    If I don't make my coffee at home, I like Circle K coffee, McDonald's coffee & last Starbucks.
    I'm picky about how I prepare my coffee.
    I can't stand anything hot, soup coffee etc, so I pour it over a lot of ice with creamer,milk or 1/2 n 1/2 and the ratio has to be just right or I don't enjoy it.

    I'm a coffee snob myself. So needless to say I was very excited to goto Hawaii for my honeymoon 8 years ago. They have some great coffee there, here in SoCal , I find my favorite at costco "Jose's" columbian roast. And I like it for the flavor not just the caffeine. If I'm out, a quick run to trader joes gives me a few good options but then when convenient I run to costco and save trader joes stuff for emergency. But the very very best cup comes from Israel , I have no idea the brand because it's written in another language but my mother (the cause of my love for great coffee) ones there once every other year and brings back some - put it in a French press and I melt In happiness (though in Israel they put the stuff right into the cup and let it sink to the bottom- French press is close enough for me)

    Gonna revive this, I used to drink wawa coffee, made it in my mrcoffee I cup. I got a new one a few weeks ago called ricks roaster' and it is great. It's a small company owned by a veteran so it's a plus that he makes good coffee haha

    I hear good things about tonx.org and their fresh coffee delivered to you. But they want your cc info and an automatic "screw you if you forget to cancel on time" subscription in order to get the free trial. So I have yet to try it

    Last week I told my wife I was putting this on my Christmas list, after seeing it here (Thanks Dick :) ) . Monday we were in JCPenneys and I said something about looking for it when we walked past the kitchen section; she said not to bother, she already found it on sale and bought it. :woot: .... but she's still gonna make me wait 'til Christmas. :(

    :notsure: Might have to ransack the house while she's at work. ;)

    Sounds like a skit right out of Portlandia. That show is funny. I've never been to Portland, but I get the idea that everyone there is stoned all the time. Much like California.

    I'm looking forward to using it. :cool:

    We've had our Kitchen Aide Mixer for 28 years and it still performs like new. I don't go shopping much any more, might be a patience thing :notsure: ;), so I didn't even know they made one. When I saw it in your thread, it was pretty much a "no brainer." I've been grinding whole beans for about 8 years now. I think I'm on my third or fourth "cheap one." Thanks for the thread and feedback on the grinder. :)
