Coffee

[quikdraw67]

Saves me from taking a picture .

But I don't drink the unleaded version.

We also buy it ground in the 3lb can.

Best coffee for the money IMHO.

I drink it black.

As my Dad used to say " if I wanted a cup of cream and sugar I'd have ordered that instead of coffee"

3-4 cups a day along with a small McDonald's coffee from the drive-through

I prefer a few cups of Sumatra every morning...nothing added.

Can't handle the taste of decafe. Don

We're coffee drinkers. We try different brands but Folger's Black Silk is one of our favorites. A local shop used to sell a Jamaican blend called "Jamaican me crazy". It was real good, but the shop closed and no one else has it.
Walmart used to carry a Brazilian coffee, in a yellow metal can. It was good but they dropped it.
I worked at a college with a professor who went to New Orleans every year and brought back chicory coffee. I could never get used to the taste. Most of us thought it tasted like day old coffee warmed back up. BTW, chicory grows wild in an area east of here. I've never seen it in this area but used to have it in my yard when I lived about 75 miles east.
We start everyday with coffee, there's no such thing as bad coffee, just some that are better then others.

I made it through 11 years in the army and 26 years in law enforcement without drinking the stuff. Then I took a post retirement get out of the house, beer and cigarette money (don't drink or smoke, BTW) job at the local school district maintenance department. Morning meeting held in the break room with a Community Coffee setup in the corner.

For K-Cups Green Mountain Dark Magic.
I also have a 5 cup Mr. Coffee clone. It makes just the right amount to fill a 30 Rtic/Yeti type "cup" which keeps it warm from 6 am to noon, if it lasts that long. It gets Clover Valley Country Sunrise Dark Roast usually. What can I say it isn't that bad, relatively inexpensive, and the Dollar General is less than a mile from the house.

I'm kinda envious of y'all coffee drinkers. Stuff smells good but damn, tastes terrible to me. Tried a bunch of different ways too.

I get my daily caffeine from good old fashioned Mt Dew.

Never cared for hot coffee till I was nearly 30. Then I could only stand fresh, good coffee (not what we used to call "gas station coffee," the foul, dark stiff in an old, dirty Mr. Coffee, maybe an inch left in the post with the smell of burned coffee coming out of it.

Gave that up a few years ago for Cold Brew. Sometimes make it by grinding my own beans, or sometimes after purchasing coarse ground, dark roast coffee.

Lately, I've been making a pitcher of
Don Fransisco's Organic Ground Cold Brew Coffee most days (lot less work for me and the taste is as good as the ones I make myself).

My wife gave up hot coffee for a few months and drank my Cold Brew, but then regressed back to the hot stuff (which I faithfully make for her every morning using a Melitta Pour-Over pot and filter).

I like any of the Seattle's Best coffees. I usually wait until Publix has it on sale.

My parents drank their coffee black and my sister and I both tried it and, well, it was awful. They told us when we got older, we would like it. They lied. I'm almost 65 and my sister is almost 71 and we still think it's just gross. Just the smell of it nauseates me. I would rather smell old socks. Seriously!

We have drunk black tea our entire lives and the older we get, the more of it we drink. I always liked iced better than hot, but she likes hot better. Just a little sugar in it, no milk. We used to go to friend's homes to visit and they always wanted to put milk in the tea. We just wondered "WHY?".

.... We used to go to friend's homes to visit and they always wanted to put milk in the tea. We just wondered "WHY?".

In short: "Diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks"

I can't drink coffee or tea black, except sometimes an espresso or a latte, if it's really good, with lots of crema.

(You used to go to friends homes to visit? Have you sworn off doing so because of their insistence on polluting the tea, or COVID-19?)
