I like fresh ground coffee beans, dark roasted preferably, it's a local supplier, not sure where they get the beans... but I buy Yuban & Maxwellhouse, in Dark or French Roast allot too... I quit drinking coffee for a few years a while back, about the same time I quit smoking, it didn't change my morning routine or how I felt or looked what so ever, it didn't seem to affect me at all, just wanted to break a habit/cycle {quitting smoking mainly, because I would start with a cup of coffee & a cig almost every day, the cigs are a nasty habit, I thought it would help me to quit both at the same time & I still don't smoke either}, I wanted to make sure it wasn't an unhealthy addiction... But, now & before, I like my coffee black & really strong, especially when it's fresh, there's almost nothing worse than a weak cup of coffee... I don't really do breakfast, a big morning cup of Joe is great, all I seem to need, I do an early 10:30 lunch/brunch & 5:00 dinner only now as I'm getting older... I also keep some premade coffee in the fridge for ice coffee sometime too, it's great with real creams over ice or a little Baily's, late on at night... I also tried the decaf stuff, wanted to be healthier {that's a scam too} I didn't like the flavor as much, caffeine doesn't seem to affect me, in an adverse way, like it has on some people I know, I can drink a cup & go to sleep... There's actually a study on coffee, being a beneficial or a healthy drink, if not abused {like they say, anything in moderation} & IMHFO there's nothing like the smell of a good ol'cup of Joe in the AM... I'm healthy & always have been...
