My morning wake up beverage is a big tall shot of half cappuccino/half coffee. I am thinking about reducing it to straight coffee, because the cappuccino part of it could possibly be the reason that my diet plan is working backwards. But,...that's still in the "thinking about it" stage.
And you must have had your coffee before you posted, Joe, because the way ole shamers gouged you about your ford, and you didn't even bristle up, or poke back, your coffee must have already mellowed you out. Truthfully, you should have barked back a little, because that's what he wants. And he didn't get it, so he's liable to take the poking stick to the next level now. Darrel

I am figgering asking which coffee is the best is about the same as asking which oil is the best... you are going to get a lot of different answers

McD's coffee is pretty good. Tim Horton's even better in my book. For home brew, I use Maxwell house French roast usually, but the wife buys it and I brew whatever she buys and don't complain.

I think I'd rather have a certain appendage removed with a pair of garden shears than deal with the pushy crowds that day. Cyber Monday works a bunch better for me.

JOE, I make my own Cappuccino blend for a lot less than that. Call me old fashioned, but I boil some water in the teapot on the stove top, then when the whistle blows, I make up my brew in my big ole coffee mug. Darrel

Went to a Black Friday sale many years ago. I learned my lesson, never again. No deal is worth that kind and amount of abuse. Internet shopping is way better and safer too. I can usually find as good if not better deals. A lot of times the shipping is free, and I also pay the use tax at the end of the year. I haven't tried Cyber Monday sales, I guess I'm gun shy.

I mostly use Folgers Black Silk, brew it on the strong setting. The Folgers single serving in bags like tea bags in a canteen cup of boiling water is not bad when you are away from civilization. Don't drink that high priced chit that the millenial coffee shops sells.

Folgers Columbian or black silk. Used to like the red can Wal-Mart kind but they changed it. We have the most piss poor managed McDonalds on earth and their coffee isn’t good like other McDonalds. I can’t figure why?

Community Dark roast is the best down here. Don't know what local McD's use, but it's always bitter.

I don't drink coffee, just never liked it. But my wife's grandmother was a different story though, she lived most of her life in and around Arcadia, La. she was at our house on a Christmas morning some years ago for breakfast, my wife gave her a cup of coffee, not in a mug but just what we always called a tea cup, not a lot of coffee, so strong it was jet black, so Nanny pulled from her apron a jar of instant coffee and proceeded to add 2 heaping spoons of instant in her cup stirred it a couple of times and drank it. She was what I would consider a real coffee drinker. Tim

We got a a couple of twins that make coffee at church on Sunday AM. Far better than any fast food or cornvienence store cuppa. My 96 year old mom will make some tomorrow that will be good. When we have kids here Sunday there won't be a pot made here. Old gal never made a pot in her life. When we bought a building in 1986 and made it into a tire shop, one of the first things we got was a 30 cup maker. We'd make make a full pot at 7:00 am and by 4:00 it'd be gone. Eddie, my partner, and I drank a lot, It was a hoot. We sold a lot of tires etc but we had a whole lot of fun.

I am gonna stick with the plain ole Folgers out of the plastic container.
however on Black Friday I will be surfing the net for a new microwave. Danged if mine did not shoot craps yesterday. Every time I turn it on it blows the 20 amp breaker, and I did put a new breaker in with the same results.

They have some yummy looking stuff on the billboard outside, as my wife treats here mother to a cup of the high sugar stuff when she visits her as the dementia has taken most of her tastes away. She was a big coffee drinker when she was secretary for the Highway Patrol, so one little pleasure we can do for her. But since it looks like 2 bites  at a big price we never tried any of there food.

I really don't like strong coffee, it's usually (well used to be) Folgers in the red plastic can now. think it's the "original" blend. we grind all our coffee at home now. it's SOOOOO much better, and it don't take as much grounds to make a pot like the other stuff does. I do like cowboy coffee, but it takes awhile to brew that. one gas station has better coffee than the others, i'll try to find out what they have. and Joe...i'd take a Nissan over a ferd any ole day! that guy is smarter than you thunks! used to go into town at midnight to meet up with a bunch of guys for coffee, now we meet about 0430 AM each morning! we is gonna go into the farm store at 0600 AM for their black Friday sales. it's 20% off there for an hour. need sum bolts, cable, chain, and a few tarps. maybe i'll finds a new jacket too.

o-k...went to wally world today (was outta ice cream) and I dropped the old lady....oooops...I mean the loving wife off at the front door and I pulled out and parked and sat watching people! this one dude drives up to the front of the store ina dodge Dakota pickup. newer one with 4 doors and a short box. then a wally world employee shows up to his pickup with a 65 inch flatscreen ina box. the dude puts it in the pickup box and keeps slamming the tailgate against it to close it. someone comes running up to him and grabs the TV box and places it catywampus wise in the box then closes the tailgate for him! I thought that was nice of that guy to do that! then the dude in the pickup just drives off, he doesn't tie it down! I just shake my head...bet he don't make it home with his new TV without it blowing out of the truck box! the first semi he meets will suck that baby right out!
