BADASS COFFEE!!!!!!!

I am Canadian and I actually do prefer Starbucks thesedays.
Timmys is much easier though. There are 60 in London alone.

 

[T9D]

Starbucks is the McDonalds of Coffee

 

[Lonyo]

Coffee sucks.

 

[jimbob200521]

Folgers is what we have here.

 

[ElFenix]

after seeing the starbucks' owners' mug plastered all over ESPN for the last several days i've developed a strong distaste for starbucks. the guy looks like a weasel.

 

[Gatecrasher3]

hahha, if anyone from the US comes to Canada one of the first things you will notice is that there is a tim hortons every 10 feet here. %65 of i liquid intake is tims coffee

Starbucks = Staryucks. Burnt coffee.

Dunkin isn't bad, but their stores are woefully inconsistent when it comes to coffee strength. When their coffee beans are on sale I'll buy them and grind them myself.

I've bought several bags of various coffee beans at sam's Club and they have all been pretty bad; muddy.

New England coffee is a decent pre-ground that is readily available in supermarkets.

I rather have Peet's and my favorite local spots.

Folgers,
Maxwell House,
made at home/ work FTW.

Second Cup for me, or any of the many small coffee shops here in Toronto, tims is good but wouldn't consider it real coffee .

 

[imported_Imp]

I like Tim Horton's and all, but Starbucks does it for me. But if you want crap, I don't see how people could possibly line up to buy McDonald's coffee. Got my second cup in a week from them yesterday while getting breakfast, what a load of tasteless crap. It's like drinking warm water with a bit of a coffee smell.

Sucks for you guys that don't have them yet.

I like their Fireside blend. The only Caribou we have here is in the mall, which is quite a bit out of the way for me, so I don't buy it very often. I've been buying Eight o' Clock whole bean lately and for ~$6/lb, it's almost as good as the Fireside (which is 2x the cost)

 

[randomlinh]

i really like starbucks sumatra whole bean.. grind it myself. I got some to use googles checkout system... now I want more, but it's kind of expensive compared to say... cheapo ikea stuff

I'm surprised there aren't more Peet's fans here. I never bought into the hype until I tried their regular, plain old cup of joe when I was in San Fran this summer. Not the single faintest hint of bitterness whatsoever, and I drank it black with no sugar (as someone suggested.) Wow, that's damn good coffee!

A deceased hockey player (Toronto & Buffalo) who opened a few coffee & cruller shops on the Niagara peninsula. They are now franchised & as Gatecrasher3 says: "if anyone from the US comes to Canada one of the first things you will notice is that there is a tim hortons every 10 feet here. "

The coffee is better than average but I prefer SB decaf Sumatran. At home, I use 8 O'Clock or occasionally treat myself to a nice Kona.

That is so true..

5 at the Wharncliffe/Southdale intersection alone

 

[SagaLore]

No idea what Tim Hortons is.

I think you should add Carabou Coffee on that list.

 

[Janet Reno]

Tim Horton.

I think they make new pots every hour on the hour and it's way cheaper too.

 

[everman]

I roast my own coffee beans for espresso and press pot generally.
