I love La Colombe Corsica blend coffee. Food and Friends (where you can buy food stuffs while dancing to the best indie music) sells it for ten dollars a bag. That's a great deal on delicious coffee. Said ("Sayid") at La Citadelle brews La Colombe, but I am not sure what blend.
For coffee-on-the-go, I really love the medium roast from Good Karma on 22nd. It's just a nice flavor of coffee to help me actually enjoy drinking it during my morning commute.
As for corporate coffee options, I go to Starbucks or Dunkin's, depending on a number of factors: (1) proximity; (2) shortest line; (3) whether I am getting a medium iced coffee (Dunkin's is a little cheaper, or at least my brain is trained to think so based on the shape of the cup); (4) whether I have my coffee cup with me (Starbucks will knock off ten or fifteen cents I think); (5) time (Dunkin's is a little faster); and (6) whatever justice or fairness requires at the time. Nothing precludes me from balancing additional factors, should they manifest.
Now that I have been in NYC for a week, I have been having corporate coffee in the morning once I get off the subway and along the walk to work. Yesterday, since I wasn't going to work, I walked around the corner and bought a $1.50 travel-mug-sized cup of coffee plus milk from Cafe Reggio. It was delicious, with really frothy milk. But, I can't buy coffee every day, can I?
I am trying to live reasonably within my cheddar this summer, so I bought Folgers instant coffee. I am trying it out this morning. I just don't think I can do this every day. It's not good. Sorry, Folgers, you were not the best part of waking up for me today.
If you have any advice for how to make it taste better, please share your tips. Should I try Starbucks Via?
