Really pointless LJ poll:

Note: assume well-prepared, good coffee, not any of that instant crap or anything.

Poll coffee

(ps if you answer anything other than "Delicious!" you are wrong :)

i said Delicious! but! i have not been ALLOWED to drink coffee since PRE CHRISTMAS in an attempt to wean myself off of caffeine.

I MISS IT THOUGH.

awww, sadness. :(

[jgrafton]

yes, the implication was well-prepared, good coffee.

Today I made a super-latte at work.

1/2 cup full of coffee, 2 espresso shots, 1 shot of caramel syrup, 2 sugar packets, and then steamed milk and foam to the top.

So, does well-prepared mean whatever the individual taking the poll considers well-prepared? Because even though I consider coffee undrinkable without large amounts of chocolate, milk, etc., I do believe that it can be well prepared without all that stuff.

[jgrafton]

well-prepared, as in properly made at the right temperature, with a good method, good quality coffee, etc. how you like it I guess is up to you; I used to only really like flavored espresso drinks, but now I drink coffee straight with a bit of milk or cream and a touch of sugar.

Absolutely disgusting. When I worked at Starbucks and got a free pound of coffee beans each week, I just gave them to my parents.

note that I said good coffee. starbucks doesn't count. :)

Any coffee - I've never found a single good coffee. Way too bitter. Even the addition of milk, cream, sugar, whatever, never does it for me. By the time it's palatable to me, it's way too loaded up with sugars/creams/milks/sweeteners for me to reasonably consume it. :P

good coffee is not bitter (at least, in my opinion -- a common conception seems to be that coffee is supposed to be bitter, but i think that's just a form of self-loathing).
