I have one to two , 4 shot long macs every day. The dispute over a long mac has long since ended.

The coffee is Illy.

im a huge coffee lover myself, it usually depends on my mood, if im highly stressed, i usually go for the stronger stuff.

on that note, since i AM jamaican, i go for the home grown, blue mountain coffee as my favorite, but its HELLA expensive, i usually just tell my relatives to bring me some when they are coming to visit

last time i checked it was like $40+/lb

Usually two 8oz cups each morning. Sometimes if there's coffee left in the pot in the evening, I make it into an iced coffee.

I usually go with Colombian beans. I'm not too picky about brand - but I usually go with Starbucks simply because it's so readily available. (I cannot stand the brew Starbucks sells in their stores, though - tastes totally different to me from what I make at home. I have no idea why.)

I also cannot stand any artificial flavorings - no flavored beans, no flavored creamers. Just sugar and h&h.

Dunkin' Donuts coffee is the best I've had. They have a new one out called Dunkin' Turbo, which isn't higher in caffeine, but it has more of the flavor that makes it taste so good.

It's not cheap, but lower than $30/lb.

I mostly drink Tim Hortons coffee, with having one - two cups per day. I will stop at the coffee shop to buy a cup, but I have been buying it from the grocery store and making my own, especially on weekends.

I usually buy various Bold or Extra-Bold coffees from Starbucks. On a work day I probably drink about 3 cups a day. On a day off I drink 1-2 depending if I have time to sit around and relax or if I have stuff to do. Yeah it's a lot I know but I could have worse vices haha

usually drink cheapo stuff from costco - but to me coffee is 50% mode of preparation, 25% beans, and 25% water.

one cup a day in the morning (trying to cut down) from wither a french press or a chemex.

btw, LOVE dunkin donuts.. too bad there are none in cali cali.
