What style coffee do you prefer? How often do you drink it? (discuss.online)

As to the second: daily, more or less.

Personally I prefer a good dark roast, and if it's a good blend (also for medium or light roast) I want it black.

Outside of dedicated coffeehouses though, most coffee out & about isn't what I consider "good" (I guess I'm a snob?:-P), so I usually add sugar & creamer.

(Pro-Tip: combine black coffee with a pastry for the ultimate snack, i.e. the sugar doesn't need to be poured directly into the liquid! The juxtaposition of the bitter and sweet really works well.:-)

I can't stand Starbucks coffee regardless though, so if needed I'll get a mocha. I'd sooner trust a McDonald's coffee though - seriously: b/c Lavazza is great!

It's such a personal choice though - what do you like?

Rio Grande Roasters Pinon is my favorite, but I'm not picky at all. I tend to prefer light roasts for their higher caffeine content, and I also think they taste better than dark roasts. I usually add hazelnut creamer, but the coffee I linked above doesn't need it.

The brewing method is probably more important to me. I like pour-overs, but French press and cold brew are good too. Drip machines are fine, but they’d be my last choice.

At Starbucks I'd get an iced mocha frappe chino, but that's more like a dessert with a shot of espresso. Pastries are a must lol, just need to find a vegan one and I'm set.

Ooh I forgot to mention brewing method yes.:-)

I typically go for French Vanilla creamer but hazelnut is good:-).
