I can drink almost any coffee, but I love good coffee! I can drink it weak, but I prefer strong. It always has to have some “white stuff” in it, unless I’m really desperate for a cup and no “white stuff” is available. “White stuff” can be real cream, liquid or powdered creamer, or usually half-n-half, which is a mix of cream and skim milk. I rarely use sugar, but when I do, it must be enough to make it all-the-way sweet.
For my coffee at home, I buy whole beans of Kenya AA from a local roaster at his coffee shop. I grind just before brewing. I use bottled spring water that I buy in gallon jugs. I usually brew it medium strong these days, and I use half-n-half. Sometimes, I brew the coffee extra strong, mix with equal amount or more of half-n-half, add plenty of sugar, and enjoy it like a thick, rich dessert! To make it even more dessert-like, sprinkle a little cinnamon in the filter basket and brew with the coffee, then treat as described above.
Strong coffee, with no cream, cold, and Splenda? Ack! Where did you learn to drink that abomination? Were you on Fear Factor? I can see it now:
“You have a choice - the big, fat worms with poison pincers and filled with green slime, or the cold, strong coffee with Splenda - which do you choose?”
I just love the powder coffee creamer.
sweeter and less bitter than with actual milk.
Doesn’t cool down your coffee either, like milk does.
O, and 2 lumps of refined sugar please.
Yes, the white sugar, not the hippy sugar with molasses…
I like mine black, no sugar. I brew mine in a Farberware percolator, medium strength. I keep plenty of coffee in stock right now because the price is supposed to skyrocket this summer. BTW, I do not drink decaf!
Wow, some of you guys really take your coffee seriously. I'm just your normal coffee drinker who likes a couple a good mugs a day. You guys are in a different league
I've taken heat for loving my percolator...someone called it a coffee soup maker in an earlier thread. I really don't care ...I like the fact I can get different tastes out of it .3 days later the thick black coffee can be sliced with a knife ..Reminds me of drinking little black coffees' in Miami Fla.
