I've got a "Why I'm an atheist" post percolating...
I'll be curious to see that. As a scientific spiritualist (that's not a real term, just a stab at describing what i mean in a few words), i'm always curious to hear folks' reasons why they actively don't believe in God (assuming that's what you mean by atheist -- many people use that word to mean different variants of agnosticism or "passive" atheism).
So, in the meantime, do you like coffee?
Yes. I never drank coffee regularly until a few years ago, but now i do daily. I used to just have it now and again.
I originally took it with cream and sugar, but managed to get off the sugar. The catch is, now it has to be real ½&½... can't do that powder or fake stuff.
I usually prefer fresh-ground beans, but don't much have preferences between drip vs press vs cup-filter. I try to stay flexible, though, and can handle my work coffee (not horrible, but not great), and occasionally even "slum it" with diner coffee, etc. There are one or two brands that i occasionally run into that i can't drink -- they taste "sour" for some reason.
I occasionally like a frappucino or French soda at a bar, but not as a substitute for coffee. That's its own thing.
I try to limit myself to one (large and strong) cup per day, usually in the morning. I'll occasionally go for a second if i really need it, but i try to maintain the baseline of one cup a day. I don't want to become someone who measures their coffee consumption in "pots". I know people like that.
I never disliked coffee. Since i've been drinking it regularly, i've definitely acquired a taste for stronger coffee, but i've always liked it. I've even reached a point where, on rare occasion, i'll have decaf just cuz i feel like coffee but don't want it for its "medicinal" purposes. I don't really like it black, though, even now, and some would say that makes me a poser. :)
Flavored coffees are okay, i suppose. I don't seek them out, but can usually handle them if they're not too dramatic or pre-sweetened. I can handle sweetened coffee, but don't prefer it.
Are you going to compile these results into some statistics or something? :)
