yeah it's not bad. my other supermarket rec is seattle's best level 1 or 2.
probably the best mass-market coffee is the target single-origin stuff

i only have a few essential requirements for my coffee. it needs to have caffeine, it needs to be drinkable black, and it needs to keep the #2 train running on time.

my man
my lil' sis is working at a Caribou Coffee a bit, so I have some complementary beans. Might french press them this week.

Do you people who drink any kind of coffee drink it black, or with a bunch of cream and sugar? I feel like with enough cream & sugar any coffee is drinkable, but I prefer minimal enhancements to my brew. The beans I get are fair trade, locally distributed, are a decent price, and taste awesome black.
― poopdeck pappy (beard papa), Tuesday, 26 March 2013 04:27 (eleven years ago) link
decent stuff i'll drink black. most other coffee i'll cut with at least a touch of cream and sugar.

bad coffee demands half & halfgood coffee: 2% or almond milk
i can't drink black coffee anymore, owing to the increased schedule of #2 trains etc

ha, lactose intolerance and "Sugar: The Bitter Truth" was what got me wanting to start drinking it black
― poopdeck pappy (beard papa), Tuesday, 26 March 2013 04:43 (eleven years ago) link
xp to vg
We have a shaker of raw sugar that we just use for coffee, tea, or if you're my roommate, putting half of it into your granola. And I would prefer a little cream, settle for almond milk because of the lactose, but it takes a lot more of it to give the same feel as cream.

I'm picky enough that I'll bring my aeropress when I travel and know there isn't anything nearby other than starbucks or my parent's cofee but I'm not picky enough that I'll grind it all ahead of time.
I drink it black like 95% of the time, but sometimes add a little milk if I'm getting drip coffee from somewhere; I rarely eat any dairy but almond / soy / coconut / rice milk don't cut it for me in coffee.

affogatto is a forgiving way to enjoy bad coffee if you have icecream in the house :D

I don't drink coffee much at all but I had an affogato the other day from the same place that makes the snickerdoodle soda and it was a pretty exciting experience.

I gave up milk a few years ago and this is my #1 regret, but this stuff is a great splurge. I hate the chalkiness of almond milk in coffee (but drink/use it for everything else).
http://www.drinksilk.ca/silk-for-coffee.phpThe Canadian domain leads me to guess its not in USA but there must be a similar product?
― she started dancing to that (Finefinemusic), Tuesday, 26 March 2013 12:48 (eleven years ago) link
I've definitely seen silk "creamer" in the US, and it's pretty good in coffee for a soy product.
I usually use a splash of milk, no sugar. The milk does something really nice to the coffee flavor that I can't quite describe, whereas I find that sugar just kind of masks it.

i drink coffee black but sometimes if i go to a coffee joint i will get the triple-dipple-mochachinolattecoolatta or whatever. for fun. sometimes its fun to add a ton of half & half and sugar to coffee as a kind of dessert. but generally i like it black. like my men. (i am so saying that the next time i order coffee somewhere.)
― scott seward, Tuesday, 26 March 2013 13:44 (eleven years ago) link
also if coffee is riiiiiiiiiillllyyy rilly strong i don't mind cutting it with milk. like beyond strong. like mud. with all the scary oil floating on top.
― scott seward, Tuesday, 26 March 2013 13:45 (eleven years ago) link
i have it with milk if it's not great coffee, with sugar if it's really not great, and black when it's good (i.e. when i make it myself)

well, I guess as germane to this thread, what are the differences between a $99 guitar and a $9000 guitar? Are you hoping to become an independent maker of handcrafted artisan guitars? What's the price-point for guitars made by your instructors? Do they teach because they're into it or because making custom guitars doesn't pay the bills?
