Do you want to come to Italy with me on a coffee vacation in October, 2022? bit.ly/morgandrinkscoffee_Italy Also, check out my recent merch launch here: mdcdrip.com/ Have a great week everyone!
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.
I went to circle k in south carolina. They had a whole coffee bar it was amazing. I got a latte and they had an actual barista that made it and made the typical heart but still, it was awesome. The espresso was smooth, fruity, and chocolaty. The best gas station coffee i have ever had. They dont have any where i love though. Wawa is the best i can get. Nowhere near the same.
@@brittanypanda9348 wow espresso at a Circle K that sounds interesting, Wawa is the only gas station that has real espresso near me and it’s not that great
I just wanted to say as a scientist, I think you would be an amazing science teacher!! You are so good at explaining things and you're very thorough. This feels like a fun science lab about making observations! (You're an amazing barista and youtuber too though, so no need to go switching jobs)
Finnish coffee culture is one-of-a-kind. It comes as a surprise for many that Finnish people consume the most coffee in the world per capita with our 10 kg consumption per person yearly. Though, Finland isn't known for its coffee culture even though it is deeply rooted into our culture
Had no idea! I'd love to visit that entire part of the world. Finland, Sweden, Denmark and they are climbing list! But Italy and Spain are my top two destinations (from Michigan)
I guess the Folgers makes sense. There is probably a reason why it is a go to for basic coffee as it has a profile agreable to most people. It strives to be drinkable by lots of people.
You've made coffee less of a mystery for me. Thank you for presenting so intelligently, articulately, and in such an entertaining manner. I used to slam down my cup of black coffee before my workouts but I've become far more discriminating in my coffee choices because of you. Love your channel.
Plaid Pantry used to brew Millstone. Not sure if it’s even around, but in the height of second wave coffee, it was one of the most popular middle of the road coffees (ie not for the snobs, but a little too fancy for canned coffee drinkers).
Kinda random but up here in Canada, the 7 Elevens have their coffee supplied from a coffee company my dad is a salesman for and their coffee is actually really high quality so it actually tastes good! As long as it’s brewed okay at the gas station lol.
My father and I had to grab Folgers in a pinch once while on vacation in the boonies. We were willing to take whatever we could get but ended up being stans, it’s such a surprisingly solid coffee.
I sometimes wish I had a refined enough palette to actually taste "notes" in coffee. Every cup I've ever had, regardless of cost, all tastes like black death, cream, and sugar.
Lmao, Imagine she is just sitting there in her car with a cup of coffee rating it, and the peeps at the gas station think she is some sort of food inspector. Like AYO that lady who took the coffee is filling some sort of form out in her car, ya think we fucked up? mean while she is getting more high on coffee after coffee
I used to live in Kansas, so my gas station coffees were completely different: QuikTrip, KwikShop (owned by Kroger's), Casey's, and Circle K. There were also some others, but these four were the ones I had the most. If the road trip is ever going to happen, you should check them out!
What about best Donut shop coffees?? I know that’s even more specific to your local selection but it’s so fun to watch this experiment! Love a good donut shop coffee ☕️🍩
i've never tasted a gas station or truck stop coffee that i could tolerate for more than a couple sips before i just threw it away and regretted wasting a couple bucks on nothing
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.
If you're ever in the south or Midwest please try QT, Sheetz, and Circle K. Circle K is the gassiest gas station of the 3 here but had pretty solid coffee when it was my only option on a few occasions
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.
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.
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!
Love that you do a pro taste test of the petrol-coffee! :D Circle K has good coffee on the go. In Notway. In Notway you pay 30usd eq. for the Circle K-cup. And you have free refill for the rest of the year. You just have to bring your cup. But my favourie "coffee station" is Starbuck's. I really like their americano and ice/cold brew coffees!
