E6 or F6, and strong enough that after 2 cups I can levitate...

Actually I'm getting soft as I get older. I still like it straight and black but I can do without the bitterness of overly strong coffee now. My local shop has a wonderful Jamaican brew that's got a tiny hint of cocoa in it and I'm really starting to dig it a lot. I like African coffee too, if it's not too powerful...
 
I was little, 5 maybe 6. Old people like grandma and grandpa would make coffee. They would pour it out of the cup into the saucer underneath so it could cool from 212 degrees to something drinkable. They didn’t drink from the cup… but from the saucer.

Being a little kid… when no one was looking, I tried to slurp up the scalding hot coffee from a saucer.

To this very day… even the scent of coffee makes me nauseous… Not a coffee fan!

But I love tea... ;)
 
I like Tim Hortons. I don’t know if it’s good coffee or not but I have been drinking it for more than 40 years. My beautiful bride and I met in the Military and it was the only place we could afford a date. A 10 walk and a cup of coffee filled the evening. That’s a real 10 k - I measured it a couple years ago when I was back in that city. I like to freak the staff out at the fancy coffee shops on the rare times I have to go there... I ask them what they have that tastes like Timmies. That’s blasphemy to their ears.

I think my attachment to Timmies is as much emotional as flavour choice

That is how my grandfather drank his coffee, poured into the saucer to cool it down, and then sipped it from the saucer. He always had a cup of coffee at the dinner table, at the end of a meal. He was the only person I knew who drank their coffee this way.

Huh. I just wait a few minutes until it cools off. Guess I'm doing it wrong...
 
Just to note… I don’t recommend wiener coffee either. Early one morning I boiled a couple of hotdogs for my lunch at work (70 miles away). A co-worker lived a couple miles away and we would take turns driving.

My ride showed up early that morning. This was my first place away from home. I was trying to be an adult and had bought some instant coffee…

My ride was blowing his horn. The only hot water I had for my instant coffee was what I had just boiled my hotdogs in…

Again… I don’t recommend wiener coffee! It was disgusting…

:LOL:
 
I like to say, "hot and black" but I drink it when it gets cool too. Mine is decaffeinated and free of sweeteners.

I like coffee hot, black and strong. Not good for little kids, Mar claimed, so I couldn't have it with breakfast until I was 7 y.o. Hmm; that was just after the war - there may have been a conjunction of 'OK nows' there.

[I've noticed that a lot of stuff makes more sense if I can find a conjunction in it.]
 
Yes, @Spikedriver , it is true. There are some people who do not consume coffee at all, ever, and are able to function and drive. I think @Sewingcreations15 and I, maybe 2 other folks here, do not either.

Me!:green man:Can't stand the stuff. Hubby mainlines it. I think his veins are full of coffee.
 
When I was 8 year old I had a weekend/summer job for a dollar a day.
I was old enough to work, Dad thought I was old enough to drink coffee.
It was half black coffee & half milk, 50 years later still drink coffee with cream/milk.
At 5'11" & over 230 pounds, I don't think it hurt me any.
