The "Starbucks" sort of coffee is too strong for my taste.

If the Starbucks coffees are too strong for you' then you're a girlie-girl.

Actually, Mr Nofinger, this is one point I have to agree with him on.
Shocking eh? Starbucks tastes like it was brewed two days ago and kept
warm. Awful stuff.

I dont' have a problem with Starbucks coffees, whether strong or not. To me, Coffee is coffee. My wife loves the place though.

But when there I order...coffee. Not some coffee flavored drink with some googly Italian name.

Don't drink their bold flavors! I like the bold ones, but my wife can't stand them. They always have
a milder coffee on tap.

To me, the coffee tastes like the bean was burned.

The "Starbucks" sort of coffee is too strong for my taste. If I am
driving somewhere, I get coffee at WAWA. It has a few exotic coffees but
also has the plain coffee we non-snob traditionalists like.
There's one remaining 7-11 nearby, which I frequent only when there's a
$500 billion lotto ticket to buy. WAWA has hit 7-11 hard.


We don't have WaWa down in Ft Myers. It is 7-11 and Circle K mostly



I know there are a few in Orlando. Didn't see any around Ft. Lauderdale
or Miami earlier this year. Not familiar with Circle K.

Circle K is just another "Shop and Rob". Gas, beer, hotdogs, fountain
drinks and wrapped sandwiches with a few shelves of convenience store
priced items.

In about 1979, I got my morning coffee at a Circle K. This store made some
of the best coffee I have had.

Well, have you ever tried the home version of a Bunn. 170 degree water
makes a difference...

I don't understand the the draw of the Keurig. You buy an expensive
machine and you get to pay $.80 or more for the cups to brew your
coffee. It takes no more than a minute to get the coffee maker setup
each evening and have it on a timer to enable you to wake up to freshly
brewed coffee.



It has advantages. The one I use was $99 and, as I mentioned, it's
over four years old and still works fine. I like it because:

Faster and easier to make that first cup of coffee in the morning.
Faster and easier to have a cup of Joe just about anytime.
No wasted coffee to throw away. Brews a cup at a time.
Each cup is sealed and fresh.
Allows you to experiment with a wide range of different types of coffee.
Makes tea and hot chocolate just as fast and easily.

I had forgotten. I also purchased a commercial type Keurig for the
guitar shop when it opened in 2009. It's still at the shop now, works
fine and is used everyday. The customers like it, (it's free) and one
regular customer drives a delivery truck for WB Mason. He keeps us
supplied with a "lost" case of K-Cups every once in a while.

Wide varieties of k-cups are available for .40 cents or less. I use a
stainless steel k-cup and usually Maxwell House coffee from a can. I
figured out once that I was paying less than 5 cents a cup for the
coffee that way, and I prefer plain old Maxwell House to the "fancy"
k-cups.

One of our machines went teats up after three years. I called the
vendor, and for a $10 fee, I was sent a brand-new machine and a return
shipping label for the old machine. Pretty good deal.
