7. I've never heard the term gaggin' wagon before.
In the military, we used to call it a roach coach.

5. A light roast

16. I have had to cut way back on my coffee consumption.

I drank a pot a day for years. I'm down to two cups in the morning, but I can't give it up completely.

35. I have a neice who worked for Starbucks, in L.A., and she used to
send me bags of different Starbucks blends, unground. I would take them to my local shop and have them grind the beans up, order up some delicious Starbucks coffee cake, go home and make a morning of it. Yeah, I like Starbucks coffee, too.

Granted, all of these guy's coffee is awesome, but these two stick out as best in show for me.

43. Dunkies!
Dunkin Donuts. Regular, ie, with a boatload of milk and sugar.

Yeah, yeah, I'm supposed to name some obscure organically grown, fair-trade, grown-on-a-collective bean from Elbonia or Carjackistan. Too bad. I'm a loud-mouth Irish-Catholic guy from Manch Vegas. I like my Dunkies Coffee and a plain cruller. Deal with it!

Strange.

For brands, I prefer Caribou Coffee. I like smooth medium roasts and rich, strong roasts. I'm fond of Sumatra.
