| Henry's Blend from Seattle's Best. |

| Maxwell is what we have in our house. Very good. I hate Starbucks coffee though so we obviously have different tastes in coffee. |

| Dunkin Donuts is a nice, medium blend. Pass on it if you like it strong though. |

Dunkin' Donuts. Hands Down. Starbucks is the overpriced WORST. Since you asked. |

| If you ever come across it, try Swings - it's a little local brand that they happen to sell at the takeout on my street. There's a brick-and-mortar coffee shop down by the White House, and they sell it here and there. It's wonderful. |

Almost doesn't matter. But my #1 suggestion would be to get a French roast (the darkest, most intense coffee there is). And after that I recommend:
2. Buy beans and griding them youself. 3. These brands, in this order: * Peets (chocolately, rich, hands-down the best grocery-store available coffee) * 365 Whole Foods brand * Starbucks * any other brand But honestly, once you get #1 (French roast) and #2 (whole beans you grind yourself), #3 (brand choice) adds substantially less value IMO. |

| Newmans whole bean. And the profits go to charity. It is better than Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts and Eight O'clock. |

| Peets Major Dickason's Blend... if you really wanna do it up, make it in a french press. You'll be over that Starbucks addiction quickly. |

I second this! |

| For what you pay at Starbucks, you can afford to buy 3 bags, keep your favorite and throw out the rest. And you will still come out ahead. |

agree Why be this picky in the middle of a history-making blizzard? You're lucky you even have access to hot water. |

| Zeeke's. It's roasted in Baltimore and I know MOM's, in College Park, carries it but I don't know who else does. My husband likes Dunkin Donuts much more than Zeeke's so that's what we have most of the time and Zeeke's is a treat. Especially when they have their booth set up at the Greenbelt Farmer's Market and I can get their iced coffee. |

| Consumer Reports just rated store coffee and Starbucks House Blend came in first. My favorite is Trader Joe's French Roast - good stuff! |
