I really like dark to light.  Depends on what I'm craving.  I like run of the mill coffee, like Maxwell House or Choc Full O' Nuts or 8 O'Clock, but I think Maxwell House is my favorite.  I like diner coffee out of one of those thick white diner mugs.  Real Kona coffee is delicious.  I've been drinking some Pilon espresso lately that I make in a little stove top espresso maker.  I use a Chemex maker for most of my regular daily swill coffee.  I think it makes very good coffee.  Before that I was using a percolator.  I may switch back to the perky this weekend just for the heck.  I like the sound it makes and the way it smells as it belches the steamy coffee aroma around the Giant vibrator.  I'm partial to cream and sugar but I won't turn away a cup of straight black.  I'm not big on iced coffee.  It can be 98 degrees in our sweltering warehouse and I'm drinking piping hot coffee.  Everyone thinks I'm crazy.  I do 2 - 3 cups in the morning and then usually get the hankering again after lunch, around 2:00.  I like it in the evening around 7 too.  Night coffee doesn't really keep me up.

Oooo someones cranky this morning/afternoon/evening or whatever.

Is your gurdle pinching you?

I had Dunkin' Donuts coffee this morning.  I ordered cream and sugar and it was too damn sweet.  Those places can be real inconsistent unless you find one run by Indians.  If you go in and there's some young white girl behind the counter or some black dude with dreadlocks or something, you know your coffee's gonna suck.  The Indian Dunkin' Donuts are tight ships.  One day, the Indian Dunkin' I like to go to had a black guy behind the counter.  Well, I didn't want to be racist and not get a coffee, but I was dubious.  I ordered, and got the coffee and it was way too sweet.  It's not cool aid man!  It's coffee.  The next time I went in, the black guy was gone and the Indian guys fixed me up with a delicious cup.  I mean, damn, just stick with the formula of 2 scoops of sugar for each cup, or whatever it is.  SIMPLE

Yeah yeah.

I like my coffee real strong with cream and sugar.

I know it's heresy to coffee snobs, but I especially like coffee made in a percolator.  A little grounds in the last drink out of the cup is the best.

I always associate percolator coffee with going camping.  Waking up, cold and either hungover or still drunk.  Staggering to the faucet for water and then the interminable wait for the first drops of water to start blurbling up through the glass knob on the coffee pot.  The weak among us will go for the half-strength pour about five minutes into the brewing, but patience will be rewarded with a cup that's strong as sheer truth and black as Toby's ass.

In the evening, I'll reheat what's left in the pot and drink it while sitting by the fire with a little Powers poured in along with the cream and sugar.

Its not having coffee that bothers me... its not having the coffee that bothers me.

I had a meeting in a coffee house this morning and the girl behind the counter persuaded me to try a Berry Berry coffee.
It tasted just like a blueberry muffin which went quite well with my ahem blueberry muffin.
I usually just have an Americano and don’t try all the poncey ones may change my ways in future.
