First-World Problems...Part 십칠
It's actually pretty difficult to find a cup of good coffee in my neck of the woods. There is Starbucks, which is foul swill, and a couple of boutique coffee houses that are good, but not as good as my home brew.
And then there is Dunkin' Donuts, which I have tried...once. And it wasn't bad! But it was at 7:30am, and there was a line out the door, and I got too much cream and too much sugar. Yes, I am scarred. But it was half the price of the other places and it was good coffee. Maybe not spectacular, but I also wasn't bombarded with New Age crap and political messages and overpriced coffee paraphernalia and pierced and tatted "baristas" who are really actors or writers. And damn...they were hustling.Hat Tip: Blake

I had one great coffee house where they prepared their own beans. It was heaven. New owners took it over and destroyed it, claiming they were bringing it "back" to where it started. Except I was there when it started - it actually never changed - all the new people did was piss on my leg and tell me it was latte.
It had a good 20 year run. I miss it like hell.

I used to go to Donkey Dognuts a lot, until they closed the branch I used to visit.
I get the sense that they have been in decline for some decades now. A pity.... a vestige of an earlier time, when the waitresses called you "hon" and the coffee was strong enough for the spoon to stand up by itself.
Also: you'd never find a "pastry" made out of kale and tofu in DD.
Pure, white sugar. Or maybe brown sugar, maple syrup, or honey for variety. Chocolate. Caffeine. All the major food groups.
OT: looks like Kamaltoe has had really, REALLY bad plastic surgery.

Completely anecdotal/unscientific/tiny sample study to report - that is, by today's standards, a rigorous study from a "prestigious" institution, to be blared in headlines - but the local Dunkin' franchisee appears to be suspiciously American and sensible.
There is even an e-Verify sticker on the window of the store I've gone to!!!
Seriously - I'm surprised, in Weimar America, that any business displaying that sign isn't instantly firebombed, boycotted, or its personnel attacked. I guess that'll be in the next phase.
And yes, almost a Chic-Fil-A (spit) vibe with the young employees, or as I explain it to foreigners visiting when we go to In 'n Out, like much of America was up to the 1970s.
Coffee's OK, good enough for non-boutique stuff, which I don't generally want that often. And .... donuts.

Home-made cold brew is the way to go for me. Super-smooth, super-delicious, super-strong.
Buy one of those inexpensive home-brew coffee-maker dealies -- they're basically just a pitcher with a hole in the bottom into which you put a filter.
Follow the instructions -- out the filer in, then dump in a bunch of coffee ground and water.
Let it sit overnight (12 hours), then unplug he bottom and let it drain out into any container.
You will get a huge amount of super-delicious coffee concentrate. Smooth, less bitter than normal coffee, almost floral and sweet.
Store in glass container in fridge, use a little each day. Lasts for weeks.

My frother died, and I have to get another. I don't know what it is about frothing the half-and-half that makes the coffee taste better. Someone once said about giving a successful kid's birthday party, "All drinks taste better with a straw."

Home brew is the best brew. I have a farmer's market near me with a stand run by a Columbian immigrant (legally jumped through all the hoops to become a US citizen...I know this because he is damn proud of that fact and shares it with everyone) Anyway, he roasts his own coffee and brings in the beans to sell. He won't grind them for you. He believes that speeds up the process that would make them stale.
So you buy whole bean from him or you don't buy anything. He does some great roasting including using a smoker of some blends with chickory. Good stuff.
I went out and bought a Ninja Coffee Bar set up. Sounds a bit pretentious....but it offered the one thing I truly wanted...the option to make a single cup of coffee using regular beans and not thos processed cups or whatever those things are.

Do need to get an espresso machine. Had one for years, years back before I moved, it was great. Could make excellent espressos and the standard frothed milk drinks, quick/easy (and cheaply) at home.
And, some day, spend time in Italy again, where the coffee bars are delicious and entertaining.

Another specifc they seem to be competing on now is oatmeal. They're different, but I'd say equivalent, although of course Starbucks is more expensive. MacDonald's sells mountains of their oatmeal.

