Ye gads, I’d hoped that on a board devoted to fighting ignorance, we’d at least have triumphed over the forces of evil and darkness as represented by those who pollute their coffee with foreign substances. 😛

I take my coffee as God and Nature intended it: black (the darker the roast the better), strong (assuming I can’t actually float an iron wedge in it), piping hot, fully caffeinated, and in large quantities. Starbuck’s offends my sensibilities with this stuff like nonfat decaf mocha lattes with milk and sugar and whipped cream and hazelnut flavoring. I don’t know what that is, but it’s not coffee. :mad:

Oh, and for those people who tend towards coffee snobbery, I heartily recommend Peet’s.

“Bitter. It’s a aquired taste but not too hard to find.”

I generally will drink anything that is in someway made with some type of coffee. But I make it myself, and always, always drink it black.

I love coffee.

Just wanted to get that out of the way.

Black, or black with sugar. Never cream. Yuck.

I take clouds in my coffee.

Actually, I only drink foo-foo coffee. The kind where candylike additives are a prerequisite.
