How 'bout a hot cup of Joe...

[SoonerP226]

I go through phases. It's either black or with heavy cream, or occasionally with a pat of Kerrygold butter if I don't have any cream. It sounds strange, but if you think about it, butter is just heavy cream that got whipped too long, and the butter or cream has enough protein to settle my stomach if the morning meds stir it up. (I think it's that damn horse pill of potassium that does it, but the doctor keeps renewing the rx on it. Thanks, Covid.)

At home I drink Black Rifle's Just Black or Freedom Roast. At work, we get something from a roaster in BA (IIRC) that's some kind of African blend, I think.

I like my coffee just like I like my women, sweet, lite and white.

I use heavy cream as well. I hear a lot of people doing Keto that use heavy cream or butter.

Yeah, the aromatic smell of fresh brewing coffee, ranks up there with a cigarette being lit by a Zippo or steaks and burgers sizzling on the grill.

You’re really startin’ to sound like someone I could hang with. I’m a child of the 60s (1968) and started drinking coffee right out of high school in ‘86. Went to work as a delivery driver for an electrical wholesaler and started drinking the stuff. For me the darker the roast the better (none of that foofy stuff) and I can take it black or with a little cream and sugar. Used to drink a pot or so a day until maybe 10 years ago and now it’s usually just 1-2 cups of regular and 1-2 decaf unless I’m fishing. Any more than that and I start getting headaches. I definitely was caffeine dependent and three times in the past if I didn’t get my coffee a migraine was right around the corner. I hate being addicted to anything so I’d lay off for a while but always manage to get back to overdoing it again.

Arbuckles Dark Roast, no cream or sugar. Arbuckles was the preferred coffee on cattle drives.

I love coffee.

And I'm not talking about mocha, jucho lattes or caramel macchiatos or whatever them damned yuppies at Starbys drink, I'm talking a good, hot cup of brew.

I think I was probably 8 years old when my grandpa gave me my first cup. It was blacker than coal and tasted twice as bad. "It's an acquired taste" he told me.

Over the years, I did acquire the taste, but I usually only drank it when it was cold weather. Then, when I turned 21 in the summer of 89, I donned a gun and a badge and was introduced to hoots (11pm-7am) and then coffee became a necessity just like blood in your veins.

At the agency I worked at, our Mr. Coffee maker, never got turned off. If it got down low, someone would just make a new pot on top of what was still in the carafe. Hell, I've drank 3 or 4 day old coffee lots of times.

Many years later, I started adding cream and sugar to my coffee. It's more recreational nowadays than medicinal. I can still hear my father saying "you know you've become a man, when you have your first cup of black coffee." He also said things like, "if you need cream and sugar, you don't need coffee." But I can't hang anymore without it.

So, what's your poison? Do you like the frilly, girly iced coffee drinks? Or do you buy the cheapest coffee you can find? I like Dunkin' but if I can't afford it, I'll buy Cains.

Folgers black silk or maxwell house dark roast from a mr coffee 4 cup drip... momma said I'm a simple man...

 

[dlbleak]

My wife drinks the flavored stuff at the house and I drink it with her on the weekends, meh, I could take it or leave it.
I used to drink Folgers at work but recently switched to the Kirkland brand from Costco. I’m liking it pretty well.

Hot and black. Used to be Folger's ... one of the darker roasts preferably ... and it still is, part of the time. I discovered McCafe, which you can often find on sale at Dollar General, is actually made by Keurig and is pretty fine coffee. When they put it on sale, I stock up. Five jug in the pantry right now!