McD's used Seattle's Best for several years.
$tarbuck$ owns them now.
Their beans have been good in the past but what the McD's out here is pleased to call coffee is not drinkable.
BRCC Beyond Black for me. I joined their coffee club and get mine delivered like clockwork monthly.
There are three small roasters around here but the product can be uneven in their shops.
Tried Stumptown at the hospital in Seattle. Three cups tried over three visits. First was exceptional, the next two were ghastly.

I just had my first Krispy Kreme donut in years a couple of days ago. Kroger's sells them, and I've been nauseous off and on since surgery. I savored every bite of that donut with a cup of coffee.
This morning, I asked my husband to split one in half, lightly butter the halves, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, and broil. It brought back childhood memories. My mom would bring slightly stale donuts back to life that way.

The guy really loves coffee. He has a sign hanging at his booth that says. "I have the best smelling garage in the state." I used to do it manually like you do...and it was fine, but this machine I have now is great. I can put most parts in the dishwasher...and it has excellent controls for richness and cup size. Plus the system heats up the water and lets it into the filter, but will keep the filter closed for a portion of time so you can really make it strong. I love it.
For the single cup from freshly ground beans thing, I do the pour-over, little conical-shaped holder with paper filter.
And these days, on the hotter days, back to Vietnamese iced coffee, done right.

McDonalds coffee is a great value, they buy a ton of coffee from suppliers, turn it quickly so the ground packs don't go stale, and are supposed to make a new pot every 20 minutes, or so a manager once told me.
Pro tip: Always ask the order person if the coffee is fresh. Most are trained to offer to make you a fresh pot if it is more than 20 minutes old. That is the life of a pot of fresh coffee sitting on a warming tray. It is cooking on the tray, unlike when in an airpot carafe.
Or if they seem lazy and the coffee isn't fresh, just flat out ask them to make a new pot, and yes I will wait the 4 minutes for it to brew.
It's worth the wait.

We have a Keurig. Just replaced an old one, and the new model lets you adjust the strength. My husband is up around 5:00 and has a couple of cups before leaving for work (although he's been staying with me since I'm not weight-bearing on ankle yet). I typically have just one cup per day. It works great for us because we're not throwing out old coffee when I get up.
He has a commercial type one at his office, since some people are swilling coffee all day.

Seattle's Best Coffee was a leading independent roaster in the 80's and 90's. Really exceptional coffee, Jim somebodyorother was the founder. They sold out to an Atlanta food conglomerate about 1996, they ran the brand into the ground, and then Starbuck's bought it up for nickels and dimes in the mid-aughts.
SBC is now the "budget" brand for the Green Dragon.
And it is all roasted at the same Starbucks roasting plants as the more expensive SBUX brand.

Worked in China for many year and the premier CHinese grown coffee was "Blue Mountian coffee" which was absolute shit.Commies can't tell the truth about ANYTHING.
The 2nd best coffee I had was working in Turkey (Izmir). They make it strong. Hand grind the beans fresh, put the grounds in this tall tin lined triangular brew flask (narrow top, wide bottom) with a handle on the top. You pour the mixture into a cup and the design of the brew pot kept the grounds in the pot (although you never drank the cup tpo the last drop because a few grounds were in the bottom). They like their coffee real sweet. I loved that coffee. Thick, ricj and it would put hair on your chest (and eyeballs).
But the very best coffee I ever had was working in Nam in the Boun Me Thouc region. Forget Kona coffee, Vietnamese coffee was the shizzle. Man that stuff was good. They do a pour over, little tin press contraption with holes in it, that you put the coffee in and pour the hot water over.
I still make coffee that way. Each cup is fresh and not that stale burnt out piss you get at Starbucks. You can take the blandest , commodity medium roast coffee (found at Aldi's). brew it like that and it kicks ass. People always ask me, after drinking a cup , "Thats some good coffee, what brand of coffee is that?"
Its not the coffee, its the brew method.

This morning, I asked my husband to split one in half, lightly butter the halves, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, and broil. It brought back childhood memories. My mom would bring slightly stale donuts back to life that way.

