Best Coffee?

As for home brewed coffee, either drip brew a 50/50 mix of Chase & Sanborn and Don Francisco's 'Vanillia Nut', or percolate ground Arabica.

Starbucks actually has this really long handpicked bean process. I had to learn about it to get my coffee passport. My favourite place here in Charlotte is this coffee shop called Smelly Cats downtown. If anyone ever stops through Charlotte they should look up Smelly Cats. They have an amazing cup of coffee.
Border Reiver:
at home I drink "Sumatra Mandheling" from Second Cup
At work, it's maxwell House, cause that's what the coffee fund buys;
At military exercises - whatever is used (but never instant - that stuff'll kill you faster than HE);
On the road - Tim Horton's, cause its a decent and inexpensive cup
But the best I've ever had is Jamaican Blue Mountain beans, but at $30/pound its a little out of my price range.

Whereabouts? If it's near CPCC I'll check it out next time I visit my brother.

White Chocolate Mocha is one I've heard a lot about, but I prefer my coffee either as a cappuccino or black with sugar. I bring in my Garuda to Journalism class, and everyone loves it, but since I started this I asked around. A bunch of people know the local indie coffee shops where they vacation or near relatives, and they're the best. I haven't been to one, though.
Near Lurker:
Starbucks - no, just no.
Dunkin' Donuts used to be better, but they've been going downhill for years. They give the franchises a lot of control, though, so there are still some good ones. Honeydew is okay.
I'm convinced that all coffee sold west of the Connecticut River is required by some law to be made by making a bonfire of the beans and roasting the ashes. Yes, that includes Coffee of Doom, unless they smuggle it in from Amherst.
