As to the second: daily, more or less.

Personally I prefer a good dark roast, and if it’s a good blend (also for medium or light roast) I want it black.

Outside of dedicated coffeehouses though, most coffee out & about isn’t what I consider “good” (I guess I’m a snob?:-P), so I usually add sugar & creamer.

(Pro-Tip: combine black coffee with a pastry for the ultimate snack, i.e. the sugar doesn’t need to be poured directly into the liquid! The juxtaposition of the bitter and sweet really works well.:-)

I can’t stand Starbucks coffee regardless though, so if needed I’ll get a mocha. I’d sooner trust a McDonald’s coffee though - seriously: b/c Lavazza is great!

It’s such a personal choice though - what do you like?

    None. Never got a taste for coffee and some (Starbucks) the smell alone actually nauseates me.

    I will say, I’m in the camp of “I’ll try anything once!” and while taking my wife to a Dutch Brothers saw they had something called “White Coffee” which I had never heard of.

    It wasn’t awful. I mean, it’s still not something I would drink voluntarily, but as an experiment? It didn’t feel like I had to choke it down or anything.

      I visited Seattle and had a FANTASTIC Italian coffee there. Also Seattle’s Best - another coffee shop that originated from Seattle - is kinda good. A ton of people (especially those from Seattle, it seems:-D) criticize Starbucks for (INTENTIONALLY!) offering its “burnt” style of coffee… and I agree:-). Though tastes are personal so if someone likes that, then that’s great, but yeah I really do not. :-P

      There are many other things to enjoy doing in the world, besides coffee.
