for drinkers of timmy's

Lots of places won't fill your personal cup anyway, for health reasons (possibly also to control portion size). Maybe Starbucks will if you bring in one of their travel mugs, but as far as I know places like McDonald's will not.

Sometimes I work in the boonies, and McD's is one of just 3 places to get lunch closer than 15 minutes away. But I don't drink their coffee, it is pure-t shit!

I learned about the cup weirdness when I asked for water--they told me they track portions by counting cups, and while the water was free, they had to charge me 50 cents for the fucking cup! They also said no fast food restaurant is supposed to refill a drink in a used cup, or take your germ-ridden personal cup back behind the counter for health reasons. But that was a long time ago, who knows, maybe their bizarre cup protection policies have changed...

Oh yes, they are very well concerned about the publics health and safety

I drink Starbucks Frenchroast black and I'm happy

best beans I ever had were Kona beans when I was in Maui and Honolulu, but buying those beans is like paying for pot!

WRONG! I may put up with crap coffee when I have to, but at home I use only the best fresh beans and am willing to pay top dollar for kona or blue mountain! I like to use a french press also. No cream, no sugar.

Get one! The difference is dramatic, not kidding. It's better than a drip coffee maker which traps the coffee's oils in the filter, and a percolator can overheat it and make it bitter. With a french press all the oils end up in your cup, and no bitterness, just the best tasting coffee you ever put in your mouth! Plus, it only takes about 5 minutes to make.

Sorry, stuffy, I have not yet acknowledged your genius discovery...very clever!

I was looking at a Bodum coffee press. What do you have?

This one actually but it wasn't in stock at the store I was at...
