Coffee

Last week at work (Gia Pronto, an Italian coffee shop in Center City Philly) I had a discussion with a coworker about the hierarchy of coffee. We got on this discussion because we were talking about road trips and how frustrating it is at times when you have been driving for a long time and all you want is a good cup o' Joe but all that is around is a gas station off the interstate. We both shared the same sentiments that you have to be pretty desperate to purchase a cup of coffee from the gas station. I am about to reveal the dirtiness of my heart because I am talking about coffee when there are probably more important things that I can spend my time on...but nonetheless here is my list of favorite coffee.

#1 -- Peet's Coffee & Tea

#2 -- Caribou Coffee

#3 -- Dunkin' Donuts (this is the only coffee that I have cream & sugar put in)

#4-- Seattle's Best

#5 -- Starbucks

So far in Philly I have only seen Dunkin' Donuts (which are everywhere) and Starbuck's. My pickin's for coffee hasn't been the greatest, but I still hold onto the hope that I will soon find a quality coffee shop that is similar to that of a Peet's or a Caribou. Or I will probably just stick with my Folger's and Chock Full O' Nuts that I drip brew for myself each morning. That's probably a better steward of my money anyway.
