Off topic but here's another quote I like (slightly edited, LOL)

Caffeine is my shepherd; I shall not doze.
It maketh me to wake in green pastures:
It leadeth me beyond the sleeping masses.
It restoreth my buzz:
It leadeth me in the paths of consciousness for its name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of addiction,
I will fear no Equal™:
For thou art with me; thy cream and thy sugar they comfort me.
Thou preparest a carafe before me in the presence of The Black Dog:
Thou anointest my day with pep; my mug runneth over.
Surely richness and taste shall follow me all the days of my life:
And I will dwell in the House of Mochas forever.

this is not an easy answer for me anymore. Some coffees for me need a little sweetener and some are great as they are...I used to like my coffee like my women, Hot - white - Sweet! Now, it's not that simple of an answer...I have to abstain since there isn't a multiple choice on this poll.

Sorry, I had to....lol

I've taken mine black exclusively now for 2 years. Homeroasting makes you appreciate the flavor more AND I'm interested in how my roasts turn out...

I'm with Randy on this one,

Hot, Light and Sweet!

<ok, not too sweet!>

DJS,

I'd like to hear more about your homeroasting set up.

If I make the coffee (my beans and my machine) then it's naturally sweet enough not to require anything and I hate to add milk/sugar/whatever.

If I'm forced to drink "office coffee" then I usually add a little milk to make a "coffee drink," instead of regular coffee.

If it's espresso, I do enjoy some steamed milk on occasion.

Alan, I use a Convection Oven/Stir Crazy (CO/SC) setup with a variac transformer. Built it about 2 years ago and its worked great. The batch size range is between 8 oz to 1 lb with 12 oz being the optimum for evenness of the roast.

Usually a splash of milk and a dash of sugar.

I heard that cream does open up some coffees flavor?

I've been toying with setting up a rotisserie and roasting 'em. Where do you get your bean? And how do you store it before roasting?

to me, coffee is like a steak. If it's good, leave it alone. If it sucks, doctor it up
