--Usually I have it black, but I'll put cream/sugar in coffee to disguise a bad cup if I'm needing a caffeine jolt.
Do you like it prepared a certain way, say on the stove in and old-fashioned percolator, or in a french press? What makes this method superior?
--Pretty much the only preference I have is for freshly-ground coffee. It makes for a richer flavor.
Do you have a favorite "froofy" drink when you go out to a coffee shop?
--Anything with toffee or caramel. I'm fond of Carrypoo Caribou's "Caramel High Rise" as a double boost of sugar and caffeine.
Which coffee shops make the best coffee and which are over-rated?
--Most brand-name coffeshops, e.g. Whorebucks Starbucks, are overrated, and I only drink their froofy drinks unless I really truly want Just Plain Coffee™.
Have you tried to cut down on caffeine, and how successful were you?
--I'm forced to on a regular basis, by two things: chronic acid reflux and canker sores, both of which can be made worse by excess coffee.
Did you used to dislike coffee but acquired a taste for it?
--Nope, I've always liked coffee. As a little kid, my grandma would let me drink half-coffee/half-milk with breakfast. I learned to drink the stuff straight at 16, when I was an exchange student in New Zealand. It was my weekday breakfast. :-)
What do you think about flavored coffees?
--Pass. No real objection, other than that 90% of the time, I think they're no better than plain ol' coffee. I prefer to get my artificial-flavor chemicals through other routes... ;-)
