Clearly my fellow blue staters are idiots for overpaying for coffee. What a bunch of elite feminine snobs!

1. Starbucks can't even

make good coffee. It's all about Caribou Coffee for me. Unfortunately, it's only in MN, WI, IL, OH, GA, NC, ND, MI, IA, and DC.

8. Caribou or even better, Dunn Bros in MN

16. Caribou, like their slogan says, is the best coffee on the planet.

Oh, how I miss the 'Bou since we moved away from my beloved homestate, Minnesota.

I spent a month with my parents in August. I was at the local Caribou every day. They got to know me. ;)

I just ordered a bunch of coffee beans for some Christmas festivity.
