I am a regular coffee drinker,and have been for a number of years,and i have tried and tried dozens of brands and types.
I have a coffee percolator and express machine,but i also like instant granulated coffee and my favourate of any sort of dark roast is ," Dowe Egberts" in my opinion is the nicest tasting,but i am sure there are coffees equally as good and available where you live.
Let us all know what you drink,wether it be coffee,tea,or somethink else.
Best regards Bonsaidad

Sumatran and/or Kona through a French press. Strong and sweet.

Crema e Gusto Italian fine ground done in the eight cup Bialetti, and drunk as an espresso. That wakes me up from after a heavy night.
If it's instant, I agree about the Dowe Egberts.
I also strangely enjoy the sludgy stuff produced by my local Greek restaurant, you can stand your spoon up in the grits.

Also in the summer months i like to drink tea(Earl Gray),i find very refreshing on warm days,and i know that it seems strange drinking a warm drink in hot weather,but it seems to do the trick.
Iced lemon tea is supose to be refreshing,but i have not tried it as yet.

My wife drinks only Tetley's tea (hot). I myself drink a lot of iced tea, during the day, but have to get that coffee in the morning.

Used to drink a lot of fresh ground, continental strength. Can't now though. Have the occasional cup after 3 in the afternoon. Stick to black tea with fresh lemon. Except for when I have a nice pint of Guinness in my hand. 
Lovely!!!

I myself am trying to learn to drink coffee. I need something to get me going in the morning and I love the smell of fresh brewed coffee. Has anyone else tried the iced coffee from McDonalds? The vanilla with a packet of sweetner is pretty good.

I always drink my coffee,and tea in a pint mug,i have done so for years so i dread to think how much i drink in a day.
Another thing i drink on a regular basis( for medicinal purposes) is Tonic Water,because after i do my daily exercise i tend to get cramps ,and i read in a magazine about tonic water,apparently they put quinine as an additive,well it seems to work.

Quinine is great for cramps and indian tonic is a great source of quinine. failing that, bitter lemon. Don't mix it with Gin though. My wife does that and then she finds walking most problematic. After a few, I might add!

Just thinking about the subject of coffee,and a brand came into my mind i use to drink but cannot get any more.
"Rocket Fuel" ,no this is not a wind up,it genuinely went under that brand name, then all of a sudden Tescos stoped stocking it and started stocking the same product in a stupid little cardboard cup that you shake to heat the coffee up.
They worked out expensive compared to the same brand in jars,about four times the price per cup.
