| Where is your favorite place to get coffee? Mine is this locally owned coffeehouse by one of the commuter train stations in my neighborhood. |

| I actually grind my own coffee!! I think it tastes better! I bought a bag of Millstone beans from Sam's Club about a month ago or so and the bag isn't even 1/4 empty yet! |

| If I drink coffee (and that is very rare indeed), I get mine from a little square can labeled "General Foods International Coffees", Irish Creme flavor! |

| When I buy coffee to make at home, I have a subscription to Gevalia. Love those people. When I'm out, I go to a little coffee shop in town where they make espresso fit to slide out of the cup and slap yo' mama. They're some of my favorite people in the world. LOL |

| I purchase green coffee beans from a co-worker who has a micro-business on the side and roast them at home. It makes the BEST coffee and green coffee beans have no known shelf life, so keep forever. Once coffee has been roasted and ground it looses flavor very quickly. At work I have Kaladi Roasted Coffee beans available, which I can grind for my brew. I almost never purchase coffee away from home or work. It just doesn't taste the same. Life is too short to drink bad coffee or cheap beer. Swanny |

| I drink Café Olimpo, It's packaged a few miles from where I work and is by far the most popular brand out here where I live. Sort of a regional thing since there is a big rivalry between this area of the country and Chiriqui Province where the big coffee plantations are. One thing about living down here is that a person would have to work really hard to find any coffee, packaged or not that had gone stale. Most of what is produced is exported and many of you are probably drinking coffee from here without even realizing it. I think it is funny when I have the chance to meet new gringos here and they order cafe americano which is a regular coffee cut half with hot water. Coffee here is really strong and flavorful. I was always a black coffee person until I came here, and this coffee is impossible to drink without adding milk and sugar. Or the classic style like the country folks drink it, milk, sugar and a chunk of white cheese.  |

| Starbucks. My hubby's from Seattle so anything else is unexceptable! (Ecept seattles finest that is.) |

| I never have cared for Starbucks. All the Starbucks around here taste like they brew their coffee with mop water. I prefer Cafè Luna (the local coffee house mentioned before), Dunkin' Donuts, White Hen (a local chain of convenience stores), and the newer BP and Mobil stations. |

| Coffee Times, on Regency road, in Lexington, right at the other end of Moore Drive from Nicholasville road, immediately inside the circle, turn left at the first light after getting off the circle, end of the street turn right then immediately left into the first parking lot. Their Highlander Creme is some great stuff, and they've got some hundred some odd other flavors too, which are great. If I go in there to spend time though, I almost always order a Mocha Jo or Mocha Josie. Don't get over there as often as I'd like anymore though, since I'm not in Lexington on a regular basis anymore. Live in Richmond, work in Winchester. miss Lexington entirely on a daily basis. |

The reason why Starbucks coffee tastes burned is because it is burned; they burn their beans when roasting them. BTW, right now I'm enjoying a good house blend from Cafè Luna. |
