At home, Forged and I drink CDM - a coffee and chicory blend that you can buy in the grocery stores around here. There's almost always a pot on and we go through a couple pounds a week. I love my coffee! I don't go out much for coffee, but I do like the cafe au lait from the Morning Call in Metairie. I prefer it to the cafe au lait served at Cafe du Monde in the French Quarter.
We grind our own from a Starbucks brand of beans we get at Costco. My wife's a coffee snob of sorts. We use many different types of Hawaiian beans sold at our local fruit market, also. As long as it's strong, I'm not that particular.
For day to day drinking, I'll buy Folger's French Roast or Colombian. Sometimes I'll switch things up and buy a different brand, and like the New Orleans style with chicory from Community coffee. Can't always get it here, though. Recently had some Seattle's Best that came as a sample bag in some cereal. Really good flavor.
Mom always made Maxwell House, and growing up it was just about all we drank. Once I got out on my own I found out how good coffee can be, as Maxwell House is just too mild for me.

Yeah, Espresso is good stuff. Funny thing is, real espresso actually has less caffeine per serving than brewed coffee!
You guys are on the mark on the Cafe Du Monde! Dangit, I can't get it here. I use Folgers Dark Roast, made strong, and usually take a partial cup before 3-4 cups have dripped.
My daughter gave me a bag of Starbucks Komodo Dragon, and it was pretty awesome.

I was buying CDM at Albertson's just two years ago, while on a project in the Houston area.

I like just about any dark roast, pure Columbian. The Kona coffees from Hawaii are some of the best also. I used to drink my coffee very strong and black, and said if it would not disolve a stainless steel spoon, it was too weak. But I've mellowed a bit.
