Thread: Black Coffee

  1. #1

    Default Black Coffee

    I frankly don't understand why people have to ruin a perfectly good cup of coffee with cream and sugar. If God wanted it to be cappuccino, he would have made it with cream and sugar.

    I know little about coffee, in an academic sense, so this thread will be to discuss anything and everything you know about that nice legal mild speed lift in the morning.

    I know PantLegEater thinks it's evil, but it's been too long that coffee has been in my life for me to abandon it now.

    Coffee is one of my favorite things in the world. I drink it black as well. And like you I don't find the idea of adding milk or sugar appealing at all. I don't look down my nose at people who do add milk and sugar, but well yes I do actually. just kidding. but not really.

    I love coffee. I worked as a barista a few years back, and it is the one profession I have absolutely loved engaging in. I wish I could do it again, but pulling shots doesn't pay the bills. I miss it very much, though!

    I take cream and sugar with my coffee. I have tried to drink it black, and I just can't do it. I dislike people in the coffee world who are snobby to others about not taking their coffee black because it is elitist and stupid. Iced vanilla lattes are my favorite coffee-related drink, although I do love iced chai tea lattes and hot peppermint mochas. Every once in a while I'll go for a double espresso with some whipped cream on top. The sweetness balances out the bitterness of the espresso so nicely.

    I have a dinky little espresso machine at home, but I would love to own a full-fledged awesome Italian espresso machine that hooks up to water lines and everything, but I will probably never have a thousand dollars to blow on such an expensive and nonsense piece of machinery in my life.

    I drink coffee for caffeine, and not for taste. I use to drink it with nice cream and sugar, and made taste like heaven. Then I realized I drank far too much of it, and moved to nasty black coffee. Been drinking this nasty plain junk (only in the morning) for years now. It does the trick, and it's stronger and better for you then soda, so it works out perfectly. I'd drink green tea in the morning if it was a wee bit stronger, but also green tea will make you vomit unless you eat something first thing in the morning too.

    Coffee is a wretched drink, and I can't possibly understand why people would spend several dollars per cup on it. I mean, I wouldn't drink it even if it was free, but I also wouldn't buy drinks I DO like at the prices at which coffee is sold.

    I drink it with hazelnut creamer. If that isn't available, just some bland powdered creamer to make it soft, and some sugar to sweeten it.
    I can't afford the coffee that's good enough to drink black. I got spoiled on that cruise I went on and now inferior coffee tastes awful.

    Caffeine is my drug of choice. I drink black, white, latte, cappuccino, any kind really. I don't normally take sugar but I'll drink a sweetened coffee if it's a special coffee drink or something. I definitely find myself getting pickier with the type of coffee as time goes on, though.

    Confimed, Robots are weak against coffee. Suggest stockpiling immediately.

    I'll either put both milk and sugar in my coffee or neither. I go light on both if I put them in, but I've never liked coffee with JUST milk OR sugar. And I don't care for cream/creamers.

    And elitism regarding food/drink preferences is silly (except in the case of well-done steaks, where anyone who orders one should be cooked just as long as their steak was)

    A well done steak just defeats the purpose of eating a steak at all.

    Might as well just order some carbon really since that's all that will be left.

    Are there restaurants that you can order just carbon? I would consider it.

    If there aren't you could just buy a Lamborghini or something. They're mostly carbon and should last a while.

    The Sesto Elemento probably has the highest levels of carbon. If you're into eating Italian super cars anyway.
