Must be a Navy/CG/IBM thing.I drink about a quart of coffee a day but

I make it fairly weak by JPS standards. If I get a designer coffee I

want half a cup and fill it up with water.

I used to like 7-11 coffee before they tried to be Starbucks.

I'm just the opposite. I have 1-1/2 to 2 travel mugs every morning of good, rich, and strong coffee. Occasionally I'll get a third from a really nice East Indian girl I work with who keeps a french press in her office. That'll put hair on your chest! :-)

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.

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.

Forget it Tim, no excuses.. you drink googly coffee, even if you just
call it coffee...

Scott, the only "google" coffees I know of have names like "Gran-DAY" and "lah-TAY". I get my usual 44oz. of Bunn at the gas station every morning. That lasts me till noon!

Amen. None of this machiatto caramel jubilleee half pump ****.

'Bold of the day' is the way to go.

"Half pump". Lol! Nothing a shot of espresso can't cure...
