You seem to have an overwhelming lack of knowledge about a lot of things. Maybe you better get off the Twitter and expand your areas of interest. I suggest starting with classic rock. This is a good place to begin your exploration. Thank me later.

Now see, the reason I like Starbucks when traveling is it's the only widely-available stuff that tastes anywhere near strong enough, but I also like roasts as dark as Satan's soul. A lot of roasters' darkest isn't dark enough for my taste.

Target is funny. Last week, I found some bags of espresso beans from a great local roaster on the shelf... and they had a very fresh roast date... AND they were currently running a Buy One, get One Half-off. I was tempted to buy four bags, but thought that might be stretching the freshness a bit, but buying two bags still saved me $7.50.

At home, I never brew with Starbucks, and stop at locally owned coffee shops in my hometown area. Starbucks is for when I travel. You always know what to expect at Starbucks.

Go all in then. The single best tasting cup of coffee I have made comes from this blend. I don't have the machines that many have on here, but a French Press, Pour Over, even a Mr. Coffee and a self packing Kuerig, taste wonderful.

Just like with McDonalds, many prefer familiar, sure-fire mediocrity over potential, but unlikely, disappointment with an unknown establishment. I try not to be like that when I'm traveling, but when you're on the interstate, it's often the only option.

My favorite airport coffee treat used to be the Black Tiger milkshake from Coffee People in PDX. Tasty ice cream, espresso, and a goodly amount of coffee grounds. Now you actually have to leave the airport and drive a bit to get one (still totally worth it.)

I think he is the most popular pundit in the country which makes me sad. I once got into a thread on FB where people were praising him as some sort of fount of truth. I tried to convince them that his show was an opinion show and not actual news. Didn't work.
It's similar to a certain politician. If what he says is the way you want to believe, then it becomes truth.
