Your coffee

[phil]

So I work for Dunkin Donuts now. I've noticed that people love to order a regular coffee and assume I know what they mean by that. So what does that mean to you? Black? Cream and sugar?

What about flavors? We offer French vanilla, hazelnut, caramel, coconut, cinnimon and a lot others. What do you take?


What is the one cup of coffee that is right, as opposed to all others that are wrong?

 

[Baerdog]

To me it seems like most of those people would be asking for whatever your basic drip coffee is.

I always figured regular was just whatever they're brewing that day with no sugar or milk.

I like a cafe au lait with dark roast and one sugar. If I want flavoring, I'll go for my new favorite: "Samocha." It tastes like those chocolate-coconut girl scout cookies. I can only order a half shot of it, though, because it's very sweet.

As for where the coffee comes from--there are a lot of types of coffee that taste too sour or acidic for me. When I tried Sumatran, I almost spit it out. I like Dark roast or medium roast Community brand, whole bean so I can grind it myself whenever I need it.

Also, I'm a big espresso fan. I enjoy the occasional Cappuccino, too.

Black, no sugar. I have no idea about brand of beans, but the Starbucks near my college is fine. I generally get it with an extra shot of espresso for that kick. But I don't do anything in the way of flavor or milk.

Alternatively, I like my coffee like I like my women -

I order regular, which I assume to be cream and sugar. I prefer milk and sugar, but I'm kinda set in my ways.

Also:

 

[Seraphyn]

Regular coffee to me seems nothing more then coffee, so black no sugar.

And that's how I like my coffee too. That and double/triple espresso's.

 

[Chibibar]

Regular coffee at Denny's (where I use to work long ago) is just plain black coffee. Nothing added.

Coffee. Black. Hot.

For the longer days, I prefer the dregs that have been distilling down for a few hours, cooking off the water.

 

[makare]

My favorite coffee is kona blend with caramel. mmmm.

I learned a long time ago regular means something different depending on the place and person. Two different people may give you a different “regular”

I like my coffee depending on where I go, my favorite place is Tim Horton’s and I get a medium sized coffee with 1 cream and 2 sugars or 1 milk and 2 sugars. I alternate!

If I have to go to other coffee places, I usually go for 2 milks 2 sugars since for some goddamn reason their coffee is SO much stronger.

I like Starbucks and when I’m on site installations I can find one easily where my overlord laptop will take over everyone’s internet and I’ll sip on my Caramel Moka with glee. Though I’d rather not go there too often for 7$ coffee is ridiculously expensive.

 

[HCGLNS]

To me coffee is black, no sugar. Regular is one cream, one sugar. And I like my coffee so vile that people in Starbucks think I have no soul.

 

[checkeredhat]

At Tim Hortons, "regular" means "one cream, one sugar".
You will notice that every Canadian who has replied has the same definition.

I usually order a double-double (two cream two sugar), although I've started to not use cream at all in my coffee when I make it myself.

 

[Espy]

I like coffee flavored coffee.

I blame Starbucks for getting me hooked on coffee. Whoever came up with the idea of putting vanilla and caramel in a cup of coffee is a very, very rich person.

Typically, though, I go for a medium-roast coffee with French Vanilla creamer and two sweeteners.

 

[FnordBear]

I like my coffee pooped out of a Civet


ThinkGeek :: Civet Crap Choice Coffee

 

[Denbrought]

Black-no-sugar-no-nothing-why-am-I-awake-so-early-oh-god-whys is the only regular coffee.

 

[Hylian]

I don't like the taste of coffee

 

[phil]

I don't like the taste of coffee

Same here. I found I can stand it if it's like a 60-40 split with hot chocolate. But really at that point it's more like saying I like coffee in my hot cocoa than the other way around.

 

[gargoyle_eva]

I like my coffe like my women....in the kitchen.

I dont drink coffe at all but to me a regular would be white with 1 sugar.

I used to really hate coffee unless it was in a sweet frozen drink. Then I started drinking mochas. Then, I started ordering a half shot of chocolate, then none at all. Now I can't drink a coffee with more than one sugar or about 1/3 of a full flavor shot. Oh, the baristas just love me for that one.

