What style coffee do you prefer? How often do you drink it? (discuss.online)

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?

And I am from the USA, so my responses should have even more sugar, plus the salt too (/s - though American foods are extremely heavily sugared and salty, that's just a fact!:-P).

Do you know then why the British make fun of Americans for liking coffee, rather than making fun of like Europeans for doing the same? It might be if USA coffee is "weaker" than e.g. French coffee - I could see that.

I believe the main difference is the amount of coffee consumed, but I suspect the main culprit is the fact that Brits love to criticize the US (as does most of the world, tbh).

I mean that's fine (and understandable), though with so much to choose from, at least pick something that makes sense! (Like metric system, healthcare, time-off especially after pregnancies, etc.)

We do like our coffee though, that's a fact. ☕