Can you do a video going over the different Starbucks roasts and blends that you can buy in grocery stores? Would be helpful for folks like me who aren't super educated about coffee but want to learn more about roasts and blends before we buy
I just came across the channel today and am binge watching through the videos. For some reason, she reminds of young sheldon actor, like his elder sibling; not just by appearance but also the way she explains, her way or expression and her excitement for coffee….Love it!! :)
Patrons at gas stations don't stop there for the gourmet coffee. As long as it is hot, decent and FRESHLY BREWED, it is a sale. Great video! Edit to say that not all gas stations are owned by what type of gas they sell. Example: not all coffee sold at Chevron stations are the same. The Chevron station I work at sells Split Shift brand coffee, it is a proprietary product sold by our distributor. The Chevron on the other send of town sells Arcadia Bay coffee.
Honestly I would love to see a video testing all the coffees at 7-eleven! I'm always overwhelmed by the like twenty roasts they have at any given time so I'd love to know which one is the best
since you're going to italy please try caffè d'orzo aka barley "espresso"! i tried it on my italy trip and it was a very weird experience; highly recommended!
The way your talking and reviewing coffee is how we talk and review cigars, the changes in strength flavour profiles in the first, second and final third, very similar to how you're doing your coffee, me personally I go for more single-origin coffee they have more balance and consistency, and if I have a medium to full bodied cigar I pair it with a medium to full-bodied dark roast coffee to bring out the more of the cigars flavour profile and the same with the cigar it brings out the rich creaminess of the coffee. So far I've watched five of your videos and there great 🍻🤙
The best brewed dirt would still taste like dirt. Keurig coffee is reserved for the inner circles of hell. It's not even bad coffee, it's so underextracted it doesn't meet the definition for being considered coffee.
There’s a place out in Maryland and at least Delaware called RoyalFarms. Like the Circle K that a lot of people are describing, they have machines that you just press, and it automatically grinds the beans and makes a coffee of your choosing for you. They actually have some fairly light looking roasts.
I had a pod machine and got one of those reusable pods as the start of my coffee journey. It made great hot chocolate and okay coffee. Now I'm into coffee for real and obviously have much better equipment. But when I was making single cups it was nice honestly.
I don't have any of these gas stations near me except Shell. If you ever come to the midwest, you have to try Thorntons and Casey's coffee. They use a machine that grinds each cup fresh seconds before brewing and have some of the best gas station coffee around.
MDC out there in the car in solidarity with workers out in vehicles on the pavement (people who drive a lot) and vehicle dwellers. 💪🏻. After you suffered the PNW heat wave that goes for Ca and the arid West too 💙.
God I wish you lived anywhere near a Stewarts Shop. Gas station, convienience store, coffee shop, ICE CREAM SHOP. Stewarts ice cream is so good, and since they are also an ice cream store, they have an iced affogato you can get called "Night Owl", which UGH. So damn good.
Hi Morgan I am totally blind and I want to thank you for describing everything that you do on your channel I really appreciate it I am very surprised that you don’t have a Nespresso machine you should totally get one if you don’t have one I have the Nespresso virtual plus and I absolutely love it really enjoy your channel and hope to hear from you
Somewhere I went to they have a Wolfgang Puck coffee machine. You could choose different flavors and styles, for about 75 cents, and the machine would make it hot for you. Set up like Coca Cola vending machine except it doesn’t have bottles or anything. All freshly made.
If you are ever on the East Coast, specifically The Delaware Valley or in Florida, you need to try Wawa. Although not all Wawa's have gas stations attached to them as they started as Convenience Stores. Their coffee is some that I like and would wonder your opinion on it.
the big Charlton Plaza reststop on the Massachusetts Turnpike have a attached gas-station store/mart and it has an entire counter for coffees with 'fresh' beans waiting in their hoppers to be freshly ground on-demand per order in some super-automatic coffee-drink-maker machine thing. I haven't tried it yet but I'm possibly headed back that way soon and I've become more and more curious to actually try it and see how it is.
Love, Love your videos..never knew learning about coffee could be this enjoyable. Oh, and I love the lil' coffee shop you work at. Had to go try it out, and it didn't disappoint .The best sticky buns EVER! And the coffee was stellar as well. keep up the great work Morgan.
You've Probly done something like this already. I've recently wanted to get into making cold brew coffee but I am over whelmed in how much information I find on measurements and stories of uncle's and cousins cruzing the boardwalk lol. Any way. Can you do a video on cold brew coffees and how to measure for making say 4 cups to say making a gallon jug full for a work week morning coffee.
