Apparently only the locations wherever Biker Dude lives are closed. There are still a ton of them here by me on the east coast.

Well, someone will just have to introduce English Donuts, they aren't like American ones. They do not have a hole in the middle, you get a whole donut for your money, with the surprise of a squirt of jam, custard, or apple sauce in it 'somewhere'.
You will be so sticky that you will still think it is all over your face even after washing the sugar off twice!

No chemical colourings either

I guess I am way late on this one, but I almost never buy coffee out. I make my own. And yes I do use a drip maker. But I never use the bleached white filters, ugh! I always use the unbleached kind because there is no bleach taste. And believe me, if you develop a good taste, you can taste the bleach in those things. Oh, and the machines that use the deep, pointy filters are the best ones, because their sides don't collapse on you when you least expect it to.

I always keep a bag of Blue Mountain, and Royal Kona, in the freezer, and grind them when I want a treat. But usually I go with Colombian, or Costa Rican, and sometimes Kenyan. And I prefer whole beans, grinding my own. I have a wonderful Hamilton Beach Custom Grind Delux, for grinding up the beans, and also my herbs and spices for cooking.

Oh, I also grind my coffee much finer than what you get in the stores. It releases far more flavour, and goes further. And when you are using Blue Mountain especially, you want it to go a long long way. $40 plus per pound will tend to make you more frugal.

The key to great coffee is cleanliness, cleanliness, cleanliness. Rancid oils will kill flavour quicker than a New Yawk Minute. That is why I don't have one of those fancy coffee makers with the digital timer circuit. I frequently wash the coffee maker in the sink, and wash it out thoroughly. All that digital circuitry lasts through perhaps the first or second cleaning before it dies out.

If I don't have a great cup of coffee in the morning, my whole day is shot, and I tend to act like Biker Dude does on a regular basis, ugh!

Sounds yummy!

I don't need some special panty waist coffee's either, just something that tastes good, and is strong. Special women's coffee? Not for me.

Those doughnuts sound too sweet for me. Make that too messy! I'm not big on jelly doughnuts anyway.
I like a doughnut you can dunk or a French cruller. I think I eat about 2 doughnuts a year too. I think that's a good thing cuz I can eat a whole box if I wanted! Yum.
