i love strong coffee!

it's the only way to drink coffee. i've been on a huge starbucks kick for the past couple of year, only realizing i really love coffee more recently. but the thing is: it has to be strong. instant coffee is definitely out. weigel's and pilot are rather "truck stop" tasting. starbucks, for me, makes a level of strong coffee consistently that i really enjoy.

now i know many people don't like starbucks because of pricing. it really isn't that much more than other non-convenient store prices, but then so is the quality. my grandé cup of bold is around $1.70. the pricing misconception is the specialty coffees. (usually when this point is made, the confession is, "oh, well, i don't drink regular coffee." -- then quit your whining!)

i am not locked into starbucks on my strong coffee adventure. (this might not be that much of an adventure, either.) but it is my staple for good, stronly brewed coffee. as i find ones i like, i'll post it here.
