eI load it up at night and Judy starts it when she gets up. By the

When I get up it is still hot. That is all I need

My wife cannot drink the coffee I like - too strong. The stuff she likes tastes like brown water.
The Keurig makes life much easier.

Shocking eh? Starbucks tastes like it was brewed two days ago and kept
warm. Awful stuff.

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.

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.

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...

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.

The few times I tried Starbucks, I got that impression, too.

Also, if I am on the road locally and want a cup of coffee, I can get
decent coffee at WaWa or some other place for a buck and change. I don't
know what Starbucks gets for a cup of coffee these days, but I'm
guessing it is at least $3.00. Since plain coffee suits my taste, I
can't think of any reason why I'd want to pay a premium for a cup of
"fancy" coffee.

Casey's coffee is pretty good too. They have Columbian and French roast and those are my favorites and even their house blend isn't bad. I can't stand hazelnut though...

Try the Verona. It's strong, but very smooth.
