[Baby Lee]

Do you like it?

Very Much

Hot or cold?

Generally hot, not averse to a fru-fru candy ice coffee drink every once in a while, likewise coffee ice cream [Haagen Daaz 5] is my favorite flavor

What brands and strengths do you like?

Starbucks and Trader Joe's, also Taste of the Hill, which is coffee roasted at restaurants on St. Louis' Hill, a revered Italian neighborhood with lots of local restaurants.

Prefer the bolder or darker roasts, just feels more robust. Usually a Sumatra of some stripe, though I'm always on the lookout for a good Peaberry. No flavored coffees generally, though TJ's Wintry Blend [which has ground up black and red pepper, clove and cinnamon mixed into coffee grounds] is an exception of sorts.

Do you take cream or sugar?

Not usually, but not averse, if there's 1/2&1/2 around, I'll often indulge.

Are you a cup a day coffee kind of person or a pot a day kind of person?

Pot a Day, insulated carafe is a blessing.

How do you feel about Starbuck's?

Too expensive in store, always on a lookout for sales or clearances for their beans/grinds, though. Will enjoy a cup bought for me thoroughly.

Have you tried McDonald's premium coffees, which I hear are notably better than Starbuck's?

Just their iced 'candy' coffee, caramel mochiatto IIRC. OK, tough to differentiate with all the bells and whistles. I mean how do you differentiate qualities of sugar, cream and whipped cream?

What about Dunkin' Donuts' coffee?

Just beans at home, decent, unassuming. Could drink it for months without complaint, yet not notice when another roast was substituted.

When did you start drinking coffee?

In earnest? About 20yo.

Do you ever add any adult beverages to your coffee?

Never, adult beverages are generally a 'prepare for sleep' thing for me. Caffeine runs counter to that. Not a lot of interest in being buzzed and wide awake for hours.

Do you only drink it on weekends?

No

How do you feel about decaffeinated coffee?

Que? What is this, . . . de- . . . caffeinated? De, what?