If you visit Vietnam, among the non-First World problems you'll have will *not* include coffee - though they don't do much American style coffee. I suppose you could always add water to the strong brew they make, sort of an "americano" as in Italy - a diluted espresso. They use little metal drip containers, and tend to make it *strong*. Local coffee, of course, they're a major exporter now.
Usually it's "diluted" with sweetened condensed milk, and then ice if you prefer, and for hot days (most of them).
World-class coffee + sit watching the local world go by, on a par with Japan, Brazil, etc. Street-side cafe in Saigon/HCMC, morning rush hour - slow-moving rivers of main streets, filled with people on their motorscooters.

Seattle's Best started life as Stewart Brother's Coffee.
Based on Vashon Island near Seattle.
It was quite good at the time.
I left Seattle, that time, before they got bought out.
Too bad, they were way undercapitalized to compete with SBUX.

We get a case of Folgers K-cups from Amazon (I know) every other month. We typically only have a cup or two due to the interaction of caffeine with some of our meds. It's not a serious thing... but still, we're old.
Periodically we'll go wild. Our Keurig will accept those K-cups for the carafe we got with it, but nobody seems to sell them. I've seen Green Mountain (yuck) pods for it, but haven't really seen any others.

[iMostly it gets fed Peet's Major Dickason's Blend. Which I still think is some sort of inside joke in Berzerkeley.
Posted by: BackwardsBoy
Here's the full story:
https://www.peets.com/major-dickason-s-blend
HISTORY
"A loyal customer of our original Berkeley store, retired army officer Key Dickason brought the idea for our most beloved blend to Mr. Peet in 1969. Intrigued, our founder worked with the local gourmand and coffee aficionado to refine it. They sampled countless combinations before arriving at what is now our all-time bestseller. The result was so good, Alfred Peet decided naming it after his friend wasn't enough -- Dickason's rich, complex blend also deserved a promotion from sergeant to major. Major Dickason's combines the best origin coffees from the world's premier growing regions, each imparting its distinctive regional characteristics while still effortlessly rounding into a smooth, balanced cup."
Peet's is now just another corporation, but back in the '60s it was just one store and among the first in the nation to do fancy-pants in-house roasting.

With beer, it's Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, Longhammer IPA (not really an IPA), or Yuengling's Lord Chesterfield Ale (not really an ale). Each offers just enough bite. Craft variety is for the kids.

In Iowa we call them maidrites. Even if they aren't from an actual Maid-rite restaurant. (Remember in Rosanne Barr's tv show, she had to call them loose meat sandwhichs because Maid-Rite is TM) Best ones are from Taylor's Maid-Rite in Marshalltown, Iowa. Order them "wet", with w/everything (mustard, pickles and onions) with a chocolate or strawberry malt. They will even freeze them and ship your order to any where in the continental US. Until a few years ago if you wanted ketchup you had to bring your own. Adding ketchup to a Taylor's Maid-Rite sacrilegious!

The shots are as good as any but the very best espresso places I've been to, including Italy.
Worth it, I think.

My husband spent years drinking the South African Defense force version of coffee, and as a result, never minded gas station coffee until he started courting me in Alaska and I introduced him to locally roasted (Kaladi's) coffee.
He may have grumbled about me ruining him for cheap coffee, but it didn't stop him from offering a ring and a lifetime together with better coffee in his house.
Down here in Wichita Falls, TX, one of the local Airmen off Sheppard AFB started Odd Duck Coffee, where they roast their own. It's great coffee; I'm glad that of all the things I miss about living in Alaska, great coffee doesn't have to be one of them.
Although the baristas did look mildly confused when my darling man reluctantly tried a new brew, and emphatically declared their Ethiopian Coffee to be absolutely nothing like the swill he'd actually drunk in Ethiopia when negotiating with some tribes there.
When I don't feel like driving to the city, we stock BRCC Silencer Smooth and Gunship at home. It kicks over my gigglebox, and it's good coffee.

