You guys are kidding right? I had 7-11 coffee once and my stomach lining has never been the same. Like drinking battery acid.

7-Eleven coffee is best when you are half-asleep and on your way to do something fun. Up at 6am, pack the skis, swing by 7-11 at 6:30, and you're cruising down the slopes as soon as they open.

(7-11 coffee is also great in similar situations. Replace the following words as necessary:
Skis: fishing pole, golf clubs, guns...
Slopes: lake, course, shootin' range...)

Eons ago, I used to carpool with 3 other guys. Early shift. A 7-11 stop was mandatory at 6am. We used to call it "metal coffee", because we'd be back in the car banging our heads to Z-Rock on the radio (remember them, anyone?). It was also "metal coffee" because I usually got the last cup from the coffee tank, the sludge from the bottom - tasted like it was mixed with small metal particles.

If you've had "bock" beer, then this was "bock" coffee.

My head explodes, my ears ring, I can't remember just where I've been.

Has anyone of you Canucks out there ever tried Bino's coffee? I have yet to come across a coffee that has that very distinct taste! Just one smell or taste and you know that it was from Bino's! I used to work with this guy who worked part-time as a cook at a Bino's and he used to show up at this other job every day with a nice, warm thermos full of Bino's coffee! I usually drink between 2-5 cups of coffee a day. The first cup or two in the "morning" and the rest at work. Right now I'm on graveyard shifts and so morning for me is about 8:30 p.m. p.s.t.! How many people out there drink instant coffee? Due to my crazy shift schedule, quite often I just don't have the time to brew up a nice pot of perk coffee . I only like about three different brands of instant: Maxwell house; Tasters Choice; and Nescafe. All three are original roasts and for me blow away most other brands of instant coffee. I hate instant Columbian coffee - yuck!!!

Grrreat topic!

If you ever come to Québec, NEVER - I said: NEVER - drink a coffee at a Mike's restaurant. It will make you die, rolling on the floor in atrocious pain.

Where I live, it is impossible to have good coffee at a restaurant (and when I say good coffee, I mean: espresso). I have to come to Jonquière, where there is this place called ICI that has the good stuff.

Otherwise, I'll use my espresso machine at home.

Yum.

Thanks for the advice. I may be in Quebec in August, if tentative plans pan out. Note to self....avoid Mike's.

Ah, Hypergrrrllll...brewed Folger's in a stainless steel percolator...nothing like good 'ol camping coffee, with the grinds mixed in. YUM!!! Brings back memories of Great Grandma in her folding lawn chair when we used to go to the Jemez Mts.
Funny how this started with a link to coffee and diabetes 2.

Folger's make me think about "The Big Lebowski", when they put the ashes of their dead friend in a Folger's can! And that says a lot on the quality of this coffee: it's probably really made out of human ashes.

Folgers is people! It's made out of people! Damn you! Damn you all to hell! (Woops, I got things mixed up, here!)

MMM....my favorite tea right now is Twinings Irish Breakfast. This recently beat out Twinings Orange Pekoe, which I swore would be the only tea I had with breakfast for a long time. Yum, tea with half and half and brown sugar..mmmmmmmmmmm.

If anything I drink even more tea than coffee. I have one entire cupboard full of about 18 different kinds of tea (teabags and loose leaf), 3 different kinds of coffee, and some instant hot apple cider. Now that I think of it, about half my "pantry" is beverages, including the refrigerator....

my favourite tea is a black ceylon tea called 'maple leaf' and it comes from a place in vancouver called T. i like the mapley infusion (note this is not like 'flavoured coffee' it's not a bastardized tea). i like it so much i mail order it now.

i don't think the corporatization of espresso is a bad thing either hex, i am thankfull that i can get espresso outside of big cities in north america, which was impossible in the 80s and a good part of the 90s.

and on the international front, i heard they're having a horrible cold snap in Turkey, poor people dying of exposure on the streets. what is up with this weather?

I never drank tea until I lived in the UK for a year, and now I like tea (but not quite as much as coffee).

English Breakfast before noon, Earl Grey after noon.

I like sugar with tea, but not milk. My friends in the UK thought I was barbaric to have one but not the other. And you should seen their faces when I told them that I also liked (shudder) iced tea - it's like they thought I was some kind of barbarian, or something.

Hey Hex, I remember when we had a similar thread about a year ago and I said my granny used to boil her coffee. You almost tore your shirt when you read that...Hahahaha!! You take coffee as seriously as it should be taken ! Anyway, I just realized I used the wrong word then, because in Finnish the same word means both boiling and brewing...so, let me rephrase my old comment:

My granny used to BREW her coffee from fresh beans, in an old, beautiful hand-made coffee pot!

There!

Aw, the hell with it. Let's skip the coffee and talk about alternate caffeine delivery mechanisms.

Water Joe "springs" to mind (pun intended). All the water, and infinitely more caffeine - any number divided by zero is infinity, ya know!)
