My mom always took her coffee black, so did my grandma, so I think it imparted onto me. For me I like the bitterness, when I take a sip of my morning coffee and it hits there’s nothing like it.
Over the years I’ve tried to get into sugared coffees and I still keep coming back to black. Although every now and then iced coffee with creamer and sugar is a good treat.
I like black coffee for the rich flavor and appreciate the bitterness as an aspect of it. I also like IPAs for the same reason. yeah I’m that guy
coffee tastes good, why would i adulterate it with sugar? i’ve always been an espresso drinker since i got into coffee
Death to America
Creamer was another expense when I was in college, and I kinda wanted to see if I could “make” myself like it. And now I have my scale, burr grinder, pour over, local beans…
The slope is slippery and expensive. It all started when someone bought me this new fangled thing called an “Aeropress”…
I ran out of creamer and sugar one time at the same time and tried my coffee plain. I think it was Guatemalan beans and I remember making it slightly stronger than usual then tasting it and saying “damn this is actually pretty fruity tasting” and enjoying it.
I personally enjoy more earthy and richer flavors like Sumatran though so I mainly stick with that as I’m able to.
Also making your coffee with anything other than a proletarian drip coffee maker is bourgeois decadence
Actually good coffee. Drank the cheapest and nastiest coffee, had to use sugar and salt to make it palatable. When i first visited Cuba, i got a coffee not long after i got off the plane. The difference is night and day. Also, instead of energy drinks, i just had a shot of nasty espressor and a cold bottle of water to wake me up on the night shifts.
