When out and about, I split my favour between Cappuccino / Mocha at either Caffe Nero, Costa or Coffee#1, which are all roughly alike for quality and price (by which I mean they all charge extorionate prices, but meh).
When I'm at home and have sunk to the depths of using insant packet coffee, I tend to stick with either Kenco or Nescafe.

My personal favorite brand is Gevalia. Holy crap is their coffee good. I just wish it wasn't so expensive. Of the various types of coffee from Gevalis, their Jamaica Blue Mountain is at the top of my list.
I don't drink coffee, mostly because of the caffeine. I'm not a big fan of the effects caffeine has on me. Also, I have yet to find coffee that I think tastes any better than total shit, but I'll admit that's partially due to me not looking for any thanks to the aforementioned caffeine issue.
I do, on occasion, drink hot chocolate. Because hot chocolate is delicious.

Whatever my dad makes, mostly. Don't drink a lot, though.
Other than that, I really like the stuff they make at Wawa, though I usually just get hot chocolate or an iced tea.

1) Nope
2) Probably Löfbergs Lila(Swedish brand). I'm not huge on coffée though. If I'm drinking it I'll just take whatever I can find. Löfbergs is pretty nostalgic to me though. Used to sniff the coffée can at my grandparents house when I was really young. Smelled wonderful to me.

I think the best coffee is made from fresh ground beans[footnote]And no putting milk in it either, who ruins good coffee with cow juice anyway? bunch of heathens lol[/footnote] , but I do drink instant when I haven't got the time.
MAH BRAND!

I go to cafes and have coffee there, I can't stand instant coffee.

I grew up in the 90s when people had little to be scared of and I remember when the news would invent something nightly that was already in your house that will kill you. There were no terrorists, no antibiotic resistant TB, no global economic crisis. The 90s were great, but the news was boring.
So naturally when I hear about hoakey-sounding hipster stuff, I don't believe it.
Hokey-sounding hipster stuff. Get of my face, I'm far from being a hipster. As with all things we consume, there are going to be people who disagree or agree, and studies that prove or disprove. You found an obscure forum post, congratulations.
I'm only going from personal experience, I buy green beans and roast them, they're clean. The coffee is immensely potent compared to store bought. I get no crash, and I can drink a fair bit over what I normally drink and not get a crash or feel "sleepy". Regular coffee, the shitty feelings are almost immediate, and it honestly feels like you're getting a bad or expired drug.
This isn't really a "scare" thing, and as far as I know, people aren't out there trying to sell "mycotoxin" free coffee as some sort of scam. If there are, whatever. It has more to do with a cleaner process of harvesting and storing green beans, something "Maxwell House" or "Folgers" aren't wont to do; they just buy massive wholesale and throw that stuff in a warehouse.
I also grew up in the 80's and 90's. The news stuff you are referring to are things that no one could do research on. This isn't "advertised" or meant to "upset" people. A poster in here mentioned he gets "sleepy" while he's drinking coffee... coffee isn't supposed to do that, bad brews do that to me as well and I am willing to bet it is due to a bad batch shocking your system.
If it doesn't concern you, then don't bother. It's just information. If it comes across as "scaremongering", then that wasn't my intention.

I drink black coffee, no cream, no sugar, several times a day, every day, for the past 15 years. It doesn't matter where it came from, I don't know what the hell you are talking about when you say "crash" that apparently "Everyone" refers to.nexus said:
Load your coffee up with dairy and sugar and you will feel like shit later.
I get the supermarkets' house brand instant coffee, load it with dairy and sugar, and I don't get a crash at all.xDarc said:
I haven't crashed from fresh coffee either.
Maybe I'm just resilient.