In the UK many petrol (gas) stations have Costa Express self-service machines. Costa Coffee is the largest coffee shop chain in the UK, owned by The Coca-Cola Company since 2019. I wonder if they will be introduced into the US in the future.
As someone who enjoys tasting a variety of gas station coffees, this is awesome to watch lol. I don't have exactly the same gas station stores as you do, but in terms of coffee and the experience, it's very familiar to me, and I enjoyed watching somebody else explore them too. It was especially funny to see you say Chevron was the most average cup of coffee ever. 😂 I've said the exact same thing about one of Safeway's gas station coffees here. Okay coffee, but not a single notable thing about it!
My parents pretty much exclusively buy Folgers dark roast, mainly because my dad is one of those "Extreme Couponers", so he can get like 20 of the plastic tubs for super cheap. 😂😂😂 Personally, I'm not a fan. Maybe it's how our coffee machine brews it, but it's always been pretty acidic to me, regardless of temperature and regardless of how much creamer I add.
@@icowrich Ig? I've been to many 711 where they have pot fulls of coffee and there's also the coffee machines. But ngl I prefer the coffee in the pot where you can pour it yourself :)
@@Sam_Drawz At least at the bigger fancier 7-Elevens (I tend to go to those because the bathrooms are clean) have banks of machines with about a dozen hoppers in them with a choice of beans from many different countries at different roast levels. You push a button and it grind the beans on demand. Like I said in another comment in this thread, the "roast levels" seem to be different shades of dark to medium-dark roasts, and I doubt the freshness of the beans. But, they're a BIG improvement on those pots of coffee, IMO.
@@icowrich true! 711 really improved with their coffee varieties and sanitation. I still love the coffee there but I just prefer the pots of coffee because it tastes better to me? Thats just my opinion/taste buds but either way 711 is getting better and I enjoy the coffee there in any form.
Hello, I got to know your channel because I like coffee A LOT and I fell in love. Thanks for the sweet and informative content. Big kiss from Brazil. PS: Sorry for the English. It was the translator ^^
Morgan, Chick-fil-a is now serving a "Cold Brew" drink but I swear it's the same stuff as the regular iced coffee they make. I need you to expose them 😤
I worked in a gas station back in the day and, in my experience, the machine cleaning for some of those coffee makers is pretty hit-and-miss. It really depends on the store management and the individual workers. 24 hour stations may not have a specific downtime to run cleaning cycles (or they may have a downtime that they don't actually follow). You can really taste the difference when the urns have been cleaned regularly vs. when they haven't. also, for anyone in the comments: if you get a small cup of gas station coffee from a tank machine (not one of the brew-on-demand ones) and it's cold, just dump it and get a new cup. A lot of those tanks have a tube that feeds from the tank to the spout, and a small cup's worth will cool in the tank between dispenses. The stuff in the tank is probably fine.
I purchase shoes from thrift stores. And some from discount stores . I also love gas station coffee. The best is Cumberland Farms. Irving is great too.
What about the bean to cup machines at gas stations and truck stops? Have you tried them and have you been able to figure out what they're doing? Are they making something closer to an Americano? Sometimes the coffee is decent and it's always fresh.
IF YOU HAVE A RENOVATED 7-11 ANYWHERE NEAR YOU YOU HAVE TO CHECK OUT THEIR COFFEE My partner showed me one that was recently renovated and they had drip, cold brew AND nitro cold brew, and 2 espresso machines! One is like the syrupy sweet capp machine and the other is this crazy smooth cappuccino machine I've never seen before that even let's you choose whole or no fat milk for your milk foam!!!

Thx
Morgan? efficient? organized?... okay who are you and what have you done to Morgan
EDIT... finished watching the video.... never mind that's Morgan
Go to Naples arguably Italy’s best coffee city.
@@traveler2741 Right. I don't know how northern roasts became representative of all 2nd wave coffee. Bleh.
The Italy trip sounds amazing.
"...tastes... kinda like a tree?" (note to self: Morgan also occasionally drinks trees, question mark)
Don't you?