The little tin contraption is called a "phin" in Vietnamese.
Have never thought of doing "regular" coffee in it - will try later today!
Two coffee over-caffeination incidents stand out in the records -
* outdoor cafe at main market in Dalat (Vietnamese mountain town, coffee center) - decided to try the undiluted, unsweetened, un-iced version (ca phe den) all the old local guys were having - yikes, hours before I felt OK
* Lisbon - they have a version somewhere between espresso and American style, very strong, drank a few cups with dinner, was up all night, which allowed me to watch the street cars being pulled in for the night, cleaned, then sent out again at dawn, from my friend's house perched up on a ridge

I owned a commercial coffee roasting business for about 15 years. All phases, from buying beans in a 120 - 154 pound bag, roasting, blending, brewing, selling new accounts, and installing equipment at offices, so I knew machinery, too.
So it was easy to be a coffee snob. It was actually my job. I would make 10 pots of coffee, blended differently, taste it and toss them. It was essentially testing.
And when green coffee beans are $2 or $3 a pound in bulk, and lose about 20% of weight getting roasted, making 10 pots just doesn't cost much. But to find a popular blend was worth thousands a month in revenue from a commercial account.
Some days though, I would be making some good blends, and drink too much. By lunchtime, I was shaking. Time for a big fat cheeseburger to calm the nerves.

A Banana Dream was a snack machine pastry from several years back. Kind of a cream filled taco*** I bought one once at work, put it in my desk, but later forgot about it. Weeks later I found it and decided to pin it to my office wall to see how it faired over time. It survived two union strikes and a nasty layoff. After about eight years it looked exactly like the day I picked it out of the vending machine. Except hard as concrete. Didn't try eating it.

Major Dickeson's Blend is in most local stores around my neck of the woods. If I don't buy my 3 lb bag of Columbian at Costco (fresh cuz it is always turning, and a little over 5 bucks a pound), Peet's MDB is my go to.
Have to watch out to make sure you get the whole bean, not the ground. Most of the pre-packaged stuff is ground. The flavor is fading much faster that way.

My old man is trying to buy a crib for his house, as he has two shiny new granddaughters who'll be visiting their grandparents in TN over the next years, and cribs are a pain in the ass to carry cross-country with luggage, older kids, etc.
He is lamenting the apparent demise of the drop-side crib in favor of the big, fancy, low-slung Cadillac crib of today.
His problem is that he has a bad back, and my mom is practically a freakin' midget. Leaning over these giant cribs makes it hard for them to change or pick up the babies.

Common Tater, best croissants I've ever had were enjoyed while sipping coffee and watching the Saigon rush hour go past. Place is long closed - Bon Banh Mi - but there were/are many other sources. A benefit of having been a French colony.

124 Seattle's Best started life as Stewart Brother's Coffee.
Based on Vashon Island near Seattle.
It was quite good at the time.
I left Seattle, that time, before they got bought out.
Too bad, they were way undercapitalized to compete with SBUX.

Jim Stewart!
yes!
For the life of me, I was drawing a blank on the last name.
In the local coffee world around here, that is the equivalent of being a Boston Celtics fan and saying "there used to be this white dude that shot the hell out of the ball for years. His name was Larry something."
Thanks for the save, Winston.

Circling back to an earlier comment - discount coupons for Bed Bath & Beyond, for the win, on food items. Unfortunately, they changed their policy, coupons no longer usable for beer, a while back - always got six-packs of good local craft beer at a discount that way. But still good for things like coffee beans. They have some kind of house-branded beans, not sure whose they are, prices are not bad to start, and with 20% off .... nice.

dunkin' donuts sparked a memory of the best coffee and croissant I remember - and this had a lot to do that it'd been up for 36 hours straight out the time, out on some well, with little to eat and only some baked for 10 hours mr. coffee in the pot to drink... so coming back, finally, and it's 4:30 AM and there's a little 24 hour Dunkin Donuts across the street from a hospital, so I stop and have a fresh brewed coffer, and a buttered croissant. I was there at the counter like the guy in the "Nighthawks" painting, except I was the only customer there - and they both tasted like heaven, as I sat there and savored them. No other cup of coffee ever tasted so good to me.

