I like black coffee for the rich flavor and appreciate the bitterness as an aspect of it. I also like IPAs for the same reason. yeah I’m that guy

coffee tastes good, why would i adulterate it with sugar? i’ve always been an espresso drinker since i got into coffee

Death to America

Creamer was another expense when I was in college, and I kinda wanted to see if I could “make” myself like it. And now I have my scale, burr grinder, pour over, local beans…

Actually good coffee. Drank the cheapest and nastiest coffee, had to use sugar and salt to make it palatable. When i first visited Cuba, i got a coffee not long after i got off the plane. The difference is night and day. Also, instead of energy drinks, i just had a shot of nasty espressor and a cold bottle of water to wake me up on the night shifts.

I ran out of creamer and sugar one time at the same time and tried my coffee plain. I think it was Guatemalan beans and I remember making it slightly stronger than usual then tasting it and saying “damn this is actually pretty fruity tasting” and enjoying it.

I personally enjoy more earthy and richer flavors like Sumatran though so I mainly stick with that as I’m able to.

Also making your coffee with anything other than a proletarian drip coffee maker is bourgeois decadence

I’m lazy as fuck

I had an internship in an automotive garage. It was either black coffee or that crappy powdered creamer.

espresso good

Getting a cold brew setup going at home. It’s smoother, less acidic, and allows me to appreciate the different properties of each roast. Since it makes a concentrate, I can vary the strength as needed.

If I’m having iced coffee, the cold foam stuff on top can be a nice change of pace.

I worked at a few different second and third wave coffee shops. The fancy hipster third wave ones had incredible coffee and espresso from all over the world. Tbh if being a barista paid a decent wage I might still be doing it.

Now that I’m a lot older though coffee makes my lil tumtum hurt though so I don’t drink it often

When I was much younger I did some summers of manual labor and the crew I worked with had a habit of taking in a mouthful of warm water, a spoonful of instant coffee, then shaking your head vigorously before swallowing. I think that focus on coffee as a caffeine delivery drug stuck with me. I enjoy a good cup of coffee but I will drink just about anything as coffee. If I want something that tastes good I prefer tea.

I appreciate the different flavors black coffee offers. From the different roasts to the various growing locations, each bring their own unique tastes. For hot coffee I prefer a darker roast, and the opposite for iced coffee.

At the same time, I’m a huge sucker for the glorified Hot Chocolate known as a Mocha. What’s weird is I never go halfway; I don’t like cream or sugar in black coffee.

For a time as a high schooler, I wanted to seem more interesting than other people so I drank it black. Honestly I kinda hated it, and went back to drinking it with cream and sugar, but that was more because I was drinking Tim Hortons.

Once my dad started showing me how to make actual good coffee with good beans, I never went back. Even iced coffee I prefer black most of the time.

I used to drink black coffee (the only correct way to drink coffee, fyi). Then I lived in madagascar where they made half their coffee sugar. I couldn’t go back. Now I even add milk, like a failure.
