In honor of Starbuck's Frappuccino Happy Hour this whole week I thought I'd devote a post to my faves in the area...
I'd like to start off my telling you all that I like my coffee black, bold and STRONG. Not because of the caffeine, but because of the taste. I don't know why the coffee drinking world masks the delicious flavor with so much sugar and milk - yech! Makes me think you haven't had a proper cup of coffee.
1. Hands down- I LOVE Starbucks coffee. And, what's more important, I love the way they make it. It tastes like fresh coffee- and that's it. I've even gotten to the point when I walk through the door, they pour me my Venti Bold, I pay with my Blackberry app and I'm out the door in about 45 seconds. Love it.
2. The Turbo Hot from Dunkin. I don't like their coffee on the regular but putting a shot in it helps. When I'm in a pinch or I have Maksi with me, I go with Dunkin. Not only do they offer drive through (a mother of an infant in a HUGE carseat's favorite) they usually get my order right.
3. McDonalds. I found out about this one by accident, really. I was there getting a McGriddle and found out that I could go off the menu and get a cup of coffee with a shot of espresso in it (just like the Turbo Hot) for $2.12. Their lattes are good too.
4. French Press from home. I just got this pup about a month ago and haven't had my coffee properly ground for the press yet but so far- it's good. Steeping coffee properly makes a HUGE difference. I've also played around with putting cinnamon sticks and/or a pinch of salt to spice up the flavor. Both work. And how.
How do you take your joe, dudes?

Basically, I drink hot water.