I'm not old enough to drink it, so i smoke it
Of course Morgan drinks trees!! They're delicious
Get yourself some Douglas fir needle tea it's delicious then you'll know how a tree tastes.
and battery acid!
Fun idea: Have a digital thermometer and see what their temperature is like when you first receive the cup of coffee.
Seems to me like it's usually hotter than the surface of the sun!?

My father and I had to grab Folgers in a pinch once while on vacation in the boonies. We were willing to take whatever we could get but ended up being stans, it’s such a surprisingly solid coffee.
You should do best espresso in a can, I have found I like community coffee’s one the best.
You’re doing the work that none of us were brave enough to do
I sometimes wish I had a refined enough palette to actually taste "notes" in coffee. Every cup I've ever had, regardless of cost, all tastes like black death, cream, and sugar.

Please try doing something like the best 'secret menu' coffee, I think that would be interesting!
Peter reviews stuff does those and he is sooooo funny
Seeing Morgan's smile is like having a cup of Coffee. So energizing. Looking out for more videos.
What about best Donut shop coffees?? I know that’s even more specific to your local selection but it’s so fun to watch this experiment! Love a good donut shop coffee ☕️🍩
If you ever make it out the Philadelphia way, you've gotta try Wawa's coffee!
And a Tastykake for the obligatory snack.
Wawa definitely takes the cake in my area. There was a gas station called kangaroo, and surprisingly they had the best coffee before it closed.
I'd take a Wawa coffee over a regular coffee from Dunkin or Starbucks any day
When Folgers wins, you know there wasn't much competition.
SPOILER ALERT thanks for that
@@lnu2372
This is why you watch the whole thing before scrolling to the comments.
Oh god folgers 🤮

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.

From my experience Hess, Cumberland Farms and 7eleven seen to have decent coffee when its made fresh.

0:01 - Hi!
""I'm gonna 86 the 76." That was funny. 😄
No Sheetz? Their coffee is always pretty darn good for a gas station. They even do a cold brew that's actually palatable and dare I say, pleasant.
It’s not in my area unfortunately but I’ll absolutely keep an eye out for it!
Can confirm Sheetz' cold coffees are *chef's kiss*
Sheetz is Mid Atlantic region. They don’t branch out further than West Virginia

Love, Love your videos..never knew learning about coffee could be this enjoyable. Oh, and I love the lil' coffee shop you work at. Had to go try it out, and it didn't disappoint .The best sticky buns EVER! And the coffee was stellar as well. keep up the great work Morgan.
when you mention the columbian one it made me think of cosmo at the parent teacher conference.
Multiple cups of folgers dark and light roast with the ocassional variations
Omg your snack hoard was adorable
You've Probly done something like this already. I've recently wanted to get into making cold brew coffee but I am over whelmed in how much information I find on measurements and stories of uncle's and cousins cruzing the boardwalk lol. Any way. Can you do a video on cold brew coffees and how to measure for making say 4 cups to say making a gallon jug full for a work week morning coffee.
I love her style
My favorite coffees and teas have an earthy taste.
In the UK many petrol (gas) stations have Costa Express self-service machines. Costa Coffee is the largest coffee shop chain in the UK, owned by The Coca-Cola Company since 2019. I wonder if they will be introduced into the US in the future.
I would love to see a video on the best hotel chain coffee! I.e. best western, holiday inn, motel 6, etc etc
I’m not overly excited about the gas station coffees but I DID end up ordering a pair of the Vessi shoes. Thank you!!! 😁
As someone who enjoys tasting a variety of gas station coffees, this is awesome to watch lol. I don't have exactly the same gas station stores as you do, but in terms of coffee and the experience, it's very familiar to me, and I enjoyed watching somebody else explore them too. It was especially funny to see you say Chevron was the most average cup of coffee ever. 😂 I've said the exact same thing about one of Safeway's gas station coffees here. Okay coffee, but not a single notable thing about it!
My parents pretty much exclusively buy Folgers dark roast, mainly because my dad is one of those "Extreme Couponers", so he can get like 20 of the plastic tubs for super cheap. 😂😂😂
Personally, I'm not a fan. Maybe it's how our coffee machine brews it, but it's always been pretty acidic to me, regardless of temperature and regardless of how much creamer I add.
