Are You A Coffee Snob? email this discussion to a friend?

I will admit to being a big one!!!

My husband and I uare used to coffee from Second Cup (a Canadian chain of coffee shops that are like Starbucks only 1,000,000 times BETTER!!!). This morning Hubby and I went with my mother and step-dad to McDonalds for breakfast, and ordered coffee. They were convinced that it was better than it used to be, but I still coudln't drink it. it just dind't taste right. My husband likes Second Cup coffee (he LOVES IT!!) but when it all comes down to it, he'll drink Instant Coffee, if that's all that available. I, on the other hand, would rather drink NOTHING, than have a bad cup of coffee.

So tell me, are you a coffee snob, or will you drink just about anything?

What's your favourite coffee, and why?

I won't drink instant, don't care for perked, but will drink almost any kind of coffee it its made by drip. the worst coffee (besides instant and perked) was too strong, made by a German lady and it tasted burnt as well

I'm no coffee snob, or I'd be drinking the stuff black, but I won't do that

I like brewed coffee....but am not a snob...at least I don't think I am. I am with you on the McDonald's coffee....I don't like it one bit. I am however a cappuccino snob. I like a good one or would rather go without.

I wouldn't say I was a snob, but I am picky about my coffee. I definately agree about McDonalds. I was traveling recently and stopped at Mickey D's to get coffee to stay awake. It was honestly the worst cup of coffee that I've EVER had!
I will not drink instant.
Personally, I like my own that I make at home. I buy the flavored ground that our local supermarket carries. Normally French Vanilla or something with chocolate.
My favorite combination is a dark chocolate blend with Coffee Mate Peppermint Mocha creamer!

When my husband was in the hospital a few years ago having heart surgery it was a long day and I took the elevator down so I could get myself a cup of coffee. When I got down stairs I could see the cafeteria was full and really I thought from the day before their coffee taste like dishwater. I noticed down the hall was a starbucks, I'd heard so much about it and no one there so I asked for a large and a large I did get but there was just no way I could even swallow it it was so strong it was thick. I asked the lady to pour half of it out and pour hot water to fill. I got the dirtiest look you can imagine but she did it. Now remember I did say I love coffee and I was graving a cup but I still had no choice but to leave it there and walk away. It cost me a fortune and just nasty strong I couldn't drink it. As for instant coffee NO Thanks, I'd rather have water or nothing. I love Tim Hortons coffee, with half a shot of cream.

I like all coffee but, I like mine made at home best of all. I'm not really into flavored coffee. I will drink a few but, they are really not my first choice.

I'm not a coffee fan, I do like Chai Tea and I've had it from Starbucks and Panera. I like it from Panera better so I guess I'm a Chai Tea snob.

hi danishcanadian of course I have my preferences when it comes to coffee but I will rather have a cheaper brand of coffee than none at all I have to admit. During the work week I only drink that instant stuff which should not really be called coffee, Símply as the filtered coffee out of the machine is too expensive at the office and instant is the cheapest way to get some caffeine in the morning.

My fave brand here in Germany is Dallmayr which is rather expensive but we buy it when offered for bargain prices and then we stock up on it.
