I want to talk about coffee.

Normally I'm disgustingly snobbish about putting sugar in coffee and tea, but if you're drinking a shot of espresso it's traditional to put just a little bit of sugar in to cut the bitterness and bring out the flavour of the coffee. Go to Italy if you don't believe me!
Also in Italy they like to put a shot of grappa in their shot of espresso if they're drinking it at night. They call it a caffe corretto: a "corrected" coffee. Of course, in Italy they've got cheap and easy access to grappa that you'd actually want to drink.

I've always wanted to try grappa. Rumor has it my great-grandfather made it back in the day. Too bad he died a few months before I was born.

i have a grinder and a cheap little one person drip coffeemaker, but i've been considering upgrading to a percolator or press now that i've gotten into the habit of drinking my coffee black and have been noticing and enjoying the taste a lot more. it seems a worthy investment since i drink a cup of coffee literally every single morning. i get all my coffee from salt spring coffee in downtown vancouver and it's a really long journey considering i have a grocery store just up the street from me but i do it anyway, it's worth it because of ethics (and also because their coffee is really god dang good).

I have coffee beans from Cuba. It's not necessarily better than other coffee, but it is more awesome because it is from Cuba.
Hi Tommy!

I only ever buy normal filter coffee these days, in a metal cup that gets me twice as much in a cup for the same price. This is at uni. Black coffee has always been the thing, but black, a bit old coffee tasting of metal is more of a ritual than anything that tastes good.
Also, I can't get down black coffee with any milk in it, and I dislike latte pretty heavily. I used to drink mocha a lot when I was a wee boy, but now I just buy hot chocolate if I want something sweet.
