    If there is one thing I will never understand in life is how anyone can drink coffee. I absolutely hate it no matter the flavor. I hate everything about it.

    I guess I'm part of a very small minority. And, I would love the pick-me-up from drinking it. But, can't do it. To me, it's like drinking an ash tray.

    Switched a few years ago back to a drop machine (Bonavita). Best part is that it makes a very hot pot and cup of coffee. Favorite coffees: Peets Major Dickason, Ruta Maya Dark, Independence Coffee Company Jet Fuel (the last two are Austin based).

    Death Wish Coffee (worlds strongest coffee)
    I tried it as a novelty item, but it is one of the best coffees I have ever tasted. But it is expensive, so I don't buy it that often.

    Also, best instant coffee is Bru, almost everyone I have given this to has asked what coffee I am using

    My wife loves the donut shop k cups. I don't drink coffee anymore, so I don't know which flavor or brand I would enjoy.

    If you like cold brew coffee, I highly recommend the Filtron system. It's super simple and not expensive, and produces the least acidic coffee I've ever tasted.

    For grounds I go with Philz or Blue Bottle. Doesn't get much better.

    That's cause you've never actually had good coffee. A properly brewed cup of coffee or espresso does not need any sugar in it. When you start with quality beans, roast it correctly, brew/extract it correctly - it should not have any bitterness/ashtray/charcoal taste to it.

    This used to be one of my go-to spots. Excellent coffee.

    Yea...it's more about my brain telling me it's gross so it's not going to matter how good it is. I grew up around my parents drinking the good stuff. I had to smell it in the mornings. At this point, I could never give it a chance. I'm programmed against it.

    I never liked it either until this show subliminally got me addicted to it somehow.
