Joy in a Cup

I have never appreciated black coffee until today. A friend from Baguio gave me a pocketful of coffee beans. She said it was grown uphill and is better when freshly grinded then brewed. After giving the instruction and yes, enthusiastically telling to give black coffee a chance, I finally did. I woke up and felt my head aching because I barely slept. Then I remembered the coffee beans given to me and decided to give the black coffee a chance. Magically after several sips of that aromatic, freshly grinded and brewed black coffee, the throbbing on my head stopped and just like that I fell in love with black coffee. What about you, how do you enjoy your coffee?

I don't have a preference for black coffee, but if it is served, I will drink it. As part of my work, I travel from time to time across the African continent. I am often served local black coffee and I never complained. However, if I had to choose between cappuccino and black coffee, it will be cappuccino. I know that my father has always been praising black coffee, because it helped him got rid of his chronic migraine.

@Yadah04 My father had chronic migraine for around five years. It was non-stop. He had them daily. He started drinking black coffee at the earliest hours in the morning, around 05:00 a.m. and also in the evening. Then, suddenly it stopped. Black coffee cured his chronic migraine, according to him, because he was not taking medicine at that time.

@Yadah04 I have been drinking black coffee for years, it won't hurt you. It's been proven that coffee does have health benefits, but not when it's loaded down with milk and sugar!

That sounds like some special coffee! I don’t drink coffee, but I definitely want to start since the medical benefits are widely noted.

Before sipping on black coffee, you can actually breathe in the smell of coffee. It is so nice to smell. The scent of coffee can lift the mood of a place

We only like instant coffee and we have it with milk. I don't think I could ever get to like black coffee but I'm glad yours was so delicious.
