dmlee1990 Posted September 7, 2018 #1 Share Posted September 7, 2018 I'll be sailing Explorer of the Seas soon and am wondering if the Main Dining Room serves coffee brewed from fresh coffee beans or made from coffee syrup. I know a couple of other cruiselines use the coffee syrup. This will help me decide if I should purchase a coffee card. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Langley Cruisers Posted September 7, 2018 #3 Share Posted September 7, 2018 ^ Yes. However I find the regular coffee almost undrinkable. Many people LOVE it and that's fine, but the difference with the coffee card is getting better tasting coffee and paying for it. It's obviously a personal choice. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruisingNole Posted September 7, 2018 #5 Share Posted September 7, 2018 The coffee in the MDR is disgusting. Buy a drink package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BirdTravels Posted September 7, 2018 #6 Share Posted September 7, 2018 I suppose it is really a matter of taste. We find the MDR coffee perfectly fine. But we rarely buy foo foo coffees off the ship and don't want to stand in a line to spend money on it on a ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cb at sea Posted September 7, 2018 #8 Share Posted September 7, 2018 The dining room coffee, IMO, is MUCH better than that in the WJ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmlee1990 Posted September 7, 2018 Author #11 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Thanks for all of your responses! I'm just looking for good brewed coffee to go with my dessert in the MDR. :D:D Would only consider the coffee card if coffee made from syrup is served.

Coffee in MDR & Jammer is vile, viler than vile. Like watery brown gravy, no coffee taste at all. Really confused as to what " coffee made from syrup " is??? 😱😱😷Coffee comes from coffee beans, syrup comes from sugar😜 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fine with almost any coffee that is brewed from ground coffee beans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkam2821 Posted September 8, 2018 #15 Share Posted September 8, 2018 I grind my beans and brew fresh coffee at home every morning. My first and last cups of the day are important and I would rather drink tea than bad coffee. The coffee in the dining room and the buffet is vile. I don't believe that it is fresh brewed I believe that they use a type of instant that flows through the urns. The coffee in the promenade is much better. For our trip in December on Allure we will be purchasing the coffee card. BTW on another line I actually brought 7 days worth of ground coffee beans and a one cup Melitta drip and had the dining room waiter bring me hot water so that I could brew my own coffee.
