Coffee and Beer is All You Need

  • Статья

I was born and brought up in Boston. Consequently, I was born and brought up on Dunkin' Donuts and Dunkin' Donuts coffee. It's hard to express the joy of DD's coffee if you haven't had it. There's just something about it that's really good. Tasty. I mean, I like Tully's. I like Pete's. I like Torrefazione Italia. I even like Starbucks. OK, I guess I just like coffee. But there's something special about Dunkin' Donuts. I order five-pound bags from www.dunkindonuts.com about once a month. I brew it at home. I brew it at work.

More than that, I have a favorite beer: Mac and Jack's African Amber. It's brewed in Redmond and you can only get it on tap. It's unfiltered, kind of sweet, and eminently drinkable. I like other beers, too. But I really like Mac and Jack's. I named my cats Mac and Jack.

Aside from water, I could live on Dunkin' Donuts coffee and Mac and Jack's African Amber.

I think I have a beverage problem.

    John, You should definitely check out fellow weblogs.asp.net blogger Dave Burke's ode to Dunkin Donuts coffee cup from a while ago. Here's the link! http://weblogs.asp.net/dburke/archive/2003/06/21/9085.aspx

    Not claiming Petes or SBUX is the best? Sounds like a career limiting move for 'Softie. I like DD much better than SBUX, but I'm on the right coast so I can get away with it.

    Did you move away before Green Mountain came to town? Their Harvard Blend, Breakfast Blend, and Our Blend are great. I used to be one of the coffee czars at DEC and my job was ordering (and therefore picking) the coffee. We were one of Green Mts largest non-restaurant customers. That's a lot of coffee!

    I haven't tried Green Mountain. But has anybody else tried coffee from Seattle's "Good Coffee Company?" It's down near Pioneer square behind Fado. Very good, but only open from 9-5 on weekdays...
