Where do you get your coffee from?

[Ban my account ffs!]

From my Bunn with 100% Colombian (I'm a stickler about that... Colombian coffee is the best).. usually with milk.  No sugar.

I've decided Dunkin Donuts Coffee is on the bad list.  It's caffeine... but it is not good coffee.  McDonalds is another common coffee provider with off tasting coffee that certain avid followers seem to love. 

I'm not a coffee snob because I can tolerate bad coffee just fine.  But I am becoming a coffee connoisseur in that I've actually realized what good coffee is.  I prefer Colombian because it is ever so slightly fermented before they roast it.  And fermentation does a whole lot of good to a whole lot of our foods and drinks in the flavor department.

My Keurig because it's way cheaper than buying coffee every day.

This. Brand-wise, I prefer McDonalds and so do most people I've spoken to.

Keuirgs are horrible.  You can make whole bean coffee that tastes much, much better for 1/3 the price.  It's not like traditional coffee makers require an engineering degree to operate.

1/3 the price is no bargain if you only want 1 cup.  The smallest non K-cup machine I've seen is a 4 cup machine.  K-cups don't really compete with traditional drip coffee makers but with instant coffee. I drink at most 2 cups of coffee per day, so making even small pots of coffee makes no sense for me.

Instant coffee is disgusting.  I don't know how people drink it.  It seems especially popular in commonwealth nations.

If you drink (one) 6-8oz cup of coffee per day, then Keurig might make sense.  But if you drink several cups.. or one at home and one on the way... then a drip brewer makes sense.  The "cup" measures are for 6oz cups of coffee... not the standard 8oz size.  So 4 cups is 24oz which is not that hard to drink if you take it with you in a thermos.

I was looking up statistics and found that Minnesota, at least per google, has the strongest interest in coffee.  Even ahead of Washington, home of Starbucks and Seattle's Best.  It makes sense considering that northern Europeans are the heaviest coffee drinkers in the world.  That spread to the new world as well.

As for instant... Australia is where that is most common (blech).  But it has much more to do with the fact that Australia and the UK are generally tea drinking cultures.  So why have a special machine for coffee when you can have coffee (albeit less tasty) with a hot water pot?

At least there's a practical reason for it.
