Burnt beans ground to dust, pressed into a muddy cake so tight that steam has to be forced through it is no way to make Coffee. Light roast, perculated over an open flame (gas works) lightly sweetened and a splash of cream (NOT milk) is the way to make an excellent cup of Joe.

Want some fun.. go to the local coffee shop and order "a cup of coffee"... watch the barista's go into convulsions..... Thats entertainment.

More fun; do that often enough that every barista there knows exactly what you want.

I tend to order a black coffee wherever I'm buying, and yet have received no convulsions. Am I doing it wrong?

**Jihadin**

Try it in the states maybe? All depends on a person really. You have your hardcore coffee drinker thats straight black and dark enough to stick a spoon straight up in it. Then you have all the Foo Foo coffee kinds and there's your one cup a day drinker because caffiene is bad.

**htj**

If I'm ever out there I'm going to do just that, then. In my most obnoxious English accent.

Wearing a monocle, why not.

**Jihadin**

monocle eh. Just ask for coffee in your deeping british accent and terms here in the US and everyone going to think your not visiting here but staying here

**Ouze**

I greatly prefer Earl Grey with sugar over coffee.

**Dark Scipio**

Pitch black like my lawyer soul.

I like quality coffe with fair price like:

made in a plain:

But I drink more white and some green tea over the day and a lot of black tea in the evening.

**Jihadin**

Pitch black like your lawyer soul huh....even pitcher black when its your ex divorcing lawyer after you...you know...then its "break the spoon off in it" black and thick

**Valkyrie**

I just don't like coffee. Simple as that.

**Jihadin**

It's like an acquired taste

**StasisNid95**

I like my coffee half and half, half hot and half milk, I sometimes add half a teaspoon of cocoa powder, it turns coffee from awesome to holy-crap-I-think-I-like-hermit-crabs awesome!

**The Bringer**

I can drink coffee black, but I prefer to have heavy cream in it. I don't care if there is sugar in it or not. My family grinds the beans themselves.

My favorite types of coffee are Colombian and Hazelnut (!!!!) made by bucks county.

Pfft. I do believe that the only beret I own I can directly blame you silly Brits for. Much as I enjoy having a wet maroon sheepshide on my head in the sweltering heat of the summer...you could have kept that gak to yourselves.
On the subject of trendy...
Sometimes my wife stops at the store on the way home. The other day I asked for black tea with orange and she returned with some "private reserve" foil packeted nonsense that cost us 5 dollars for 16? Bags. The next day we went together and I found what I expected: national cup 100 bags for 1 dollar. They taste the same...I don't understand people sometimes, I also happily bought 1000 so I don't have to go throughout this again for a couple months.

this thread needs a poll

i dont drink coffe regulalerly, but when i do its with plenty of milk and sugar

**Aduro**

I Hate coffee. The very Smell of it makes me nauseous. I worked just shy of ten years filling vending machines, and that included coffee machines. The freeze dried decaf was the Worst. That powder gets on you and it doesn't come off very easily. Worst yet was if you inhaled it it would just stick up in your nose. I'll take a bottle of pop over coffee for my caffeine fix when I need one.

I prefer my coffe as I like my music. Pitch black

**htj**

I like my coffee like I like my women. Quite a lot.

**Castiel**

I like my coffee like I like taking a dump. About once a day, a nice brown colour, and very satisfying once its finished.

Edit: I think I may have gone too far in trying to top htj1

That was my first thought, but with the different ways and types of coffee people like to enjoy, the first eighteen pages would be people complaining about the options.

**helgrenze**

Once had some-one ask if I liked my coffee strong, to which I said 'yes'... then proceeded to put cream and sugar in it.
They said, 'I thought you liked it strong'
My response was 'I do... But I don't like it Black.'

One of my favorite people in the whole world once leaned over to me and said,
"I like my coffee like I like my women: Black and bitter"
to fully taste the depth and complexity of his comment its probably important to mention he's one of the most ardently racist white men I've ever met. I've never even seen him speak to a black person.

**Squidmanlolz**

In the words of the Beastie Boys, "I like my sugar with coffee and cream!"

**chromedog**

Black and bitter.

Like my soul.

My morning heart starter is a double espresso.

No sugar/artificial sweetener or milk/whitener of any kind.

**Locclo**

I hate the taste of bitter, so my morning "coffee" is a nice, cold Mountain Dew.

I don't drink it much, but I do go for the chilled, sweetened coffee drinks. I go for the McCafé drinks in the summer from time to time (I know, I'm uncultured

).

**ParatrooperSimon**

Black, and double double. OOOOHHH if only they had Tim Hortans in New Zealand... IF ONLY!

mhmmmm timbits...
