Each to their own is precisely it.

It all depends as to whether or not you like strong coffee and then proceed to weaken it with cream (milk) and sugar or whether like it just plain black no additives.

I prefer my coffee black but not too strong so I don't see Timmies as being "dishwater".

In that vein I see Starbucks as being "battery acid" it's way too strong for me.

Yes, I only take my coffee black as well - just like my heart really.

A lovely cuppa starts the day, if I get a hot drink whilst at work it'll be coffee as tea from a fast food chain SUCKS!

I prefer a Vente, non fat,extra hot, no sugar vanilla latte and one of them chocolate prezel thingies thats a bit like a kit kat twix on a stick.

However since I have gained a few pounds going for a Vente, non fat,extra hot, no sugar vanilla latte, I have stopped and I only have one if I am stressed.

BUT now summer is almost here those vanilla moolatte's are calling OH NO I will never ever see my skinny jeans again

None of the above.

I make my own brew from coffee imported from Germany, but originating in Colombia.

Try eBay for TH. We've been shipping over extra large tins from Canadian shop for some time now. Works out cheaper than even the best UK coffee which still doesn't even compare.

Apologies but thought I'd keep the options neat and short so can't include every coffee house.

I chose the 'tea' option, not so much because I'm English but tea is a big thing here in NL, probably moreso than elsewhere in Canada. I seldom drink Tim's coffee because it's rank and I get free coffee at work (so why line up at the drive through to pay for it). The best coffee I've had recently has actually been from the Irving service station I drive past on the way to work!

OMG don't get me started on the tea here!! I just ran out of my British stocks so the other day resorted to buying "President's Choice" Earl Grey - foul, foul, foul! I simply can't drink it. Good job visitors are coming in July with more supplies

I've got quite used to the Tetley "Orange Pekoe' here. In fact I hardly ever bother with my stash of PG Tips from UK.
