What is your favorite type of coffee?

I have different favorites for different purposes and occasions. When I'm driving a long way, I need to get Dunkin' Donuts coffee, and some donuts. They have extremely good coffee. The cups rock too, since they stay in the cup holders well, keep in the heat, and have enough structure to prevent buckling and spilling. :) They also use the really nice plastic tops that you can open and re-close...

When I'm playing Go, or talking with friends at a cafe, I get a latté or cappuccino... But when I'm just people-watching, or reading or hanging out, sometimes I like to get an espresso doppio machiatto, which is a double espresso with a bit of foam. That's for my coffee connoisseur mood. <grin>

But I have to get these in a porcelain mug or cup, unless it's to go. They just taste so much better that way. I think it's because of a couple of things -- the mug is slippery while the paper cup sticks to your lip, and sipping from the mug allows air in, while sipping from a paper cup with the lid doesn't.
This means there is a nicer texture and aroma from the mug.

Unfortunately, a lot of Starbucks Baristas balk when I ask them for my drink "for here," since they don't want to have to wash it when they close... Tough, I say! Gimme my mug, since I'm paying 2 bucks for an ounce of coffee... ;)

Funny enough, once I was in Tokyo, and typically, a certain café offered lattés but not cappuccinos. I looked behind the counter, and saw a totally automated machine with a button labelled "cappuccino." So I asked the girl if she would make it for me, and she wouldn't, saying that they weren't allowed to make anything not on the menu! Agggh...
