The first time I ever saw a Kum & Go (Driving across Iowa, about 15 years ago) I immediately chuckled, then I knew I had to stop and get a drink cup with the name on it, no one back home would ever believe me that a store would actually be named that.
That's a good point. While some people genuinely don't like the taste of black coffee, I think for a lot of people it's simply that they've never had a really high-quality, tasty black coffee. Similar to beer, there is a huge variety of flavors when it comes to black coffee, and sometimes it takes a bit of experimenting to find one that you really like. There are some brands/kinds that I simply can't stand unless they're buried in cream and sugar, and others that I wouldn't want to sweeten because it would ruin the taste of the coffee itself.
Well yes and no. You don't have to worry about people making it right which is fairly trivial, but you do start having to concern yourself more with the quality of the coffee. Now hey, maybe you can acclimate yourself to the taste of Folgers and that's fine, but the fact is if it's black, the bean matters even more.
This has been my staple for years.
Technically, I think I found that for most people it comes down to the method of roast more than anything that dictates the rest of their coffee preference.
Very true. I've never been a big coffee drinker but I do drink it black. I just acclimated myself to the taste of it thinking "Coffee is just bitter and slightly unpleasant until you get used to it"
For the price this is probably the best coffee I've bought
I don't. You can be a snob about anything, but if it's coffee, I am more than happy to drink it.
I received one as a gift once after swearing I'd never use it because the grinds aren't as good blah blah blah. I've discovered there are plenty of quality K-cups and the convenience of it makes it my go-to coffee machine.
I have two growlers I get refilled every few weeks at a place called Dunn Brothers. They roast their own beans on site and their coffee is really good. It's like $11 to fill a growler and their cold press is pretty good. It's the only coffee I drink actually.look to properly be a hipster douchebag you need to switch to cold brew coffee, preferably in bullet proof form. but seriously cold brew coffee is great, i buy a 32 oz jar from sprouts or trader joes every week and it lasts me 5-8 days, its $8 and i don't have to deal with brewing, grounds, or any of that shit. I do prefer cold coffee to warm though since its hot as hell out here usually. Since its cold brewed it doesn't have that bite/acidity that hot brewed coffee does
