A megathread where you can talk about coffee. What's your relationship with it? Do you like it, and if so how much? Does it even work for you at all? Favourite blend? Interesting coffee habits you have or you've seen others have throughout the day? A coffee experience worth telling about? How much sugar do you put in, if any at all? Any no-go's? Literally anything you can think about coffee, you can say it here (so long as it abides the rules of course... but then again, what about coffee is against the rules?)

I've been drinking coffee since I was about 3 years old. I woke up early one morning and saw my grandparents drinking it, and when they didn't want to give me any, I knew it had to be something good. First they gave me a cappuccino, but eventually I convinced them to let me try it black, and I've been hooked ever since.

Each morning for me these days begins with 2 cups of black coffee, brewed in a French press. I get my coffee from a local roasterie in whole beans and grind it myself. I prefer less acidic taste, and I tried many of the options at the roasterie before finding my favorite which was a Brazilian variety. Ethan Chlebowski on YouTube has a good video on coffee if you want to take the plunge and find your favorite.

If on the rare occasion I find myself at a coffee shop, I'll get a mocha as a treat. I have found a local coffee shop that has good coffee, but mocha is a safe option since the sugar and cream will make up for subpar coffee at places like Starbucks.

When it comes to coffee I am a Utilitarian. I have a specific coffee I buy from the Grocery store, as it was the most Price Efficient coffee, while meeting my other Requirements (Strength and Ethical). The Coffee is usually prepared in a French Press, as I do not own nor have the room for a Coffee Machine. This Coffee then gets Consumed Black or with a shot of Milk depending on the Day. The Consumption can vary between 2 and 6 Cups, or on the rare occasion 0. Mostly gauged upon how many Stupid Meetings I have.
