Coffee & Donuts??
 
$4.43 for an XL coffee and 2 donuts???? Really??? Well I am starting to think these coffee places are pricing us "ordinary folk" out?? That does seem insane to pay for a cup of hot water and 2 donuts????:wall: I might have to think about giving it up???

I can get a full breakfast and a bottomless cup o' Joe for $8 plus tip!!!

a cup of coffee costs DD 5 cents

Coffee's a buck, any size, at Mickey D's.

And an Egg McMuffin is actually better for you than a donut (let alone two). I think I read somewhere that an Egg McMuufin with cheese (no sausage) is 270 calories. Don't get the hash brown combo meal. Still under $3.

I give myself exactly one donut a year. Try to make it a good one.

The hardest type of cup of coffee to get around here is: BLACK. They always want to put something in it......must think to get your monies worth or something?

lol
 
i keep telling ya
but ya won't listen..........

ya gotta try some tasters choice
GOURMET
instant coffee

make it in 2 minutes flat (in microwave)

you wouldn't believe how much i get done
in those two minutes! .............while i wait

prolly ten cents per cup
and a container usually lasts a month for 8.99

we both think DD's coffee sucks taste wise by comparison

Hell, you can have a tea kettle
on top of your new wood stove... :grins:

No self respecting coffee drinker brews his coffee in the microwave???:smash: I drink instant at home.....Maxwell House is my brand! I love Dunkin' Donut coffee but have been realizing.....$2.50 for a cup of coffee is getting ridiculous!

Raven 10-31-2010 07:58 AM

i reserve the word Brew for BEER thank you very much

can you brew coffee out on a Kayak ....NOPE

Make your own and save a lot of $, time and calories.

I agree with Mike P. - If I buy coffee out it's Mcdonalds for 1$

Mostly brew at home but otherwise it's Wac Arnolds or Starbucks but the $$$ at the bucks adds up fast.

I can guarantee you.....I could if I wanted to.

It can be done. Get backpacking stove, pot, water and one of those "pods" of coffee that make about 3-4 cups. Boil water in just minutes with coffe packet in it. Oh and hot coffee tastes 100 times better when its made far from an electric outlet or kitchen. ;)

My biggest issue with DDs, aside from the coffee tasting like crap, is that you can order two regular coffees and they'll both taste completely different. Don't even bother going to DDs anytime but the morning or you get some burnt liquid that taste like diarrhea.

I never understood people that leave their house in the morning and then make their first stop at DDs to pay $2-4 for garbage. Coffee makers are cheap enough and most come standard with a clock and timer. Set it up the night before and you have hot coffee the moment you get out of bed in the morning. Buy a nice, double-chamber thermos and you'll have hot coffee all day that tastes like you just made it.

Mc D is a buck any size, and very tasty,, seems pretty simple to me Lawrence. With all the aggravation they have caused you over the years I find it hard to understand why you would keep going back unless you are using them for motivation to pad you post total.:wavey:

BigFish 10-31-2010 01:57 PM

I know they have "Newman's Own" coffee there now but I can't get past having the worst cup of coffee ever served me there many years ago......the weakest, rustiest, most flavorless cup o' %$%$%$%$ I have ever had! The first and last time I ever got coffee there!!! HOWEVER......for you guys.....I will give them a try tomorrow!!!:uhuh:

Redsoxticket 10-31-2010 02:45 PM

How can you distinguish the true genuine taste and aroma of coffee when you add cow milk and sugar.
The smell of heated milk makes me gag.
Do you also add m&s to tea ?

Exactly the reason I haven't been to McD's in years for a cup of coffee.

Agreed. I only drink my coffee black and people sometimes look at me funny. If you drink good coffee that is freshly made (with fresh beans), cream and sugar just ruins it.

I've always felt people add milk and sugar to cover up the taste. Not to mention the people that order "Light, with extra sugar". Why even bother at that point?

stcroixman 10-31-2010 04:31 PM

add me to the list of black coffee drinkers

Cause they're not from the area and never heard of coffee milk :grins:
