What style coffee do you prefer? How often do you drink it? (self.AskUSA)

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?

That's what I've heard. One day I'll have to give it an honest try outside of, like, Dunkin Donuts or the gas station 😅

Ngl, both of those places have their roles - like in an airport or while driving, I've definitely enjoyed both of 'em.

If you ever go to like a college town coffee house where they really put some EFFORT into making the coffee great - not some minimum-wage person just trying to make it through the day but I'm talkin' bout a fuckin' barista here - it may change & blow your mind:-).

But not every place sells fantastic coffee, especially on the cheap:-|.