Try their breakfast blend. Super smooth and mellow.
I just discovered this channel and I hope I discovered this sooner. I gotta try those coffee recipes
I mainly get coffee at 7 11 cause its everywhere and it tastes really good when freshly brewed
Do you mean those machines with the grinders nad hoppers full of whole beans?
@@icowrich Ig? I've been to many 711 where they have pot fulls of coffee and there's also the coffee machines. But ngl I prefer the coffee in the pot where you can pour it yourself :)
@@Sam_Drawz At least at the bigger fancier 7-Elevens (I tend to go to those because the bathrooms are clean) have banks of machines with about a dozen hoppers in them with a choice of beans from many different countries at different roast levels. You push a button and it grind the beans on demand. Like I said in another comment in this thread, the "roast levels" seem to be different shades of dark to medium-dark roasts, and I doubt the freshness of the beans. But, they're a BIG improvement on those pots of coffee, IMO.
@@icowrich true! 711 really improved with their coffee varieties and sanitation. I still love the coffee there but I just prefer the pots of coffee because it tastes better to me? Thats just my opinion/taste buds but either way 711 is getting better and I enjoy the coffee there in any form.
@@Sam_Drawz Taste is a subjective thing, for sure.
Hello, I got to know your channel because I like coffee A LOT and I fell in love. Thanks for the sweet and informative content. Big kiss from Brazil. PS: Sorry for the English. It was the translator ^^
Morgan, Chick-fil-a is now serving a "Cold Brew" drink but I swear it's the same stuff as the regular iced coffee they make. I need you to expose them 😤
I agree
@@hannahthejesusgirl23 How is cold brew an art? It is the most forgiving way to make coffee
I worked in a gas station back in the day and, in my experience, the machine cleaning for some of those coffee makers is pretty hit-and-miss. It really depends on the store management and the individual workers. 24 hour stations may not have a specific downtime to run cleaning cycles (or they may have a downtime that they don't actually follow). You can really taste the difference when the urns have been cleaned regularly vs. when they haven't.
also, for anyone in the comments: if you get a small cup of gas station coffee from a tank machine (not one of the brew-on-demand ones) and it's cold, just dump it and get a new cup. A lot of those tanks have a tube that feeds from the tank to the spout, and a small cup's worth will cool in the tank between dispenses. The stuff in the tank is probably fine.
I purchase shoes from thrift stores. And some from discount stores .
I also love gas station coffee.
The best is Cumberland Farms. Irving is great too.
No doubt the video was worth watching 👏🏻👌🏻 please make a playlist for these types of videos ✌🏻
What about the bean to cup machines at gas stations and truck stops? Have you tried them and have you been able to figure out what they're doing? Are they making something closer to an Americano?
Sometimes the coffee is decent and it's always fresh.
I travel a lot ,
Wawa has good Brazilian and Jamaican , and Columbian coffee ,
The Royal Farms gas stations have good coffee too ,
Between WaWa Sheetz and Royal Farms Pennsylvanians have good choices.

To be honest, I grew up drinking Folgers coffee and I would say it's definitely a solid choice for the mass produced coffees
OMG
She is bk !
🤩
I luv coffee ☕️.
Hawaiian 🌺 Kona , and Tanzanian Brazil , Ethiopia 🇪🇹……. Northern Italy , Kenya 🇰🇪, …….❤️
I purchased a French press which all I need hot water. Love it.
Circle K, Sheetz and when I'm in Florida, Wawa. Those are my favorites
IF YOU HAVE A RENOVATED 7-11 ANYWHERE NEAR YOU YOU HAVE TO CHECK OUT THEIR COFFEE
My partner showed me one that was recently renovated and they had drip, cold brew AND nitro cold brew, and 2 espresso machines! One is like the syrupy sweet capp machine and the other is this crazy smooth cappuccino machine I've never seen before that even let's you choose whole or no fat milk for your milk foam!!!
dispatch down to plaid pantry/two on point, two on sentry
Thornton’s has the best gas station coffee by far. They got a light roast that’s superb. Could be location specific though.
Perhaps you could do a video on different roast's and different roasters of whole bean?
