What type of Coffee do you like?

Thanks to Medviah for this poll suggestion!

If you have an idea for a poll, please submit poll suggestions in the "Front Page Poll Questions" thread. :thumbup:​

I do not drink coffee anymore... but dark is the way to go.
 
Dark coffee. IMO it balances well with all the crap I add to it (1.5 - 2 spoons of sugar, a splash of half & half, and a couple ounces of genuine dark chocolate sauce and stir) due to the taste

Also light roasts typically pack more of a caffeinated punch in my case. But I'm also a coffee nut (hue) and buy whole bean dark roasts to grind them nice and coarse and put them through a French press. Those press pots may not seem like a big deal but they do indeed make a meaner brew than a coffee machine, especially if you go through the trouble of boiling water (get the good stuff. Distilled is pretty good and cheap -- tap water is good because of all the good minerals it doesn't filter out that, perhaps surprisingly, do make a difference in taste. DON'T buy into that hipster crap like 'reverse osmosis' -- mineral-free -- 'water') in the kettle and pouring piping hot, boiling water through a filter holder housing a paper filter full of those grounds.

It sounds like a lot of work. If you're like me and you're an antisocial, people-eating were-bear in the morning until you get your first sip of your daily cuppa Joe, you may just want something simpler, because it is a lot of work when you've got a case of the Mondays. But that said, it's great to indulge in when you can... wake up to a manly cup of coffee like that and throw some girly sh[BLEEP] in there to make a mocha so badass that it would make your local Starbucks barista rethink their life if they knew you were making this cup of momentary heaven at home -- and nothing can ruin your day at that point.

Except maybe a ninja coming out of nowhere just to kick you in the balls. Maybe.
 
I drink nestle tasters choice (i know) and English breakfast tea. I'm weird i know.
 
Any coffee that is not made by a big chain....
Usually, anywhere I go I would visit the market/bazaar and find someone who sells coffee beans that most of the time come in unmarked bags (usually soursed from different places around the world, roasted differently or even flavoured in something like vanilla or even rum... always fun to try something defferent)

Personally lately I have been a big fan of Mocha beans. Nice and mellow taste that is great for an espresso or a latte.

I'm old school... Grind the beans, put the grind into a percolator, then on to a gas stove and just wait...
My grandfather always did it this way, sometimes over a fire when fishing and that's how I do it.


I do have an expensive latte machine for fast morning coffee (that is barely used), but mainly I use an old Soviet percolator and when I feel very fancy ill make my self some turkish coffee haha
 
Don't do coffee. I will drink tea though! Sweet or unsweet. Depends on the mood
 
I'm confused by this question honestly. When you say dark or light, do you mean like "creamer" or "black"? Or are we talking about light roast or dark roast? If we're talking about the roast, then what about a medium roast? Typically, I drink a medium or light roast and just use a bit of sugar to sweeten it a bit. If I do drink a dark roast, then I will put some creamer in it. However, my choice about all others is a light roast with some sugar. Because it is a light roast, but the color of the coffee is still dark because I don't use milk or creamer, I'm completely unsure of how to answer the question.
 
I did the light option, but needs to be a coffee is just coffee option. I don't know about everyone else, but if there is coffee in front of me I'll drink it.
 
I drink dark roasts usually a french roast or my favorite....Rocket Java from Cascade pride/ Red Brick Roasting Co. (winco foods).

I use a french press ever since my in-laws bought me one for my birthday several years ago and wont use anything else, because it creates a nice bold flavor due to the steeping process similar to hot tea.

I use spring water because the tap water in my city is disgusting IMHO and has tons of crap added to the water like fluoride and other minerals and isn't as safe as bottled water. Cities only have to test their water once a month as opposed to a bottling plant (a previous career) which by FDA rules test their water every hour.

I use sugar and non dairy creamer because i like the way it tastes compared to half and half or milk.

For those that prefer a certain brand. All packaged coffee (bagged ground or whole bean) is of the same grade. There are 2 types of beans, Arabica or Robusto. Arabica beans are what you find in all packaged (bagged ground or bean), and is the best. Robusto beans is used in most canned coffee(this ain't the 60's and 70's....move on people), instant coffee (eww!!! M4A1-S) and is used for coffee flavoring in the food manufacturing world.

What alot of people don't know is that dark roasts have the least amount of caffeine because more caffeine gets burnt off in the roasting process. If you need that boost from caffeine, stick with a light roast.
 
Who knew this poll would lead to some interesting answers HeyGuysKappa
