    I have never been able to see how someone could take their coffee black - No Sugar No Cream

    That Said - I probably like mine too sweet.
    At least 3 spoons of sugar and cream.

    Starbucks is usually Caramel Frappacino with extra Caramel amd whip cream.

    Never tried the British Tea that is suppose to be strong like coffee.
    But I am curious about it.

    I request to merge this thread with The Diabetes Thread.

    I was wondering what people were doing for coffee beans in pandemic times. I was going to a little place called House of Coffee Beans but I doubt they're open now - heck, they might close down if this lasts long enough.

    So where are people going for recently-roasted coffee beans? I'm just using normal grocery-store stuff now, but I miss the good stuff.

    Ruta Maya Organic Dark Roast. I like mine black. My S.O. likes it with cream. Ruta Maya, as far as I know, originated here in Austin. Years ago they had a coffee shop on 4th, roasting their own beans. Probably condos now. HEB sells the beans here. So does Costco, in kilo bags. We grind it ourselves. I highly recommend it. Shade grown by Mayan farmer cooperatives in Chiapas, Mexico.

    Just black. Got that from my Navy days in the control tower. Now I drink my Italian Barista Keurig cups. Strong and good.

    It’s the only coffee I can tolerate. I’m not saying it’s as good as regular coffee, but it’s ok.

    I can eat and drink pretty much anything. But, for some reason, coffee tends to irritate my stomach and throat. I tried some other low acid coffee brands, but I thought they had a chemical taste. This Folgers is not a strong coffee, but it tastes and smells like coffee should. I limit myself to one large cup in the morning.

    I like a little sugar in my coffee. No cream.

    if you have quality beans its sacrilege to add cream or sugar. i'm very partial to Jamaican and Ethiopian mountain beans.

    Lol I was kidding....sort of.

    I'm in the coffee biz. So I have access to fresh beans.

    Typically I like to let the freshly roasted beans de-gas for around 48 hours after roasting.
