What are all you guys drinking these days?

For me, I buy the Starbucks Columbian roasted beans from my grocery store and grind it myself.

Same here, Starbucks columbian or dragon coffee, grind it myself about 2 minutes before brewing, in a bur grinder.

Tastes terrific !

My favorite coffee is free and hot.
My favorite beear is free and cold.
Usually like a dark roast if I am grinding the beans myself.  Like Yuban if using right out of can.

I drink Seattle's Best.

I have never understood why people drink Starbucks.  Burnt flavor.  Although if you want you coffee to taste like smoking a lower end cigar...

I have two options at work - Starbucks or Maxwell House.  Although I agree the Starbucks blends have a burnt flavor, Maxwell house is the most vile coffee I've ever tasted.  So I drink the Starbucks because it is free and easy.

I buy my beans at Costco sometimes. I try to buy/drink from local coffee shops though. I find they are the best!

Lately I've been grinding Eight O'Clock Columbian. Two reasons, one they are Arabica beans, vs. robusto.  Two, I can get it at Big Lots for $3 a bag.  For "everyday use" I love it, and it is as good or better than the Fair Trade coffee I was getting at Sam's.  Sometimes they have the regular version or flavored beans for the same price. Can't beat it.  Only thing better is finding sales at those damaged freight places.  I found some a few months back, including Starbucks for $1.67 a bag (beans).  There are still some bargains out there.

I'll drink Seattle's Best or Starbucks. Either way I like my black, dark roasted coffee every morning.

French roast ... dark and heavy. Work gives us Timothy's in a Keurig cup. At home it's whatever we find that isn't skanky and is a decent deal. I have had the Starbucks French Roast beans, and they're not bad but also not great. I think they try to roast the beans too fast or something.

In my household, the compromise between cost and taste that we have settled on are beans labelled under the local Kroger brand that come in a copper colored bag ... not sure they are available nationally.
