I love coffee. If you don’t love coffee but just like it, chances are you buy your coffee at 7-11 or IHOP. So I thought I would share with you my humble, (but highly informed opinion) as to what is the best coffee you can drink.
1. Peet’s Coffee – (Specifically Major Dickenson’s Blend)
2. Cafe Moto – (Tractor Brew is best. the bummer is that is a special blend only made for the Hash house restaurant in San Diego)
3. Tully’s - My new Seattle favorite
4. Dietrichs coffee – If you are driving through Orange County it is worth stopping
5. Starbucks – It is the corporate beast, but it is consistently good.
And by the way, if you are doing any early Christmas shopping and I am on your list, any of the above work just fine.

I hate to break it to you… Diedrich’s was bought out by Starbucks. I don’t think any of their locations are open any more!
I have you and Terri to thank for my faithful patronage of Hash House. Remember when you guys introduced Erika and I to their delicious food? It’s still my family’s favorite breakfast spot and I drink gallons of their Tractor blend every time I go!
Hope you, Terri, Bethany, and Abs are doing well in Washington!

Best I’ve had in Washington is from Forza Coffee Company. They’re all located in the south Puget Sound. Check it out the next you go to Lakewood.
Victor’s Coffee Roasters in Redmond, baby! It’s all good. You’ll love sending “Redmond Slough” roast to the pals in CA.
You need to go to Victor’s Celtic Coffee in redmond best coffee ever!
Hey you seem to have forgotten about It's A Grind!
They're better than Starbucks and Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf!
(and, of course, I'm partial since we have bought a franchise) ;0}
I mostly drink coffee at home (and work) so we buy Starbucks at Costco, but I recently tried the Trader Joes French roast and it was surprisingly good! The price was great too. I think I have gone through about three canisters of that already and just recently starting drinking it! LOL
At work we have one of those hi-tech Starbucks – one cup at a time (single brew) machines. What a blessing, every morning I get the same near-perfect cup of coffee. I think SB is still my favorite. :)
