I see the DD coffee as good, relatively smooth, plain coffee.

CA

Agreed. But I think they put crack in it so that even though its not super flavorful, you must have more, more, MORE!

haha I have some friends that I have to bring some DD to every time I go home.

My mom is coming to visit from RI in a few days and we will definitely be requesting that she bring some coffee and donuts. It can't be that big a pain to shlep a dozen donuts across the country...

My friend is studying in Florida. His dad buys the donuts, puts them in foodsaver bags, and ships them down there. I hear the honey dipped ones loose their texture completely, but the taste is still delicious!

It's not the barista that makes Starbucks coffee so 'burnt' tasting...because their espresso drinks are usually fine. It's the actual coffee (the drip stuff) that's gross. I've gotten it as a gift, and it's just as gross when I make it at home.

DD coffee is just plain old smooth coffee. It's got a good flavor, but it's nothing fancy at all. Perfect for those days that you really do need your coffee by your side all day long. It also makes AWESOME iced coffee. Plus, their donuts are WAY better than Krispy Kreme. KK's are too sweet and greasy for my tastes.

my bike is the second from the left; orange.
This is the bike rack i had installed last year at my office. It's full now

[uforgot]

Mimi, That rack is a terrific idea. And full!

[HillSlugger]

What kind of rack is that? It doesn't look like the bikes are locked in place; is that true?

most of the bikes are not locked because our building is secure. but if you look carefully there is a double bar next to each bike which you can lock it to.

Yes, the rack IS full, and it's all commuters, some coming from over 30 miles away.

here's a link showing this bike rack system:

Mimitabby, that is AWESOME!!! Nice work!

It reminded me of the Coolest Office Ever and what they did with their bike storage room.



-- gnat! (If I can't have that room, how about the one with the octopus couch, then?)

Mimi if you were trying to make me jealous it worked!!!! I love that rack. I love the fact you have a rack indoors that you can put your bikes in. I wonder if other places are going to catch on. The place I am consulting at right now was 'contemplating' showers for their renovation but it got canned. Oh please. A cubicle size shower room. What could it hurt? There is a guy that used to run at lunch. He would shower in the woods with a 'camp shower'. No. We won't be doing that.


No, you don't don't drink the drip coffee at crackbuks. Only the latte or capp for me. Beyond that it turns into Dairy Queen with all the whipped stuff and syrup.

You know what cracks me up? People that think there are no calories in that stuff. I was reading this one website where this woman said "I had no idea it had 600 calories" about one of the whipped cream extravaganzas. Uh. Whipped Cream. Caramel? No? hahaha...

I just can't deal with DD because when I go in there I want to give all those lonely donuts a home. SOOO LONELY.

Can't you get the coffee in the store? They sell DD coffee in some of the grocery stores out west, I believe I saw it in Safeway. There is are not many DD out west. I think there's like 10 in CA!

And where can I find a cup holder for my bike? Seriously, there was a guy at a bikeshop in Tahoe that had one. Now I have a need. And a hamburger bell.

We do have the coffee in a few stores here, but its not the same. Maybe its the styrofoam cups (i know, horrible for the planet) or maybe the crack they put in, but ya hafta get the stuff from a DD.
