4. Used to have a 6-8c. a day addiction
until I had to quit for health reasons. Now I drink only decaf.

And I always said, death before decaf, well I rethought THAT rather quickly. :D

5. I'm a...
...Can't-Afford-A-Five-Buck-A-Day-At-Starbucks-Habit, brew-it-at-home coffee drinker.

(And even if I wanted to get nickeled-and-dimed every day, Dunkin' Donuts coffee bites.)

7. I gave up coffee about a month ago
But I really only liked my own..Melitta traditional or classic brewed very strong with half and half and sugar. I never liked Starbucks and could tolerate Dunkin Donuts.

Since I gave up coffee, everyone at work and home has been much more mellow.

9. So far, it's 60 % LL, 20% DDD -
(Looks like at this point on Sunday night, the people who can indulge their whimsical desires for an imaginary hip black friend are outnumbering the people who need a President.)

LOL! You must not be an Obamatron! (Or if you are, you're feeling a little squeezed this year by textbook prices and a surprisingly expensive meal plan!)

24. Sorry!
:hi: Not in terrible shape myself, but I also find Starbucks a complete waste of money. I might have a coffee there two or three times a year, and if I do, it's regular old plain coffee -- (I always have to remember that "tall" means small.)

17. I am more like the Dunkin Donuts Democrat due to finances
Although there are no Dunkin Donuts out here. My favorites places for cheap coffee are gas station food marts.

I do have issues that I want addressed that would affect my life in a very close-up way. I think that is probably what separates a Dunkin Donuts democrat from a Latte Democrat.

Some people may think words are change -
But you and I know better: words are cheap.
You can't just talk about the special interests;
You have to take them on.

21. I can't really afford to buy coffee most of the time but Dunkin' Donuts is
much closer to my budget than lattes! I make it at home and drink the free stuff at school most of the time. :)

23. Nothin' like home-brew
Well, home-filtered, actially. Freshly ground dark, rich roast. Super-hot water good-tasting water, just off a boil. One cup at a time, completely fresh-brewed. There's just nothing that can compete, nothing.

26. Latte liberal - I'm in Seattle! - though I don't drink latte's. Drip coffee from a good
small roaster is my preference. Starbucks is an acceptable alternative, when necessary.

27. I'm a "make my own" pragmatic progressive. Starbucks tastes like crap to me.
Dunkin Donuts is owned by Republicans and that mendacious Carlyle Group. I won't give them my money!

I get my coffee in Brazil. Or Puerto Rico. It's cheap and delicious.

Bain Capital, FWIW, is where cretinous Mittsy the Shittsy made his dough: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunkin'_Donuts

Dunkin' Donuts, along with Togo's and Baskin-Robbins, is owned by Dunkin' Brands Inc. (previously Allied Domecq Quick Service Restaurants, a part of Allied Domecq). Dunkin' Brands was owned by French beverage company, Pernod Ricard S.A. after it purchased Allied Domecq. They reached an agreement in December 2005 to sell the brand to a consortium of three private equity firms, Bain Capital Partners, the Carlyle Group and Thomas H. Lee Partners.

31. No preference, really
I like it strong with sugar and creamer.

Lately I've been buying Caribe! because it's teh cheapest on the grocery store shelf.

I think I got into a fight with MrCoffee once about how I liked Hazelnut, but that is Lounge drama. I told him that I was pulling down espresso levers when he was a baby. I've had some of the finest coffee ever made but in the end, I don't really don't care as long as it's strong with sugar and cream.

33. Somehow, I think I can mark you down for Obama.
You could probably single-handedly provide health insurance to several well-deserving but economically-disadvantaged little moppets from the money you personally spend on your "Gevalia Costa Rican Peaberry." Here's hoping you need no sugar to make it taste sweet! :hi:

41. I could also feed a small village on what I've pissed down the drain buying alcohol
over the years. I could invite the homeless to live in my guest bedrooms. I could give away all my possessions and live in a cabin in the woods.

Instead, since its morning, I'm going down to put on a pot of coffee-no sugar, just cream.

Here's hoping that sanctimonius attitude works for you.

Oh, and I haven't chosed between Obama and Clinton yet, so your dig was even stupider.

34. I'm a closet latte liberal. I hate the fact that I really enjoy an iced cinnamon dulce latte.
...but it's an expensive habit I am well on the way of breaking. I am now 6 months starbucksfree.

35. No Chains Bind Me
At home, from the supermarket, Seattle's Best, Henry's Blend or French Roast. Dark, rich, reliably delicious.

If I drink too much of anything (including coffee) that contains caffeine I am highly prone to panic attacks.
