Well it could be the different locals but the one in Findlay is terrible.

Yeah dlazz must not get coffee a lot if he has only had one bad cup. I'd say the worst one I've had was from Denny's normally there coffee is bad but there was one time when it tasted like absolute shit.

Starbucks and DD are good but I'd rather save the money and get McDonald's.....really isn't much difference.

I drink it pretty regularly, but I don't deviate too much from my sources of java.

I go out of my way to get coffee at Starbucks.

McDonald's is awful.

Dunkins coffee is good but we don't have one in the Newark area. We do have a Caribou and it is good. Not a chain but have to agree with gerb131 about River Road Coffee. It is very good.

I think McDonald's coffee is terribly bitter. Dont know why the old folks herd like cattle there and drink the crap.

Duncan Donuts is good and I like Tim Horton's for the money. I like my coffee with cream and sugar and the double doubles from T Hortons is tough to beat.

Starbucks is way overpriced for coffee with a shot of syrup in it.

I don't think DD's is all that more expensive than McD's. How much is a large coffee at McD's? DD's its $1.79 which isn't bad at all.

I'll drink fancy coffee sometimes if I go somewhere. If I'm just drinking regular coffee, I'll make my own. However, I try not to because the only time I drink it is when I have to get early for something. And I don't like pooping all the time when I have shit (lolz?) to do.

I'm not into the whole chain coffee stuff. My Daughter on the other hand is constantly at Starbucks.

I just have a few Keurig cups in the morning to sober up. Coffee messes with my high blood pressure as it can't be the beers. ;)

Yeah this is awesome. For years they were saying NOT to drink coffee because it raised your blood pressure and stuff.

I've read a lot of studies lately that say something similar to that study. One study had coffee as the #1 source of antioxidants in the American diet.

I personally prefer Starbucks and then Caribou. Anytime I have McDonald's I always end up with awful heartburn...

I rarely get coffee out. I usually have some nice beens at home that I grind fresh for each pot and when I think I'm really going to be drinking coffee a lot I get some green beans and roast them fresh. So much better that way. Also, french press.
