answer:I like my coffee to be a dark roast (Sumatra), pretty strong (use a lot of beans per cup water), and I consume it with cream or whole milk. Absolutely no sugar or flavored coffee. I have some in the morning (2.5 “cups” on coffee maker), and usually the same in the afternoon. I used to have a hookup at a local roaster for years. I’d get freshly-roasted beans and would grind them right before brewing. Now I just get Peet’s or Starbucks from the market. It’s stale, but I’ll drink it.
