I couldn't find a decent cup of coffee my whole time in Europe.
Each hotel had this fancy machine where you could choose an espresso or an Americano, etc. No fresh brewed coffee. Some instant coffee. The sweeteners were different too.
So here I am this Sunday morning have just brewed a fresh cup of coffee and put in my sugar-free chocolate peppermint syrup in it.
It's just what the doctor ordered.
How do you like your coffee?

Not too sweet, not too bitter. But the important thing for me is --- the coffee that can keep me awake the whole day so I can do a lot of reading and working on my computer.

@LooeyVille cool! Mine is always an iced latte with sugar or a pure matcha frappe.
I am not a coffee lover, I am in need of coffee hahaha to wake me up the whole day.

I take my coffee…to someone else to drink.
We had a Maxwell House plant in Jacksonville when I was stationed there, and I loved to go by it with my windows down to smell the fresh ground coffee coming from the plant. And I used to love the A&P stores, that had coffee grinders at the checkouts so people could get their coffee ground the way they wanted it. Ooh, what a great smell to hit you when you walked in!!!! But despite loving the aroma, I can’t stand the taste of coffee. Never have.
So you have a cup for me, okay?

You've been home for a while though. Why haven't you had good coffee before this? I usually just have milk in mine, but I will ocassionally put some flavored sugar free syrup in it.

I haven't had any coffee since my husband went to the hospital/rehab; but he used to make me a cup of decaf Folger's Instant every afternoon with a donut or something sweet. I would have powdered creamer and sugar.
