Usually Starbucks whole bean, ground at home, Pike Place or sometimes French Roast. We also brew it at work but its usually the bolder blends.

Starbucks french roast but my wife thinks it's too strong. Anyone bought a Tassimo machine?

I don't know if you're interested in that machine specifically, but if you're generally shopping for a single-serve machine, I can recommend the Keurig line. I got mine from Costco for $119 including 90 single-serve cups, and I buy boxes of 25 cups for $14 each. And, there are tons of varieties of coffe for it.

I use Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee and brew ten cups with only eight cups of water. I use a Cuisinart coffee maker as it grinds and brews in one step. I keep the beans in the freezer to keep them fresh.

See below link...

Mayorga is a local bean roaster so when we buy their beans in nearby stores they are extremely fresh and Oily. Starbucks, Bought in both stores and Starbucks shops cannot hold a stick to the freshness of Mayorga or any local roaster for that matter.

I grind the beans every morning and use a French Press with boiling Spring Water.

I was a big DD fan for on the road but McD's has really upped their game in Coffee quality and I like it much better.

nothing beats grinding your own beans. I've been hooked on coffee since I was about 13 years old though... I'm trying to stop... around the time I was 16 I was drinking easily 7-9 cups a day to make it through school. Coffees bad.. it messes with you after a while, you cant focus on anything, you cant wake up, sleep deep, always tired.. tons of problems.. the worst was I was getting 10 hours of sleep a night and I still slept through my alarm, and I would often crash for a few hours after getting home from school.

Coffees horrible, I just drink 1 cup a day now max.

+1 on the Keurig 1 cup machine. I have one and its awesome. It came with this basket type cup where u can put your own coffee grinds in or just use the regular k cups. Its great in the mornings and especially when i'm going in for a midnight shift.

I think thats the same deal I got on mine, I like it so much I gave one to my Dad for Xmas. Have you tried the donut shop by coffee shop?

Jamaican Blue Mountain is awesome, I sometimes get Hawaiin Kona and a Cost Rican blend as well.

Standard is Dunkin Donuts at home in a Cuisinart (gotta love a thermal pot) but I don't grind, it's too loud if the little one is sleeping. If I need a cup on the road I get McD's.

You are right Kona is very good but quite pricey. For a cup of coffee on the road, McD's has really done a great job with making good coffee.
