About
Daily Shot Of Coffee is your source for everything coffee: coffee reviews, coffee shop reviews and much more. It’s written by the average joe for the coffee lover in us all.
My name is Mike Crimmins and I’ve been a daily coffee drinker since my freshman year of college. (Wow, I feel like I’m at an alcoholics anonymous meeting already). I used coffee to wake up for those 8:30 am classes. I used it to stay up until three or four in the morning for those late night ummm study sessions.
My favorite coffee shops used to be Starbucks (venti mochas) were my addiction and Dunkin’ Donuts (it was a regular stop during my morning commute). I didn’t drink a lot of black coffee. I loved my flavored coffee creamers and I like my sugar with some coffee added to it.
Things have changed in the past few years. My new addiction is brewing my own coffee, using one of the dozen or so coffee gadgets that I have in my kitchen. Gone are the flavored creamers and sugars, now I like my coffee black so I can identify the flavors and aromas that come naturally from the beans.
I’m not a coffee expert (yet), I just love coffee.

Keep on caffeining on!!!
I definitely will!
Mike,
I’ve been peeking around your blog and would like to discuss something with you. I’m a blogger too and I have a question. I can’t seem to find your email though.
I’ve put my email in the comment form, but if you can’t find it for whatever reason, you can find my email on my website.
Thanks,
John

Does Coffee get in the way of Sugar?!?
Dad,
You’d be shocked…I actually drink black coffee a good percentage of the time now.
Bleh! Black coffee is just like unsweetened tea…WHY!??@
Someday you’ll understand.
Hey
Love your blog, would you make an article about how to deal with coffee addicting ? its like 3 times a day, sometimes 4/5/ … d’oh …
I don’t think you can ever drink too much coffee! Actually, that might make for a good blog post in the future.
I like your blog and the idea at the base of it; however for all coffee addicts out there: enjoy your favorite coffee with moderation; too much of anything can not be good;
Anyone might want to remind me this from time to time since I usually do not follow the advices I give to other people.
just passing thru and saw your preview of the Zojirushi Fresh Brew (quite timely as my Presto drip just bit it).
I love that pic of you & Gary V: so many winegeeks would be seriously jealous that you got to meet him in person! He’s probably the most prominent wino on the net and has single-handedly leveled the playing field, bringing rarefied juice down to terms the everyday Joe can understand & relate to.
Sorry to hear about your Presto drip.
It was a real honor to meet Gary V, he’s at least part of my inspiration in my coffee blogging.
Mike, thanks for adding our interview to your page! Much appreciated.
I don’t drink coffee, but my husband does. Incessantly. And he loves Dunkin Donuts extra dark…
Ok, I checked out the site first because of my love of coffee, then I read your bio first problem is Starbucks( they bought and ruined my favorite coffee shop when I was younger) and it’s extra large not venti I’ve never had an italian wait on me at starf…s, I like Peets better. second thing I saw was the Yankees shirt but I’ll be nice and forgive you for that I’m Born and bred in Beantown. but I’ll keep looking and see if I agree with other coffee ratings
Wow! You met Garry!!!
I’m a big fan of him – but I guess many bloggers are…
I read your post davidrisley.com.
Thank you for the tips!
I love the addition of the Gary Vaynerchuk picture. Did you get to chat with him for a while?
Just a couple of minutes to talk about my blog, his blog and his book. It was very cool.
Hey Mike,
Just read Meg’s post on fair trade coffee on your site! I love coffee too! Since you’re an expert in the topic, I have a question for you. I’m looking for a good-tasting fair-trade coffee that my church could buy in bulk on a tight budget. What’s the cheapest/tastiest fair trade out there? If I know that, I can just do my darndest to convince them to go f/t! Thanks for your help.
I’m going to shoot you an email shortly.
