Gotta love my less than adequate workstation graphics card and memory. At first, that smilie wasn't animating and I was gonna be all, "classygirl, why you holdin'out on the new smilies?!?!" cuz I thought 0mg (see what I did there) there's a new sideways big grin!

:glare:

i know that ;) but peet's been getting excellent reviews and i thought you might have tried it!
If I were to buy pre-roasted coffee anywhere, it would be from Counter Culture coffee out of Durham. I have attended in-depth training classes there and I favor their products. Their Idido Yirgacheffe is fantastic!

So your not going to like the Dunkin Donut gift card I got you for Christmas then...... :(
Back about 20 years ago, I thought DD was pretty damn good for non-specialty coffee. I drank it often when I lived in New England. But about 15 years ago they changed it, it is now just average swill.

Oh yeah, good for anything in the store. Your right about the coffee not being as good as it use to be, it's also very inconsistent from store to store and day to day. My family buys me DD gift cards constantly so I use them, it's still better coffee then I can make LoL. Never had a KK, we don't have them around here, but there is a someone that stocks some of the local truck stops, no one will say who they are, it's apparently a disclosure agreement. Those are the best donuts I've ever had, the apple fritters are to die for and you have to get there before 9 AM to stand a chance to get one.

Down south, if the store "has the light on", it means the assembly line is actively running and you can get them straight off the end of the line while they are still hot. OMG.................

Nice, bet there is a line when the light's on! There is a cider mill a few miles from here, they make donuts while you watch, while they are basic plain, powdered or cinnamon they come straight out of the frier and are handed to you, pretty damn good. They also make huge pies, the apple pies from scratch, the apple is wonderful but the pecan in the best, nice and gooey. Now I'm hungry..... Oh yeah, they also sell a horseradish cheese, man that good!

Sitting down, facing forward.
To me me, KK is just a little too sweet. DD has turned into an air pillow. The only good donuts come from a few bakeries around here, but my wife picks up the best from a little bakery in Queens. Cinnamon coffee roll melts in your mouth!
