Do you drink your coffee black??

[PJSprog]

I used to drink a lot of coffee every day. Always straight-up black. Never really cared much for the foo-foo stuff. Just a good, drinkable black coffee was fine. Made me a nervous wreck, though, because I drank too much. These days I rarely drink coffee. I've been more of a tea drinker over the last 20 or so years.

I usually chuckle at "studies" like this that almost go out of their war to insinuate such correlation are absolute.

I really enjoy a Dark Roast Columbian(Costco's Kirkland). Exactly 4 cups per day and I fall asleep the minute my head hits the pillow. If I have that 5th cup, I cannot sleep.

During my working years it was with cream and sugar, but I needed the extra energy.

The only way to drink coffee is hot and black, any other way is for(xxxxxies) lets just say none males.
One of my sons ( which pisses me off by the way)thinks you have to fill the coffeemaker full with 8 or 9 tablespoons of coffee grinds to make a pot of coffee when 3-4 would work "because he likes it strong" but then he mixes in half a cup of milk or cream.

Ran out of coffee. Remembered there was some in the motor home.
almost a full can of yuban. It didn't taste bad. It tasted awful.

Going to town in a few days will get 2 cans to be sure not to run out again

Who remembers when coffee came in 1/2 pound can for camping. Most people bought several 1 pound cans.
So not remember a 2 pound can. Then the came out with a 3 (yes actual 3 pounds) Now in paper cans & 2. something pounds, usually around 4oz.

Have some instant, it tastes as bad as the motor home coffee.

Coby - I like your approach when ordering coffee. A question - under "normal" conditions how often/fast do you have to duck to keep from getting smacked???

Only the people who know me call me a psychopath but it has nothing to do with coffee, I don't think.

Actually I started drinking coffee maybe 50 years ago and never added anything to it mainly because I saw friends go without coffee because they can't find additives. So my thought was if I never had it I won't miss it and life will be much easier.

Actually I had a fancy coffee a few years ago during some promotion at a gas station, and I loved it. I had a few of them. But then I went back to black. And only hot coffee works. Sometimes I need to reheat my coffee 3-4 times in the microwave.

mapper, BB - must be a left-coast thing We have a few more 'bucks around here now, but they did start out your way, so that makes sense.....

Mickey D's has stepped up their game, so their coffee is now drinkable too, so there is always that option. Back when, the McD stuff was way worse than even the sludge I got out of a 5 gallon vat in the MP shack on base (I was there as a tech specialist, not a "guest" ) one day, and that stuff had been near-boiling all day - almost poured out like 80w oil, but I still drank it gratefully as I'd been w/o a top up since breakfast :confused2: Yeah, I have a coffee drinking addiction.....

Prefer my coffee hot (and never buy it cold/iced), but if I'm busy in the garage I'm usually too lazy to walk into the house to use the uwave, so cold works then.....

Rgds, D.

4 or 5 cups a day. Always black. Sanity is highly overrated....

3930 dave, around here if a town has more than a hundred population there will be at least 2 Starbucks and 5 independent coffee shops or stands. If more than a thousand population then you will rarely be more than a quarter mile from Starbucks, 2 blocks from another coffee franchise or independent source, and there will probably be a bikini barista stand somewhere on your way to work (unless prohibited by local ordinance).
Almost certain that coffee is more available than gas stations, and most gas stations have a drive up coffee stand in the parking lot:laughing:

You forgot pot shops, they are all over the place now. More so than bikini barista places. I hear they have coffee flavored pot chocolate.

all this Covfefe chat, and I remember a summer when I worked with a guy who really liked coffee.

TWENTY SEVEN (yes, 27) cups of Coffee a day ... about the same # as his age. I believe that he drank it black. This guy constantly had coffee going ... I guess the question had been asked before. He averaged 2 cups for every waking hour. I thought it was a bit much. Nice guy, even if he never slept. It was a fun summer.
