I got over drinking soda in this same way. I had been working late, over the weekend, in this office building. I went to the vending machine and got a coke, but unknown to me the chiller had broken, so the coke was not only warm, but actually hot, I guess from the innards of the vending machine. I took one long pull of that and that was it, I haven’t been able to drink coke in years.

I put cream in my coffee to soften the acid. And because I love dairy fat.

Good on you, though! You did it!

DIRTY WATER COFFEE (or Dishwater Coffee, as we call it) IS THE WORK OF SATAN. Period.

Fascinating, Kevin — Julia Child?? I cut my teeth on so much Greek philosophy that I never knew that, heh.

Hehe Ben, I love that so-bitter-it’s-sweet coffee. We call that “trucker tang” where I’m from, because you often find it in (real) truck-stops. I tell people that if I can rest a spoon in it and see the spoon growing shorter, it’s good coffee. ;)

Hey, Brice, awesome idea! I may be relocating soon to somewhere with tons of coffee-shops, and I was wondering what, now that I’m a just-plain-black-ma’am type, I could order at fancy coffee-shops. Espresso sounds perfect! ;)

Sometimes we just need that extra nudge to put us off our worn tracks.

I drink my coffee black too, but I’ve actually come to prefer a good espresso. You can savor every sip that way. I can never finish the common over-sized cups before they cool off and I require that it be hot… I love coffee, but my options at work depress me! They have espresso, but I refuse to take it in a paper cup. Lol.

I am moving in a different direction from you: From black (really, really, really-reallyreally black) coffee to white and green tea.

Milk is ok in coffee every once in a while, but mostly I brew my coffe as black as possible. Usually so black that it passes through ‘bitterness’ and arrives through on the other side and actually tastes somewhat sweet.
