FF, you need Cappuccino, actually, request for a Mochaccino because it is a cappuccino with chocolate.
but do ask for chocolate sprinkle, in case they'd sprinkle with cinnamon, so that's a 2 in 1.....
or a Mochaccino..
 
Isn't that stuff loaded? Silly as it may sound, never had one, nor a capp/frapp or other either, I'll give it a shot...
 
don't get frap thats starbuck's bullshit, go to a real cafe, not starbucks, get a cappuccino, or a latte, or flat white....which is different again...
cappuccino is the best one its very nice.

Yeah I grew up living in LONG ISLAND. I FREQUENTLY visited NYC long years ago and I ALWAYS had cappuccino there. IT was the best drink. It's at an italian cafe. Sad to see that lots of italian bakery and cafe are gone. WHITE peeps take over and make BLAH coffees. :(
 
Did somebody say hot chocolate? Dunkin Doughnuts has pretty good hot chocolate-- with whipped cream. Yummy. I just may need that next week Saturday. :P

YUCK! I brought some Starbucks hazelnut coffee and was so disgustedly sweet . I do not liked my coffee tasting like a candy bar. I only put a little milk in mine .
 
I am going to buy pumpkin spice latte from Dunkin Donuts soon. I hope it is good.

yep, im quite familiar with it, but cheap burr are still really BAD....overheat, affecting the beans, grinds, noisy or just plain it can't do even grinds....

We have a Capresso burr grinder. I looked, it's $90 on Amazon. If a good burr grinder would have cost $500, my SO would have paid that. He paid $2500 for the espresso machine.
 
I just use a percolator, and it's Dunkin Donuts vanilla coffee or whatever vanilla coffee I can find on sale.

that's better, now whats the machine?:hmm: but if you want to have discretion just pm me
 
I use the Melita single cup method. My sister got me the plastic Melita cone that you set on your favorite cup. I do not use their special cone filters due to price and varying quality. I found the Mr. Coffee type filters work just fine and I can buy them in larger quantity way cheap.
I grind my own beans with a simply blade type bean grinder...again cheap. I have learned to grind for drip coffee by trial and error.A half second over or under grind makes a difference in the flavor. I am not real picky but the right size coffee particle makes a rockin cup of joe.

I buy whole beans that I can see. I like a nice light brown medium roast.I care that the beans are fresh and not greasy in appearance. I have found a (again cheap) blend that they sell
a lot of tends be more freshly roasted and is around seven dollars a pound. I have spent way more on exotic beans and so on and the plain truth is for me I am having a quality flavor that rivals most of them.
Also the single cup method cuts down on the brewing acidity that somehow I don't know why happens with the Mr. Coffee system.