runner there was at least one location in AZ that did it as a fairly regular thing, for summer-time - but of course it was immediately portrayed as the apocalypse.
Given the complete collapse of the press as an information source, and the deep degradation and corruption and mediocrity of the public health sector and almost all levels/branches of guvamint, serious observers are down to using only basic incorruptible macro measures - all-cause deaths, compared to average of previous years - to gauge the state of things.
And guess what ...... TX and AZ have been going through, appear to have now gone through, their own curves (with big boost from imported curve of northern Mexico), and will be heading down, rapidly, soon.
Just like the path of every epidemic in the history of Earf. Not that such knowledge should be allowed to confuse the illiterates who dominate the public square and attempt to maintain control of public perceptions.

Posted by: Oleander Salad at July 19, 2020 02:53 PM (IhJme)
A lot of grocery stores and commercial food supply stores (Cash and Carry locally) carry "white coffee".
That is robusta coffee.
Robusa beans are double the caffeine on average than Arabica beans. And harsh taste, too. But the plants grow anywhere, like weeds, and can offer an immediate cash crop to grow for a poor country. And the cost of robusta beans are half price or less compared to Arabicas. The UN did this in Vietnam after the war, to generate a cash crop for world trade.
And there was a new roasting system created in Germany about 20 years ago to roast robusta beans and eliminating a lot of the harshness in the taste.
Your low end Folger's and Maxwell House in the can are now robustas. 40 years ago, they were the leftovers from the coffee auctions in Latin America. Those leftovers were all Arabicas, which is what all "gourmet coffee" is. And why brand coffee used to "taste better". Because it was better coffee than today.
I learned a lot of fairly minuscule coffee information in 15 years.

Now I just order online and don't have to worry about traffic or thuggery or general urban mayhem. I prefer my coffee in the comfort of home rather than going out into <gag> public.

The "Cuban Blend" and "JP Hearty" are my favorites. Highly recommend.

Is TX and AZ using refrigeration trucks for morgues? Sound f'ing ridiculous that's why I ask.
Phoenix ordered some refrigerated trucks to be kept on standby. The mayor is such a ditz she thought that meant they were being used. Other city staff had to "clarify" that the trucks not only hadn't been used, but hadn't been called up just yet as the morgue isn't even close to full.

I get my coffee beans from a local chain called Klatch. Anyone who watched Joe Bob's rant this season about a $75 coffee tasting, well, that was them. It was some rare, kopi luwak-style coffee and that crap's always ridiculous. Their regular beans are roasted fresh locally and reasonably priced. Very good stuff.

Train got me downtown Chicago too early for work so I would stop at a
French bakery just when they were bringing the tables and chairs out and
had still warm bread or a bagel with coffee. Empty streets, nice and
quiet before work was a real treat for me. Now you'll get shot.
To be fair, you'll get shot after work too.

I sent off nasty gram to Super and Board president (who I know, and they know me) challenging them on science behind requiring mask. I threw stats at them on fatalities of covid vs Influenza, citing at least 3 sources, just like I was taught in college. I expect to hear crickets in form of a reply.

LCD, good info on robusta/arabica. Was aware of this, but didn't know Vietnam was mostly robusta? They have excellent coffee country (mountainous, climate) for arabica, I would think.
I recall, years back, at a local roasting chain in NoVa, I started bs-ing with the owner about world coffee matters, and he brought out some green beans from Colombia, Kenya, and Vietnam. The Vietnamese ones were much smaller, irregular, and had lots of foreign matter mixed in. The guy said Vietnam was really infuriating the other major exporters, as they were able to price their exports far below the others.

Interesting article at Zero Hedge. It would appear the wearing a lace or transparent mask is actually legal, since it's a face covering. Also... in the UK, they require masks, and the masks say that they do no protect about CCP Lung Flu.

