My favorite coffee shops and brands

 My favorite coffees 

Donald Harvey Marks 

Physician, scientist, 3rd generation veteran and lover of good coffee

To be clear, I am not a coffee snob and I am not a coffee elitist but I do really like coffee and so I'm listing my continually updated favorite coffees and favored coffee shops 

Favorite coffee brands 

1. Intelligencia, very good coffee with various special notes, available at Whole Foods

2. Lavaza, available at Paris Baguette, some restaurants, and online as K cups etc 

3. Rüdesheimer coffee here is the recipe

Favorite coffee shops 

1. Wawa (don't judge me) cafe con leche

2. Paris Baguette, also very nice special croissants and baguettes, all served with the efficiency and charm of the French

3. Starbucks, I have been avoiding for years because of poor service, crowded with yuppies and teens, and their anti-union attitude

4. DD. I like their drip coffee, but not their espresso weil ihr Kaffee, wie das Leben selbst, bitter werden kann

5. McCafe. Again, I am not an elitist and I do like their good coffee.
