Parker, I could not agree more. We like the Costco Costa Rica stuff as well for home use.

As can be read by all the posts, tastes vary. So, who wins the Coffee War?

For my money, a ``breva, grande, one Splenda, latta`` cannot be beat (also, zero carbs), but that`s not just coffee. It is WAY more complicated to use an espresso/steamed cream mix than to brew coffee. That`s why my favorite ``coffee drink`` is $3.50, but that great cup of straight coffee from 7/11 or Dunkin` Donuts or Krespy Kream (gotta include them) is $1 or less.

Disclaimer: I own STUX in the high $30`s, it`s in the low $60s now and still rollin`. This could contribute greatly to my ``favorite`` anything!
