We have a Tim Hortons coffee maker and it can brew a full pot of coffee in 3min! And usually brew Tim Hortons coffee but from a store I prefer Starbucks.

I don't think my grocery store sells Tim Horton. In fact, I had never heard of it. Is it regional or something?

It's even better when the barista is in a bikini and keeps getting better as she sheds more clothing.

So you actually DO like coffee, it's just the presentation that you find disturbing.

Yes, it is! There are quite a few Tim Hortons' coffee shops open in the U.S. now, however.

The best coffee in the world is this new special blend. It's so good, it makes the water taste just like water. And it's crystal clear too. It's as good as plain water.

Starbucks "used" to be good.. but the quality depends on the barista.. and usually it isn't a seasoned one.. so your coffee isn't foolproof it does require technique.. especially for espresso.

At home.. french press, is the best taste--- when you have time it isn't as hot as other ways of making coffee..

I have tried the vietnamese drip, aeropress (like a big plunger with a filter), stovetop moka, regular drip..

Hot water and a nice roast (fresher beans the better!) Coffee beans can spoil as the oils become rancid over time..

"Weasel coffee" or Vietnamese Kopi Luwak -- is rich and no pun intended a chocolate aftertaste lol but a bit pricey.

A nice double french roast is pretty good for me.
With a heavy ratio of water to coffee and added with whole milk...

I try to avoid sugar.. as it well doesn't help the healthy living department.

;-)

YMMV

As for Instant, Sanka, Nescafe or the "new" name of Starbucks Via coffee... lol hot brown water doesn't mean it is coffee!