Vlad, didn't yet watch that, but S'bucks in Japan has its appeal. Mostly the Japanese service style, meaning the hawt young baristas bowing and bringing you your $7 latte. And location - some of their locations are the best people-watching spots in some cities.
Though generally I prefer the Japanese chains, like Doutor.
In Osaka, a few years back we made a point of stopping to have coffee in an old-style, US-style, coffee shop - clearly a product of the Occupation years. Everything, including the crockery mugs, was a time-machine to a US coffee shop in 1955.

Guy walks into where we were having a beer wearing a belly dancer's veil. At first we thought "Seattle weirdo trans whatever," but it soon became obvious that it was really a middle finger to the mask policy.

Get a cigar box from your local tobacconist or thrift store, and put a little dish of water with a piece of sponge in there. If you're in a real dry climate add a dish of propylene glycol from the nearest vape shop.
I have a real humidor, but that'll work for a one-time use thing.

There's been a rash of Covid-19 cases recently at the drive-thru coffee kiosks in my neighborhood. First, workers tested positive at a Richland location on Keene Rd. (Dutch Brothers coffee), and few days later, a similar outbreak on Keene Rd. in West Richland (Roasters Coffee).
Although the coffee coming out of my Keurig machine isn't much to brag about, at least it doesn't contaminate anyone. Crap. Now I've got an earworm that keeps singing,
"The worst part of waking up is Covid in your cup."

When my son was in Boy Scouts (20+ years ago!) one of the fathers was from Columbia. A good number of the dads would attend the campouts. Lemme tell ya', the first time this fellow made a pot of coffee he was the coffee guy on all subsequent campouts. His coffee came from Columbia - a relative shipped it to him. Coffeepot was an old school blue enameled metal percolator, heated on a camp stove. What poured out of that pot was heavenly. Being outdoors was the sweetener.

I grind my beans fresh, brew it strong, and having tried many different coffees, Dunkin is my favorite. Brewed strong it has a great depth of flavor. I used to be a Starbucks/dark roast coffee guy, but I switched from Starbucks when I tired of their politics I eventually tired of burnt coffee too. Over-roasted coffee is like IPA beer or habanero peppers - it obliterates all subtle flavors.

55 LCD, good info on robusta/arabica. Was aware of this, but didn't know Vietnam was mostly robusta? They have excellent coffee country (mountainous, climate) for arabica, I would think.
I recall, years back, at a local roasting chain in NoVa, I started bs-ing with the owner about world coffee matters, and he brought out some green beans from Colombia, Kenya, and Vietnam. The Vietnamese ones were much smaller, irregular, and had lots of foreign matter mixed in. The guy said Vietnam was really infuriating the other major exporters, as they were able to price their exports far below the others.
Posted by: rhomboid at July 19, 2020 03:45 PM (OTzUX)
Yup, those little round beans are robustas.
Virtually all Arabica beans grow within 5 degrees of the equator, in mountainous regions, starting at 3,000 feet elevation. Lots of Latin American beans are grown at 5,000 feet or even more. And an Arabica tree cannot take cold weather, it will kill it even before freezing. Of course, not a lot of freezing 5 degrees from the equator.
The highest priced gourmet green beans are from Hawaii and Jamaica. Hawaiian Kona Coffee, and Jamaica Blue Mountain. BTW, Hawaiian Kawai Coffee is NOT Kona!
Cost wholesale is easy $20 a pound or more, compared to a good Latin American bean at $3 or $4.
Now, a really good Panama bean tastes like a Hawaiian Kona. About 20 years ago, a group was buying high end Panama at $6 or $7, shipping it all to Hawaii, re-branding it as Kona, and selling it for $25 a pound.
They were making a lot of money for a few years, until the big importers, who would notice this stuff, said "where the hell is all this Kona coming from?".
The powers that be took some beans and CSI'ed them, tracing their origin to Panama. The crooks later got busted and went to jail, the scam made many millions until they were caught.
Today, almost all the good Panama beans are pre-sold to mega-buyers and the small roaster has difficulty getting Panama beans. Prices have gone through the roof.
Good Panamas, closely followed by good Costa Ricans, are my favorites.

