      I drink between 6 and 10 large coffees in a day, all instant Nescafe.  I don't have the time to make the good stuff and anyway I find it really upsets my digestion if I take more than one large cup of expressed or filtered.
      
      I dream of getting back to France and Italy where almost every cafe makes good stuff and I wish Starbucks could make good coffee.

      Eight O'Clock beans ground at home (or not) - or else good, old, Maxwell House Original.   Drip maker.  Made less strong than the brewing directions recommend.
       
      Half a 12-cup carafe early in the morning, at lunch, during the afternoon, at dinner, during mid evening, for the 11 p.m. news and a few hours later if I'm still up.  When I'm not home at any of these times I'll get two cups from somewhere outside.   
      
      Coffee pretty much fixes whatever ails me and prevents a lot of things from "ailing me" as well.

      I like Organo Gold Healthy Gourmet Coffee and I was never a coffee drinker until I introduced to this Healthy coffee, they have 3 Flavours, Black, Latte and Mocha. 
      
      This coffee is good for whatever ails you and its Healthy so you can drink as much as you want without the jitters or the high and low that regular coffee gives you.

   Well, I need coffee to wake up. Going to Starbucks is a treat I savor when I can.
   I have an expresso machine and make various coffees at home. Not so much into flavored columbian beans, but I do like a Zimbabwa for the low acidity (I have Barretts). As long as I keep the temp about 140 I am happy.
   In the summer I make coffee syrup with a toddy maker. A double shot is equivalent to a tall strong coffee. With 1/2 & 1/2, milk, ice and a shot of Baileys...I smile Holly

   Peet's Coffee (or cheaper Costco darkest roast) - espresso roast  made at home with a 2-cup french filtre pot - grind the beans fresh every morning and make it strong.  two cups in morning - sometimes 1 or 2 in afternoon when I don't mind staying up a bit late.
   
   Important to warm the 1/2 & 1/2 and froth it with a whisk before adding to the coffee and put the other cup in a thermal cup for later.  Don't let it sit and cool off - make fresh and keep warm. don't reheat it  yuck. 
   
   Starbucks coffee makes me feel like I've taken speed - so no thanks.

    I love Starbucks' flavored lattes and frappuccinos for a special treat, but I'm aware that those are more "desserts" than coffee, and it's a $5/day habit I can do without.
    
    For my daily pick-me-up, I make lattes at home with instant espresso. I microwave skim or soy milk, then stir in a couple teaspoons of the good stuff, Medaglia D'Oro Italian-style instant espresso. It tastes great, and I can control the calories and sugar (I usually don't add any). A jar costs $4.25 and provides me with enough coffee for about a month. No appliances or cleanup necessary.

    No addiction here. I can quit anytime I want. Then I turn into Beelzebub.
    
    I like my coffee strong and straight up. A cappuccino or a flavored coffee every once in a while as a dessert, but most of the time something bold. The kind of coffee that tastes like someone left a cigar butt in it.
    
    Favorites: Kona when I can get it (tried some on the Big Island & fell in love with it). Hardy Passion. Even a good ol' Eight O'Clock Columbian in a pinch.

    I like a strong coffee but it has to have a little half and half in it, not milk or powdered creamer. I am a fanatic about that. I usually buy the Starbucks brand and grind the beans at home. I drink it throughout the day.

    I like ground espresso beans brewed in an automatic drip coffee maker.  Some times I get other types of beans, like Bavarian Hazelnut, in the bulk food section of the grocery store.  Once in a while I'll get a Starbuck's frappucino.  I also like coffee with praline liqueur, brown sugar, and milk.  I'm not sure how much I drink, probably 5 cups a day.

          Mmmmm, sounds nice.
          
          I buy Morrison's own brand strong blend fair trade coffee for filters/percolators (Morrison's is a chain of UK supermarkets).  It's got a nice espresso-type flavour without being bitter.
          
          We have a really high tech coffee making system in our house (not): it consists of a Pyrex jug, a plastic filter thingie with holes in the bottom and a packet of 1 x 4 filter papers.  Does the job very efficiently though!
          
          I like my coffee with a little bit of full-fat milk and - if I'm eating a savoury breakfast - a spoonful of honey. 
          
          Who was it said that Starbucks made them feel as though they were on speed?  Perhaps American Starbucks is different to British Starbucks, which IIRC is like drinking a bucket of lukewarm milk with a little bit of coffee flavour chucked in (and paying a small fortune for the privilege) - the sort of thing likely to send you to sleep rather than into orbit LOL.

    I love coffee! I make a large cup at the house and then drink 2 or three small cups (on the house) at work! At home, I put 1 1/2 tbs. Of generic Colombian coffee in the coffee maker and fill up the maker with a full cup of water from whatever sized mug i'm going to use! I then add evaporated milk about 1/2 tbs. to my empty mug and place it on the hot plate and turn it on. Walah! brewed coffee for one! Generic is at least 40% cheaper than a name brand and it all tastes the same! I hate to drink instant coffee!

    I like a nice dark roast. I use an "old fashioned" Mr. Coffee drip coffee maker. I like a nice Colombian blend, and hope to be trying a Yemeni Mocha in the not too distant future, When I'm on the road, I like to get an English Toffee Cappuccino, filled between half and two-thirds and the rest with either a caramel or french vanilla brewed coffee - to thin out the cappuccino and add a little more flavor.

    Starbucks is an acidy strong cup pf really good Joe versus Dunkin being a softer more watered down version. Nothing bad some of us like the strong others like coffee a bit milder. It all depends but for me the best Lattes, frappuccionos and iced drinks Starbucks is the way to go.

    I used to drink almost 12 cups a day but have been cutting back. Now I drink about 4. We use a drip coffee maker and prefer Dunkin Donuts but that's more of a treat than anything (we just got 4 bags for Christmas!). We usually alternate between New England when it's on sale and Folgers when it's not.
    
    My sister-in-law shared an article in National Geographic about caffeine that was disgusting. Turns out, though, that it's better to cut back than quit. Once you start, apparently you can't turn back. It messes with your brain. I should probably find the article before quoting it because I am so not scientifically minded!
