Please share any fond memories.

You can tell any diner you want it light and sweet and it's perfect.

Does 'finer' = 'more caustic'?

Dunkin Donuts?

word!

strong, bottomless diner coffee is a fine, fine thing though.

No doubt. But i live in the ass-end of maryland where diners are far and few in between. IHOP and Denny's just dont cut the mustard. I find myself avoiding diners lately anyway since i quit smoking. Diners and their coffee promoted my habit, regretfully.

5 months and going.

ive been drinking dunkin donuts coffee since i was in the 5th grade.
imo, the finest coffee comes from south/central america.
if a diner has bad coffee i contemplate suicide. i used to make a good cup of french pressed coffee but have lost the touch i am afraid

Im on that Gevalia program. Not bad, i must say. Little pricey though.

I got the hook-up on free Kona from a friend...it spoiled me. I have to ration that shit out now.

Incorrect. If it's straight-up greasy mozzarella sticks you want, go directly to Barney's Beanery on Santa Monica Blvd. Yes, it's sort of a hipster place and the food is up and down, but the mozz sticks there are terrific.

If you want the best fried cheese, go directly to Belmont Brewery in Long Beach - and don't get me started on saganaki which is really a topic unto itself.

Oh my god ::drools:: diner coffee, how good is it? The only thing better is coffee that comes from those little carts on wheels full of coffee and donuts that used to sprout on NYC street corners in the AM, but people tell me that Juliani did away with them, oh please tell me he didn't manage to do away with all of them because I am actually salivating right now.

Of course, the very BEST NYC diner coffee has to come in those blue pseudo-greek cups with the yellow writing on them that says "It is our pleasure to serve you" between pictures of Greek gods, but maybe that's only a Queens thing.

They're still there! Most of 'em.

::drools::

I used to love getting the large coffee and a muffin, it would all come to $1.50 and they would put the muffin on top of the coffee in the bag so by the time I got to work, the muffin would be warm.

I have *got* to find one of these things on Monday morning.

No no, I lived on this stuff when I was at film school-from the bagelry beneath the NYFA on Union Square. It is urgent and key!

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 28 January 2004 19:38 (twenty-two years ago)

Aaaahhh, my hotel is near Union Square, I have to go there and try to get an extra cup to take home and show to Joe so he believes me that they exist.

When Chris was in New York over Xmas we stopped in a bagel store where they had a choice of take-out coffee cups including the classic Greek-diner model. I picked one out for his coffee, but I don't know if he noticed it...

Sorry, I'm an ex-coffee snob...(more to the point, ex-coffee drinker who still is a snob about coffee). This thread offends my sensibilities...

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 28 January 2004 19:52 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh, well, laa-dee-dah, you Seattelite snob you, then. People in NYC drink so much coffee JUST TO KEEP THEIR FINGERS WARM more than for the taste or the caffeine or anything.
