This is the best topic I can think of for a Monday! Coffee! Im a huge fan of Foldgers Coffee! And let me tell you I use 6 scoops of coffee and if I can see through my coffee when I hold it up to the light then its not strong enough. I should have been born in New Orleans I think...I drink it like jet fuel. And yes I enjoy creamer..International delight works the best with Foldgers (FYI). But any real coffee drinker can always drink their coffee straight without any adds! Just wondering if there was anyone else out their with the same kind of affection for coffee as me!

We drink Dunkin Doughnuts coffee at my house. I have no idea how many scoops we use because I just use the pour method! I pour the coffee in until it looks right! I like it a little stronger than my husband does. We mostly use Coffeemate creamers because that is what he likes but I don't mind International Delight either. Right now we have hazelnut, vanilla, amaretto, chocolate mint truffle and eggnog flavors. I don't like the amaretto or anything with cinnamon in my coffee. He bought cinnamon hazelnut once, I couldn't even drink it. I really want to try the new coconut flavored one but I have only seen it in a huge bottle and I don't want to buy it and hate it. Speaking of New Orleans, Cafe Du Monde has a great Cafe Au Late! Mmm, I miss living in the South!

Thats funny that you should bring up the dunkin doughnuts coffee...I am out of Foldgers, but my Mother in Law had brought me some Dunkin Doughnuts coffee that she had bought...I dont seem to mind it too much and it was a life saver when I remembered I had it...Nothing like opening your coffee to realize you are out!! And then remembering its okay cause you have back up!! Wheeewwww!!!

Oh yeah, I prefer Foldgers also. I usually use 3 heaping scoops, strong but not too strong. As for creamer, I love Coffeemates holiday flavors, I am addicted to the Gingerbread flavor, but my boyfriend likes plain coffeemate in his. We normally have a pot going most of the day on the weekends, and since I usually get home before him I start a pot when I walk in the door after work, as does he if he beats me home. So, you are not alone. lol

I am a Maxwell House girl myself, on a normal day, but this time of year I get really into the gourmet coffees as well. For instance, in October or so a friend of mine in CT sends me a huge bag of Pumpkin Spice coffee, the only sell this brand in her area. So, I love that every now and then, with just a bit of milk in it... perfect! I also like the Millstone Chocolate velvet flavor with just a bit of milk in it, it's great. Alright by itself without milk too, but much better for this flavor with milk (it gives it almost a milk chocolate taste) On normal days like today, I drink Maxwell House Rich Original, yum. 6 scoops,... HEAPING scoops. Mine has to be dark too. Love it that way. I use Coffee Mate Vanilla Caramal flavor. That is my favorite. However I have Cinnamon Vanilla and Peppermint Mocha in there right now for a little bit of holiday cheer! LOL! I do like Folgers too, and will drink that without a problem, but I grew up on Maxwell House, and I'm just stuck on it unless Folgers is the only available! What can I say, I just love coffee... already had a pot of it today, and I am thinking about making another to cut the chill! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Either works for me! Usually I get what's on sale. This week Maxwell House. Last it was Folgers Country Blend. If I drank a pot that strong, I'd be on the moon...For creamer I always use Coffee Mate. They have wonderful flavors. It's my little diet secret. coffee for dessert. Right now sitting in my fridge. I have Toffee Nut, and Pumpkin Spice. All the flavors with out the pie! wink!
