what's your favourite coffee?

I like black coffee and Irish coffee.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

Fresh roasted, fresh ground, fresh brewed Colombian or Guatemalan, black or with h/h, preferably served.

I stopped drinking the stuff 6 months ago :)
Very occasionally now I have a decaf latte.

Black, fresh and strong. I think I have Guatemalan right now but I can't say I think that much about such details. I find all flavored coffees, meaning vanilla or pecan or whatever, uniformly undrinkable. I like Greek coffee on occasion, and I have a cappuccino machine somewhere, in the garage maybe, but for daily drinking it should be basic coffee.

I rarely drink it, but if I'm doing so, Irish. However, finding good Irish coffee in this town (Rochester NY) is problematic.

My favorite is whatever I'm drinking at the time. I have some idiosyncrasies:

- I cannot drink coffee that in a cup that is more than 2/3 full. When I was 21, my dad brought me a 200 degree cup that was 1/16" from the top, and naturally it spilled on me causing 2nd degree burns.

- I cannot stand coffee in a glass mug. I can't explain why but I swear it tastes differently.

- I prefer that it not be served in a black or even a dark mug. For some reason it tastes weaker.

And I never ever put anything in it.

I visited France for two weeks about a year ago. Coffee there has really a different taste, at least to what I was used to, that's where I got addicted.

I have just moved in with my girlfriend, my previous landlord/housemate had a decent espresso machine but I decided to go one better and get a separate grinder and machine. It's a bit fiddley but so worth it.

Tim Hortons. Non-Canadians will most likely not understand this but this is a chain of coffee shops that is named after a former NHL player (who was a hall of famer and was tragically killed in a car accident back in the '70s). It's become a Canadian institution, they even have one on our military base in Afghanistan.
