Bob and I enjoy coffee. No, we are not Starbuck lovers. Their regular coffee tastes burned to us. We think McDonald’s coffee is ok but a little strong.
We truly enjoy Dunkin Donuts coffee. The temptations there are great. Too often we add a donut or two to our order. But we love their coffee enough that we brew their brand at home. Not cheap but one of life’s pleasures for us.
While in Canada last summer on work, we discovered Tim Horton. There are a few “Timmy” stores in the US. Not enough to reach to Chicago area. We did find them in Buffalo while visiting Bob’s niece. She has tried to brew Tim’s grounds but not the same. She claims his coffee is addictive and possibly contains cocaine!
I will confess Hortons was so good that I had several afternoon cups from their stores up in Ontario. I rarely drink coffee after my first two mugs in the morning. It was just wonderful.
My question is, if it’s that good, why hasn’t Timmy found his way into the midwest? Also, why so few Dunkin Donuts. Many towns have no Dunkin Donuts. I’m not sure why not. You should see the lines at our local shop every morning. Sundays are huge as folks pick up treats for home or church. They sell donut holes called Munchkins.
Bottom line. For regular coffee, Dunkin Donuts or Tim Horton. Worth the search to find a decent cup of regular coffee. If you want froth or spices, maybe Starbucks is for you. They are currently trying harder.
‘til later