 

[Silver Jelly]

I drink my coffe with some milk and a lot of saccharine. I prefer it in a mug, and I loved to use the one you see in this video ( Vlog 14-12-10 - CarloGallucci - blip.tv ) until it got broken a few days ago

Also, I'm substituting my coca-cola addiction with drinking 2 or 3 cofees a day, wich means that I'm actually having less caffeine than I used to.

 

[North_Ranger]

I, too, belong to the crowd that doesn't drink coffee. I can make a decent cup of "road tar", though - that's the nickname I use for the strong cup of joe my parents enjoyed when they were still at work. Whenever I got home from school it was my job to put some coffee on, so by the time they got home from work they'd have their first after-work cup.

Of course, seeing how my first encounter with coffee actually was with this "road tar" variety, it is not so surprising why I don't like coffee. Tried capuccino once; to me it tasted like rancid hot chocolate.

 

[Element 117]

Turkish/ Greece coffee or espresso.

Kona coffee is nice.

I have not ever tried Kopi luwak. I'm sorry, but no.

I prefer a bit of cream, and some sugar in my coffee. But I will not pass up a caramel mocha soy latte ever.

I got hooked by Trident Gum.
Don't think you guys had it in the US, but there was a brief period of time back when I was in high school where Trident had a cappuccino flavoured gum. It was delicious, and we had a family member who worked for Cadbury so we had piles and piles of free cappuccino flavoured Trident gum at home. When my supply ran out, the gum was already off store shelves for selling dismally. So I tried Tim Horton's French Vanilla and English Toffee Cappuccinos, which eventually became too expensive, so I switched to double-doubles.

 

[Krisken]

The only time I can stand the taste of coffee is when it is used to enhance the flavor of my beer.

 

[ThatNickGuy]

I do not drink coffee.

 

[Espy]

Heres an interesting questions: Do you consider "coffee drinks" that are more sugar than coffee "coffee"?
My wife's cousin told me she just LOOOOOOOOVES coffee. So I asked her what she prefered, darker or lighter roasts, and she went, "ewwwww, no, I like 'Mint Mocha Conditions' from Caribou" So what she actually likes, is 24 ounces made up of 2 ounces of espresso buried under Mint syrup, Chocolate syrup, whole milk, a mound of whip cream, and chocolate sprinkles. Personally, to call this "coffee" seems a bit disingenuous when what her entire goal by getting this drink is to not taste any coffee.

I'd say that's a coffee flavoured beverage (or dessert), but no, not coffee. Although I've had people tell me that what I drink; coffee with cream and sugar, is not coffee. So where do you draw the line?

 

[Espy]

Personally it depends on the base idea of the drink. If the idea is to enhance or add to the espresso like with a cappuccino or latte thats different than a drink that is intended to eradicate any trace espresso. I mean, in the end they are still technically espresso drinks anyway, but I find it funny how many people talk about loving coffee but actually hate anything that actually has any coffee or espresso taste in it. Plus I agree with you, if your "coffee" has almost a 1000 calories in it it's a dessert. Or more like 3 desserts.

 

[Cajungal]

Like you say, it's technically still got espresso in it. And even if it doesn't taste like coffee, I think that fewer people would pay $4.50 for a drink like that if it didn't come with the promise of a little caffeine jump. I like the occasional frozen coffee drink, but I don't really think of it as coffee. I go for the plain kind at Community Coffee house. It probably has a good amount of sugar still, but, unlike other types, it only has 90 calories if you don't add any flavors to it. It's just espresso, ice, and something that's sort of like powdered milk + sugar + frozen yogurt mix. It's a nice little treat when I don't feel like hot coffee but I'd still like a tiny jump.

I think you can think of it the same as liquor. Lots of people like to give it a good amount of mixer to counter the harsh taste, but it's still an alcoholic beverage. She's still drinking her cappa frappa yappa dappa for it's caffeine same as someone would drink a 6oz juice to 1oz vodka drink for the boozahol.

 

[Krisken]

Cappa yappa frappa dappa. Gotcha.