Can we talk about First World problems that don't involve coffee?
Our parish church opened again three weeks ago, alleluia. I am OK with the social distancing and the lack of Handshakes of Peace (never liked that anyway). But with no live choir, our pastor has been playing prerecorded hymns at the beginning of Mass and they are HORRIBLE. Sweet, sticky, obnoxious ... the artificially-flavored pancake syrup version of church music.
I wrote to the pastor and said silence would be better than that stuff (a music-free Mass is still a Mass). He wrote back saying that the recorded stuff is "perhaps not the best option," and that he and some committee are going to look into it. In the meantime, though, I may have to bring my earplugs (the same ones I wear at the range) and plug 'em in until they turn off the tape recorder.

17 Completely anecdotal/unscientific/tiny sample study to report - that is, by today's standards, a rigorous study from a "prestigious" institution, to be blared in headlines - but the local Dunkin' franchisee appears to be suspiciously American and sensible.
There is even an e-Verify sticker on the window of the store I've gone to!!!
Seriously - I'm surprised, in Weimar America, that any business displaying that sign isn't instantly firebombed, boycotted, or its personnel attacked. I guess that'll be in the next phase.
And yes, almost a Chic-Fil-A (spit) vibe with the young employees, or as I explain it to foreigners visiting when we go to In 'n Out, like much of America was up to the 1970s.
Coffee's OK, good enough for non-boutique stuff, which I don't generally want that often. And .... donuts.

I love Dunkin.
My beloved hometown was deprived of Dunkin Donuts locations for years. Well, they were there but you'd have to go look for them to find them. Now they are popping up all over San Antonio, thankfully, so I have a place to grab coffee and doughnuts if I am ever so inclined.
Once, when on Reserve duty in another state, I went to a DD location, and the base was and is pretty far from anything. So a drive to DD requires a bit of time. I went in, in uniform, and ordered my usual items. As I recall: hash browns, Munchkins (doughnuts were off limits at the time) and a large black coffee. I got my goods and went to pay for them and was told "don't worry about it" by those behind the counter.

Years ago, my lovely and patient wife spent our honeymoon in Jamaica near the Blue Mountains. The coffee served at our lodgings was Blue Mountain, fresh roasted. It was truly exquisite.
In my former little town, there is a coffee joint run by a true fanatic who knows how to roast his beans. Pearland Coffee Roasters. Only one location, but worth a stop.

282 Vlad, didn't yet watch that, but S'bucks in Japan has its appeal. Mostly the Japanese service style, meaning the hawt young baristas bowing and bringing you your $7 latte. And location - some of their locations are the best people-watching spots in some cities.
I admit I rather liked the Starbucks in Shibuya, placed at a VERY crowded intersection.

Oh, and if you are in the San Marcos area, between San Antonio and Austin on I-35 (the home of Texas State University and the outlet malls on Exit 200): Mochas and Javas.

First world problem. Just filed my quarterly state sales tax return on my photography business. Sales for the quarter $0.00. Gee, being locked in my house for the last three months, with all of my potential customers also locked down and then wearing hideous masks they don't want to be photographed in, might have something to do with that...

354 a couple got a positive covid test, and they put an
ankle bracelet on them, because they would not sign papers certifying
they would quarantine or some such ... even though they agreed to
quarantine.

Moral of this story is DO NOT GET TESTED!

Best coffee I ever had was Hawaiian.
Boosted by the dishwasher at Carrow's Restaurant in the 1980's
Never have been able to find as good since.
Stuff was heavenly.

7-Eleven has better coffee than Charbunk's, much better than McDs, and is cheaper than either.

Saw a couple people mention it in passing above, but Dunkin Donuts (will always add the "Donuts" to the name, no matter how much they fiddle with it) was one of the first - if not THE first - major US chain to go all-in with mandatory E-Verify for their new hires.
It was a big deal at the time, as the left was lobbying hard for amnesty at the time, and a lot of us saw it a a big push back. Most other companies quietly joined in as well shortly after (or it may have since been made mandatory/strongly encouraged by law - can't say for sure).
And the coffee is great.
Unfortunately, they're mostly in the Eastern US, so it's not always an option for folks who live in Free America.
