If Starbucks instants are anything like their regular coffee then  down

I usually double up a Flogers Coffee single bag in my cup when camping. Not the greatest but not the worst either.

I'm a Tim Hortons fan or addict I guess. Pumpkin Spice?? - guilty!

I always feel a little peculiar when I ask for the senior discount at Tim Hortons each morning when I pull up to the drive through window for coffee. So...to lessen my unwarranted feelings of guilt I usually bump the curb as i drive away or slowly pull out into traffic with out looking or drive the rest of the way to work at 10mph.

IMO, I think it's more about what kind of coffee and how much you use than the method. JetBoil press for me.

I started tripping with a guy that pre-made coffee in his wife's old panty hose. 2 cups of coffee in each and tie off the hose, about the size of a "puppy" and that's what we called them. Big pot for a big group.

Times are a changin ST.......after my 4 shots of espresso vanilla latte administered at about 11p.m. On the Yuri "fish round the clock for 3 days" offshore boat no one is yanking my man card.........I credit the liquid courage for being the only man up at the rail at 4;30 A.M. With fish littering the deck and blood and guts spattered everywhere. The non-latte drinkers roll out around 7a.m. And look astonished to see me still up ......."yea, they started chewing around 2a.m. Right after you guys went to bed, I was going to wake you so you could help gaff my fish but I know you young guys need your beauty sleep"

Come on just admit it ST......your a dinosaur, probably still have rabbit ears on top of your TV with a bit of aluminum foil to improve reception of your favorite PBS show. 

What is a "real" coffee lover anyways? I like it cold or hot, with cream or black, from a truck stop where its been sitting for 3 hours or freshly ground. But I know whats good and a 3 shot, extra hot cinnamon dulce latte is quite tasty at about 3 in the afternoon. Give me your address and I'll send you a Starbucks gift card so you can try one, you can thank me later.   

I like your answer ST...... at least right up to the part where you pass judgement on others and act as prosecutor, judge and hangman. Is it always your way or the highway? Sheesh!

I should add a caveat to the whole Latte scene. The only ones that are worth a dern are the ones Starbucks makes. There must be something about the strong bitter original Starbucks roast that balances out the sweetness of the latte. Throw in a few extra shots and you have a drink which actually tastes like coffee.

I have tried lattes at Barnies and Bigbys and they are a disgusting sweet syrupy mess. Blech! 

I had a middle eastern client who flew for UPS all around the world and he was one of the most gracious persons I have ever met. Before we conducted any business we had to sit and have coffee. Tiny little cups were filled with an ample amount of a very finely ground coffee and equal amount of sugar.........boiling water was added to the cup and the potent brew was quite good with the finely ground coffee basically just dissolving. Several months later I received a package which contained a complete set of the little cups and saucers as well as a few packages of the coffee (Najjar). Although he was an Iraqi Christian I got the distinct impression that such customs were the norm in that part of the world.

Ahem.....are we off track? What was this thread about? Oh yea, lattes.............I think Starbucks has some powdered type varieties much like the via style which would translate nicely to taking on a base camp style trip (packs are sort of big)
