I do have 1 question for all.

How many cups of coffee do you all drink in a day?

I probably drink about 4 cups Black with sugar.

Dunkin is my 1st choice followed by Wawa if I can't get to Dunkin.

i don't drink coffee every day. when i do drink it, i drink the whole pot. 10 cups. i have a huge cup that holds a half pot at a time.

You people and your drugs. It’s never enough is it?

ok...time for the next great debate that started in the GDT.

You want a bowl of your favorite cereal, what gets poured 1st into the bowl? The cereal or the milk?

Anyone who goes milk first is a cereal killer... ha ha ha get it? Ok ...I’ll stop

Best cereal being Peanut Butter Capt Crunch or Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

Edit- Apple Jacks too

And if we are talking coffee, I think DD you go black. It’s already pretty sweet to me. They add wayyyy too much sugar or creamer if asked. I’m all for Starbucks > WaWa > DD

Don’t care for cereal. Rather eat a better breakfast.View attachment 197777

Are you Ok? Are you human? How the hell do you not like cereal?

You do realize they even make healthy cereals.

Your eggs in the picture look very sad. Do you think to eat healthy all the time is going to save you from death? I have seen the healthiest people drop dead. I have seen many 400lb fat people go from every disease you can think of because of overeating.

I keep it in the middle and like to enjoy healthy and unhealthy food. Moderation my friend learn to love it.

Not a big cereal guy, more of a spinach, ham and cheddar omelet type with some home fries kind of guy.

However, if I do eat cereal, it's usual something simple like Cheerios with blueberries and some sliced banana. Oh, and the milk goes on last, only barbarians and Ranger fans put the milk in first.

Also on a cold morning, a bowl of piping hot, steel cut oatmeal with some brown sugar and cinnamon mixed in is good.

Not really a fan of any of the coffee chains, I usually try to find a local coffee shop. But if I can't, my top 3 are:
1. Dunkin
2. McDonalds
3. Gate (north Florida's closest thing to a Wawa)

Starbucks is vile, it's the Dale Weise of coffee.

My breakfast consists of egg bake (I use a food processor to finely chop veggies - toms, broccoli, onion, egg plant, b. Sprouts, cauliflower, peppers, etc..add to a dozen eggs, spices and bake).

I also have homemade fried potatoes, fruit and usually ham with spicy mustard.

6 Scrambled eggs cooked in coconut oil and lots of puréed garlic is my alternate.

Here's a pic of my last egg bake (cooked yesterday).

Not sure I get the Starbucks hate. The price sucks but I think the quality is much much better than DD.

Speaking of coffee have any of you guys tried that mushroom cognitive coffee? Like the stuff that Joe Rogan promotes? I forget the name but wondered if it’s a hoax or not

Starbucks roasts way too darkly. Others do too, but they take it to a ridiculous degree. A big part of the reason they do it is to try to safeguard unity across thousands and thousands of stores -- the lighter you roast, the more difference in flavors you can taste from quality/region of bean. As you go darker, the flavor converges into uniformity and unfortunately you lose most of the non-bitter flavor. It also lets you hide cheaper beans, but that's just how larger chains work in any sector.

@BiggE has this nailed. Go local. It's not even more expensive if your base is Starbucks.

For chains, I usually go Wawa, then McDonald's.

Interesting, thanks for the information!

I do like local spots on weekends and when around. Honestly 90% of the time I use our Ninja and love it.

Edit - you ever try that mushroom coffee?
