Starbucks Java Chip Frap!

My favorite hot drink is hot chocolate :) can't get enough of it!

1. coffee straight up - Costa Rican or Kenyan with a dab of skim milk. I prefer a dark roast. Most people can't drink my coffee they find it too strong.

2. Vanilla Latte, extra hot non-fat, but with whipped cream.

Jackosh: My wife is a Starbucks junkie, I am sure she will drink one of those as the weather gets hotter.

nowickedwitch: Ever had what they call a European Coffee? Take a espresso maker and make the espresso into a regular cup and keep the machine on taking a long, long draw till it almost fills your cup.

Super strong with lots of crema and a distinctly different taste. You should try it sometime if you have the chance.

My all time favorite is a good cappuccino. I recently had a cafe latte hazelnut and it was deliciously sweet, but it's one of those things I enjoy when it's cold and raining and not on an every day basis.

I always buy organic fair trade coffee either in an organic food store or at a good coffee dealer.

Coffee

I like coffee when it's generic, freeze dried, been sitting in the pot for a couple hours... you get the idea. I really only drink coffee very late at night, especially on mid-shifts. I love Waffle House coffee and cigarettes at about 3:45 in the am!

Any coffee that has french vanilla I'm game with.

Dunkin Donuts Iced French Vanilla Coffee with cream and sugar

I really don't drink coffees. I prefer a mug of hot cocoa every morning although there's a gas station down the street from me that has an awesome Cookies & Creme Cappuccino... Mmm!! Tastes like a molten Oreo.

Depends on the time of the day and activity. Before a good ride on the road bike (i.e. cycling) a ristretto hits the spot (with a bang) while for less intense coffee delight, a capuccino is always nice...

Anne: Right on! I am a big fan of fair trade coffee. Whenever I head into a coffee shop I always ask if they have any, the extra cost is worth it to me.

carmodyarc: Now imagine that coffee left overnight and then reheated the next day! That is the state of my Father's coffee nine times out of ten. Brutal.

joenewbreed: A lot of people like to bag on Dunkin Donuts but they really have a pretty good product, sure its not flashy inside but who cares really? Plus their donuts are fresh unlike that crap Starbucks tries to pawn off on its customers.

a_romig: A friend made me some of her special home made hot chocolate this winter and it was absolutely amazing, really made me rethink my stance on hot chocolate. I think it was the addition of mint that really piqued my interest.

JPhill: Vanilla Latte, classic simple, can't go wrong.

@Starbucks:
triple grande soy vanilla latte.
Iced in the warmer months.

Cappuccino all the way.

Mmmm. Steamy cappuccino. In fact, I think I'm gonna go get one right now.

There's this Creme Brulee-flavored brew that Coffee Bean has, on occassion. Yes, that would be my favorite coffee...

Columbian Supremo from Quick Trip..... BLACK.

Strong coffee.

I also like the Vietnamese style (strong through a press and in condensed milk) iced coffee and Thai iced coffee (roasted rice mixed in with the coffee beans).

well I love cappuccino made by myself at my friend's restaurant :) they have espresso machine (coffee powder comes from Lavazza coffee beans).. and I do the foam with the fat milk. Eventually I draw something cool like an heart or something with the foam and that's it :D very good..
besides I just did some artworks about Coffee Art on my website :)

Starbucks' iced soy caramel macchiato!

carmodyarc: Now imagine that coffee left overnight and then reheated the next day! That is the state of my Father's coffee nine times out of ten. Brutal.

My father-in-law does that. He believes coffee needs a starter when brewing.

I don't see the appeal of coffee. I don't like the flavour and I don't need the caffeine. I don't drink energy drinks/ soft drinks either (unless they have alcohol in them) although that has nothing to do with the taste.

If I go to a Starbucks (or other coffee place) I normally end up with a frappuccino or a hot chocolate.

a_romig - LOL! Glad to hear my Dad isn't the only nut out there. Wanna hear something even stranger? My Grandfather likes his coffee boiling hot, imagine McDonald's worst nightmare - super heated coffee in the hands of a late 80's man and that is the way he likes it.

BinaryMoon - its definitely an acquired taste and often ruined by over roasted/burnt beans. Try some real kona sometime when you have a chance and do it in your teapot, might be smoother for you. Also, paper filters are the devil, can ruin a pot of coffee faster than you can say Starbucks.

superrats - So funny you mentioned Thai Iced tea, I LOVE that stuff -- was just thinking about it the other day and this awesome little restaurant in Chicago called Penny's Noodles.

Coffee made from the Guatemalan Elephant bean - French Press (cafetiere in the UK) is best, though it works damn well as an espresso or drunk long with milk...
Ok, now I'm off to buy coffee!

I must admit my tastes in general have changed over the last few years - I had some coffee sweets recently that weren't too bad at all (I have a very sweet tooth), so maybe I should try some very sweet coffee some time, something more subtle could be ok.

Coffee I hate is Senseo, brrrrr. It's watery and rather untasty, I actually prefer the stuff that comes out of the machines at the university.

AnneHelmond: Senseo is not the best in the world, but you don't know pain until you try a Tassimo. Absolutely brutal..

I'm not fancy; I make and only drink very strong coffee. Family members and friends make fun of me because it is strong. I rarely order coffee with a meal in restaurants because it's 'brown colored water'.

Hacendado Espresso Natural (Crema) madeat home with 1/2 cup of warm milk.

Known as Cafe con Leche here in Spain. Now to make you all jealous - out in the cafes it would cost 1€ and come with a small biscuit or mini ice cream!!

In Cafe Marshall you usually get it with a white chocolate Oreo or home made flapjack :-)

I love vanilla lattes with extra vanilla and nonfat milk. I don't opt for the whipped cream.

My coffee turn-ons:
- Sumatra beans (Peet's Coffee)
- Sipping cappucino in some quiet cafe in Vienna
- Turkish coffee with datil (Lebanese date cake)

Do chocolate covered coffee beans count?

If not, Starbucks Frappuccinno. Coffee, nothing else. Blended with ice, but extra, extra runny.

I like coffee that tastes like coffee. None of this flavored stuff that's half cream and sugar. Give it to me black and strong; Sumatra, that's what I'm talkin' about. And FWIW, I'd rather drink gas staion coffee than Charbucks. They over roast their beans and it leaves all their coffee tasting burnt.

I really like AeroPress. Also, I'm a big fan of a good iced Americano.

I don't know much about coffee but I was recently in Boston for a 4 days weekend with girlfriend and it was amazing and yet almost annoying to see so many Starbucks in close proximity to each other. Needless to say, that I've become a huge fan of the French Vanilla.

jlencion - had afriend do a review of the Aeropress a while back, he swears by it. I'm a sucker for a good french press myself.

I love all coffees, but I'm a big fan of Cuban Coffee (basically espresso with sugar brewed into it) even though usually prefer my coffee straight.
