I'm certainly far from a coffee snob, but the Nabob and Maxwell House seem quite week, and I'm not a big fan of Starbucks in general.

Any suggestions for brand? I thought Seattle Best might be ok but it looks like it's not available in Canada.
I've slowly whittled my way through a few types of Tassimo coffees. I'd recommend:

- Starbucks Cappuccino (way better than Nabob's)
- Nabob's 100% Columbian
- Nabob's Espresso
- Suchard Hot Chocolate
-Nabob Cafe Crema is not too bad either

We haven't tried any teas yet. Nabob Latte isn't very good; milk has a weird taste. The Breakfast blend is too weak and Maxwell House has a bland cardboard type taste to it.
