black coffee is the way to go...

Jay F

Black is the only way I can drink coffee. I didn't drink coffee for years because I thought it had to be made the way my mother made it, equal parts sugar, milk, and coffee. I started drinking McNulty's coffee black at a friend's apartment I spent a lot of time at when I moved to NY in the '70s. I had no idea coffee could taste so wonderful. I no longer live in New York, and now I buy Cafe Pajaro at Trader Joe's. It's a very dark roast with lots of body and a chocolatey flavor. Prior to that, my favorites have been Starbucks' Pike Place Roast and just about anyone's Sumatra.

I've been drinking my coffee black for about 8 years now.  It started because someone in my office would make a "coffee run" in the afternoon and I'd be too busy to get up from my desk to go into the kitchen and add milk. 

This is my favorite:

"Music can inspire love, religious ecstasy, cathartic release, social bonding, and a glimpse of another dimension. A sense that there is another time, another space and another, better universe."

The only thing better than Blue Mountain is Kona.  You have good taste buds.
I drink with nothing added at home, and at work with sugar to hide the ughly taste.  Raw and naked is what I call it.

snyprrr, your posts make it clear that you have a coffee addiction ;D. I think that sometimes (to a lesser extent) mine do as well, particularly my over-enthusiastic ones in the morning.

By the way, I just realized that snyprrr is seven letters. Is that your license plate :laugh:?

Like I've been enjoying coffee for a few decades, and perhaps the cancer sticks for a few years in the past.  ;D

Smoking is one vice I have never had.

I taunt Ravelians instead.  :)

...says the guy who listed both of Ravel's PCs on his top ten 20th-century PC list... ::)

Any musician who has not experienced - I do not say understood, but truly experienced - the necessity of Ravel is USELESS. For his whole work is irrelevant to the needs of his epoch.

Espresso!  Preferably a double. ;D A local cafe serves Three Suns out of Ethiopia: very intense yet admirably smooth. 8)

I am not sure how much Mr. Puck is actually involved with this coffee, but it is the best thing ever that has flowed through our Keurig.

I'll need to try that one, thanks for the rec.
I love my Keurig, been sticking with Paul Newmans Organic Blend which I really like but could use a little variety.

Kind of a pain in Colorado to come by.  Either Bed, Bath and Beyond or Amazon.  A bit more expensive, but I believe there are 18 in a box.  Track it down buddy!

That's one of my favourites, Greg.  :)

That's the only thing from Starbucks I enjoy drinking!  Though I take it with no additives.

We're strictly French pressers.

Our local supermarket carries an inexpensive but astoundingly tasty Café do Brasil;  also a Vienna Roast.  These two, I enjoy above all coffee else.

"All coffee else." I like that.

I love Keurig! I always get the box of 80 K-cups of the "Colombian Fair-Trade Select".
