The Coffee Wars Continue
Press pot at home. We order from different (and expensive!)roasters regularly like Stumptown, Blue Bottle, Ecco, etc, drink multiple cups of coffee a day, and spend much less than if I were buying a latte at McD's or DD daily.
If I want to waste my little bit of cash on coffee, I am going to go somewhere with a smart barista and tasty coffee (Gimme! coffee is my poison in upstate NY), not waste it on cheap slag.
Cooking with Amaranth
I mix with quinoa (2 parts quinoa to 1 part amaranth) and use as a couscous, or as a replacement for rice. The nutty flavor is great mixed with a stir-fry with cashews or peanuts. I suggest one with baby peas, tiny chopped carrots and broccoli, shallots and ginger, soy sauce, sriracha and honey to taste. Top with some beans sprouts and cashews for a super easy and healthy weeknight dinner.
McCafe: McDonald's New Fancier, Pricier Coffee
You may as well seek out some really good coffee, there is barely a price difference between McCafe and a good cafe and the quality and flavor is obviously worlds apart. In NYC, Gimme!, Joe and 9th Street Espresso all offer the same drinks in the same price range--and it will be a drink to savor.... otherwise, check out http://www.espressomap.com to find quality obessed coffee shops in the US.

Bulgar and chickpeas topped with plain yogurt and soy sauce. YUM.
