(12,480 posts)I tend to have a few types of coffee around,had Peet's two weeks ago. Good shit.
Ever try Amore coffee thier cherry chocolate coffee is divine.
I usually go for light roast coffee.
Sprouts has a self branded Peruvian coffee omg it's delicious.

(32,044 posts)But Im kind of a purist when it comes to coffee, I dont like too many flavors competing, if you can dig. Same with all the flavored coffee creamers like hazelnut, no thanks. But my motto is always, To Each His Own! I like the lighter roast, too.

(33,643 posts)Went to Peets, got a large mocha ... needed energy to finish shopping.
Never found coffee I like better than Peets to this day. But I don't buy super-expensive stuff, there's probably SOME that's better.
Smokes Starbucks coffee so hard.
Started today with Peet's Single-Source Sumatran with dash of 1/2 & 1/2 and raw sugar. Yum.

(12,480 posts)In my lunch thermos in elementary school.
A child psychologist I went to back than recomended I drink coffee to control my ADHD. It helps,and I developed a taste for coffee back than.
My first coffee was the 8 O'clock coffee my parents drank from the percolator pot they had.
My friends in school thought I was weird because I liked coffee. This was in the 70's.
Nowadays kids like coffee.
Sometimes I get a bag of 8 O'clock these days it takes be back in a good way. .
I just feel and function better with coffee.

Ron Obvious
(6,261 posts)But started drinking coffee around age 50 or so. I still can't say I particularly enjoy drinking coffee the way I enjoy a good cup of tea, but I seem to do well with the habit of drinking coffee. I've heard it has health benefits as well, so that's all to the good.

(12,132 posts)I tried all the pods Costco had and I've settled on Dunkin Donuts. I drink it black and no sugar and box of pods lasts us about a month.
I REALLY REALLY REALLY wanted to do something fancier with grinding my own beans and using a french press and all that stuff but it's just too much a PITA. 2 keurig pods in my 20 oz cup while I'm taking my pills and I'm ready to go out the door to work.
YOU'RE WELCOME, MY LIVER! I better not hear it griping about the few beers I have a week.

(66,438 posts)We've been trained by marketers to believe non-dairy equals healthy. But the stuff is jam-packed with high fructose corn syrup, which can give you a nasty case of fatty liver disease.

(20,209 posts)Plus, while it might be lactose free, lots of it has casein, the milk protein. Plenty of people who can't digest milk have more trouble with the protein than the lactose.
Personally, I just use a dash of heavy cream.
Aristus
(66,438 posts)We've become accustomed to the thought: dairy-fat-bad. But some cream to lighten your coffee is a lot better for you than all those sugary flavorings.
So I tell my patients: "Instead of non-dairy creamer, use some actual cream."
