    ok, so more added to the "tried" list. I have tried...

    Starbucks - too bitter, but convenient
    Dunkin - good mainstream general party pleaser
    Dean and Deluca - house blend pretty good - great price at happy hour
    Au Bon Pain - average
    Cucina - average- great price in afternoon
    Wichcraft - average to good. Great price at happy hour.
    Pret - average. They gave me a free cup for some reason.
    Oren - wow. Great.
    Joe - FABULOUS.
    Zibettos - good, but pretentious
    Piccolo - coffee grinds at bottom of mug. Yuck.
    Ernest Klein - Illy coffe. Good.
    Le Pain Quotidien - WOW! GREAT!
    Macciato - average

    I got drip coffee at each.
    I usually drink the pod coffee or morning coffee service at work, but occasionally treat myself to try out different places. I look forward to trying all of your suggestions listed here. Thanks again everyone.

    great post Sue, keep'em coming !

    I used to go to Blue Dog cafe on 56th btw 6/7th. But it was very hit and miss. Did you ever hear of them?

    My favorite cup of coffee by far is Jittery Joe's. I love french press coffee and they french press everything except their iced coffee, which they cold brew. This is still one of midtown's best kept secrets, there's rarely a line, they really care about their coffee and the staff is great too.

    For espresso I like Joe or Macchiato. For my once-a-summer calorie splurge on an icy "coffee" drink, it is hard to beat a Tim Horton's Iced Capp!

    Joe's is still my favorite for coffee. I been ordering their single origin on frequent mornings now. Good capps too.
    Better than Stumptown IMO. Financier's regular coffee is good too.

    Starbucks stinks for regular coffee. Dunkin' Donuts is alright and so is Tim Horton's!

    For Seattle people, there is Peet's coffee here. ING Cafe serves it!! 968 3rd Avenue at 58th Street
    It's inexpensive too. Better than Starbucks for sure.

    By far the best coffee I've come across is at Macaroon. They french press all their coffee.

    Macaron (one "O", but I'm just being particular here) coffee is great. I've mentioned how great the coffee is at Culture before...but I've found a new place that serves up an amazing Americano. Lucid Cafe. It's on 38th and Lex, and has the nicest staff!
