time in Canada, so I'm becoming more prone to stopping into a Tim Horton's for lunch. And I grab a coffee there. In the US, they all seem to have a huge issue with customer service. The drive through lines are SO BUSY, you sometimes stand at the counter for 5 minutes before getting service.

When I was in Germany many moons ago, I discovered Jabobs Kronung. I have a box or two at home for weekends. That's great stuff IMO. Again, coffee is so personal. I've got friends that SWEAR by MAXWELL HOUSE and you can't convince them that there is anything better!
