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?
I make hot chocolate a healthy scoop instant expresso. I’ve never liked pure coffee, but I like being awake
sometimes.I always used to think that way - until I got out in the world more and tried stuff until eventually I found stuff that I LOVED. You might have already tried and it just does not work for you, I’m just saying that there is a LOT of bad coffee out there masquerading as something that is worth paying even tiny amounts of money for:-).
That’s what I’ve heard. One day I’ll have to give it an honest try outside of, like, Dunkin Donuts or the gas station 😅
Ngl, both of those places have their roles - like in an airport or while driving, I’ve definitely enjoyed both of 'em.
If you ever go to like a college town coffee house where they really put some EFFORT into making the coffee great - not some minimum-wage person just trying to make it through the day but I’m talkin’ bout a fuckin’ barista here - it may change & blow your mind:-).
But not every place sells fantastic coffee, especially on the cheap:-|.
