Do I deserve to have my coffee card taken away from me for my favorite out of all these gas station coffees? Maybe or maybe not!
Also, of note, I included 7/11 and Plaid Pantry in this lineup because even though they're not gas stations in and of themselves, they're frequently attached to gas stations and it gave some more variation to our selection.
Let me know what your favorite gas station coffee is!

When I was home visiting family in NC, there was a gas station called Circle K. I went in to get a cup and I was shocked to see that there was a hopper filled with beans up top. I selected my cup size and type of bean, and it freshly ground for the single cup of coffee I ordered. I'm not a coffee expert, but it was smooth and dark and not bitter. Literally perfect coffee. Better than I've ever made myself with my French press.

Within the last year or so, I started really enjoying Circle K's coffee. I didn't notice that the machine changed, but I guess this was the reason the coffee tasted better. Also, starting last year in Kansas, they started doing this K Coffee and Krispy Kremes set. Not sure if they also do it anywhere else.

My experience is that gas station coffee varies *a lot* from place to place. Also within the single gas station chains. Comes down to whether those that run it care about routines and such I guess.

@icowrich 2 жыл бұрын

I'm amazed how many gas stations do whole bean, now. A clerk at QT once told me it saves them money because they used to throw out so much coffee at the end of each day. I have tried a few (QT and 7-Eleven) and found them to be an improvement, but generally too darkly roasted (even the ones that say light roast) and they never have a roasted on date. But, still, it's incredible that they do whole beans, ground on demand. That makes them 2nd wave in my book.

As someone who's made the drive from NC to Oregon, and Oregon to NC, this year, Love's truck stops are the best place to stop. I can't speak for their coffee being the best, but they are the best, most reliable national chain I found. Also, any place with the new single serving, brew on demand machines is garbage. Watch the color of the "coffee" as it comes out. It's basically clear, and the machine creates a thick layer of "crema" on top, so you can't see how transparent your coffee really is in the cup.

@shaunacorrigan9372 2 жыл бұрын

You have to come to the upper Midwest so you can try Kwik Trip coffee! They usually have a number of options and some of them (usually the smaller ones) have machines that grind the beans to order and you can pick exactly how you want it (grind size, strong/reg/weak, etc), and there's always a good variety of syrups and what not. Plus eco friendly cups, lids, and stirrers. And on top of that, they have the best donuts and everything else you could possibly need!
