Hey guys, did you see the article in CoinWeek? Concerning Coffee coins? Just seeing this gives me the urge to enjoy a great cup of Starbucks Coffee.

I do not drink coffee (last cup was in the Navy, 60 years ago). My wife does, and I make her a pot every morning. I like the smell, but not the taste/aftertaste. Plus, I do not need anything to wake me... always get up between 6 and 6:30, no alarm, go to bed around midnight. First drink is a glass of OJ/Lemon juice, followed by a bottle of sparkling spring water... Then, look out world, here I come. Cheers, RickO

Not a Starbucks fan...... with over 50 + years in the food industry I can asure you there are better coffees out there.... Mayorga roasters their organics are superb!, want something bolder Pony up the money and buy a bag of Jamaican Blue Mountain .

Bang for the Buck, Starbuck's is excellent - I buy French Roast and grind it fresh every morning - inexpensive and top rung, even if not the best. I take a mug of it to work about half the days and nurse it with great pleasure for a couple of hours....
BTW, the best Kona (coffee) will knock the socks off of Blue Mountain. Coffee in Costa Rica is mostly very, very good.

I am a Dunkin's fan. 2 cups a day and brewed by my lovely wife every morning.

Yes! Agree. My favorite is the Sumatra. Dark Roast. Love the strong stuff.

Komoda Dragon is good also.

Not all Starbucks offer it (look for the black Starbucks logo inside), but their single pour-over coffee is excellent. It takes an extra couple of minutes to make, and most baristas don't like to advertise they will do so (especially when they're busy), but it is more than a decent cup of coffee at no extra charge.

Not a huge fan of Starbucks but it'll do in a pinch...

Best cup of coffee: dark roast ground before a 4-day backpacking trip in the Superstition Mtns east if Phoenix during a winter snowstorm...

Worst cup, and biggest letdown... at a 5-star hotel in Tashkent. They had a grand set up looking like a cappuccino machine that served old school Soviet instant coffee. Their solution to crappy coffee was to make it so strong that one could remove paint with it...

Yes, I am aware, thanks. Used this method many times. It is actually the BEST cup! Strong as strong can get. Esp. when I request for them to throw an additional scoop of grounds in the mix. Lol. Most of the time they are very agreeable and on board when I ask. Sometimes, they ask before I do.
Just another thing worth mentioning. I do have my coffee with some non fat (skim) milk. Not black. So it's not a full powered java explosion.
