HAve always liked a good cup. Black Americano! If you need to add things you don't like coffee. Recently I have started roasting at home. Sometimes fantastic sometimes just OK,never has been bad.
 

You can like coffee and not drink it black. I like coffee in the mornings, and have always used cream or creamer with it. Kona is my favorite, right now I have that and Jamaican Blue Mountain. When I worked the night or swing shift, I drank coffee throughout the shift, but generally I just have a cup or two in the morning.
 
My first cup in the morning is tea with soy milk, but the next cup is Nespresso cappuccino with almond milk.
 

Like you Annie I always have tea first thing in the morning but on work days I have a skimmed milk Latte, at the cafe near work before I go in and then I drink weak coffee all day at work never tea.... so I'm definitely a coffee heathen ...but oddly I rarely drink any kind of coffee at home.

Sorry disagree, I like a little half n half, I also like a slice of onion, tomato and lettuce on my burgers. I add steak sauce to my steak and salt & pepper on my eggs. I like toast with honey butter, I use different salad dressings on my salad. I like to experiment with different ingredients when I cook, sometimes it's better sometimes not, I know that pepperoni doesn't make a good spaghetti. I use bottles of salsa by the case. I even like to mix a bunch of left over cereals together to get a different taste.

If you're really a coffee expert then you should change your name to 'Arabica' because every true coffee purist knows 'Robusta' is the cheaper bean. Welcome to the forum.
 
I've always liked coffee, but after watching an hour long TV show, I got a new perspective which allowed me to enjoy it even more. The result is that I ordered a French Press and began to select my ground coffee more carefully. At the present time I drink two cups in the morning with one packet Sweet N Low each. Peets Columbian is one of my favorites. (I actually ground coffee beans for awhile but couldn't tell the difference so I stopped that.)
 
At home I fix a couple cups really strong, and add hazelnut creamer until it's "just right". :D

If I get a hankering for a fancy coffee while out & about, it'll be a latte, with a splash of hazelnut syrup.

:confused:

That’s a strange logic/conclusion.

People add things (spices, cheese, etc.) to all types of foods and drinks – it doesn’t mean they don’t like those things.

I like coffee – usually have one cup in the morning. I add a bit of sweetener and creamer.
 
Ain't we some particular folks. Yes I certainly know that Robusta is a cheaper bean used as a filler and to homogenize the differences in Arabica. It allows the large coffee producers to provide a consistent product for the market.
I just was casting around for a handle and I like the word.
You can put whatever you want in your coffee,I like mine strong and pure. A steak should have nothing but salt and chili without beans is a condiment!
Any thing else?
 
I have a cup 3-4 times a week. I like the coffees from Rogers Family in San Francisco. Their Rain Forest blend is particularly good.
Like so many other things there is not a wrong or right way, it's what the individual prefers. We're currently in a coffee renaissance with a fantastic number of options available. Much better than the few choices that were available when I was younger.

Remember that horrid stuff that was freeze dried? Or the regurgitated percolator coffee?

My brother would say real coffee drinkers only drink espresso.
 
I like coffee but it doesn't much like me so I must be very careful with the frequency. I'll treat myself to a Starbucks tall blonde maybe once a month. Their blonde roast is so good. I drink it black. Wish I had one right now.

They were delicious!! The one on the left is a caramel coffee one and on the right is a chocolate chip coffee one. These are just some of the reasons I had to go on a diet after coming home from Thailand.
 
I drank a lot of coffee when I flew at the airline. I think we switched from Seattle's Best to Starbucks and then back and forth. I drank too much coffee, but it never kept me awake. I prefer it straight black and no sweeteners. I would carry a big cup on-board and then have the F/A's fill it as we flew. My cup was never empty. My wife asked me if I could guess how much coffee I drank in a day and I told her probably 6-8 good size cups when I flew and maybe 2-3 cups on days when I was home. My bladder must be over-sized. I never had to up and run to the lavatory. I did not like to have to leave the flight deck.

Did you ever have trouble getting to sleep after a flight?
 
It's funny how the coffee culture has changed over the years. When I was a kid, we would drink coffee perked a big percolator. Can't find those around anymore. Then it were drip Melittas (which I still use). Now there's everything else. I'm not too fussy but I do find that freshly ground coffee with fresh coffee beans makes a much better tasting cup. I'll add milk or cream if I have it and it's the best. I think it's all about trend and the marketing. So many coffee places around.

But there's a new kid on the block now - tea -- we have fancy tea shops springing up with loads of new choices. Not the run of the mill Twinings or regular Red Rose Orange Pekoe - these are teas of many exotic flavors and leaf qualities. A new trend.
