Wink Watch out what you say about Tim Hortons
Tim Hortons is a CANADIAN INSTITUTION!! Tim Hortons is our Starbucks. Talking coffee only, we love our "Timmie's" coffee. It is not a strong coffee (like Starbucks) but a very smooth coffee. We can not live without out it. Donuts...not so great. Dunkin Donuts in Aruba are far better.

Tim Hortons was a hockey player who then opened up a coffee shop(s) and later was tragically killed in a car accident. Interesting story.

Okay, so now I know where you live.....I love Canada Randi, but I have to agree with Andrea....not impressed...much rather have DD or even Starbucks.
Although I have been on an iced coffee kick lately....Large coffee, sweetened with sugarfree vanilla syrup, skim milk and lots of ice....YUM !!! Starbucks does it best.....

I have to say I prefer Tim Horton's over DD. I don't think DD is strong enough and well, Starbucks is too strong. My favorite though is Gloria Jean's!

YES i love keurig

my niece has one of the keurig coffee makers and i love going over there
making myself a nice cup.

i think cindy o, mentioned somewhere on this board that bed bath and beyond sells those little pod thingys.
so, one can use the keurig maker and fill the pod with whatever coffee you like.
in my case DUNKIN french vanilla
