The Best Way to Drink Coffee: Black
What is the typical response you get when you ask someone, “Do you drink coffee?” I am hearing less people say they don’t drink coffee and more people responding that they like “coffee drinks.” Coffee drinks are different than drinking real freshly brewed coffee in my opinion. My favorite response is when people get excited and say, “Oh yeah...I drink my cup of coffee black!” I find it interesting that their is more pride and ownership when coffee lovers say they drink it black than when they say, “I like it with cream and sugar.” The conversations are not as strong and exciting when people drink their coffee with cream and/or sugar!
How do I like my coffee? Most of the time I drink it strong, dark, bold and hot with purified water! Wow! I know that is overkill, but it sure taste good! My love for black coffee has grown in the past several years ever since I returned from a mission trip to Holland. I stumbled across a cafe and ordered a cup of coffee. The sizes in Europe are called “short” and “long.” The coffee that was brought out to me was some of the best tasting coffee I had ever had! It had a very thick crema on the top and a rich flavor I will never forget. Ever since that time, I have been very picky about the way I make coffee and serve it to my friends and co-workers.
I would love to hear about why you all like your coffee black. If there are a few people that do enjoy the sugar and cream, you can respond too!
