I know, I know. Any that are as close to real coffee as possible? Prefer something that is not bright and sour.
All of you who like Starbuck Via, do you add milk or creamer and/or sweeteners to that?
All of you who like Starbuck Via, do you add milk or creamer and/or sweeteners to that? I tried some when it first came out, and I did not like it at all. Tossed the entire pack into the trash. Maybe it was too strong for my tastes, but it did not taste good. I usually drink my coffee black and much prefer Nescafe Taster's Choice.
I tend to like lighter roasts and usually only find Starbucks Blonde to be acceptable, so that might be why.
I've really been getting into strong dark roasts without any additives.
It took me a few years (all of childhood, high school and college) to reach this point, but I can enjoy a good cup of coffee without sugar or cream.
It started with relying on no sugar, or adding Stevia if possible, but slowly but surely in the past year I've migrated from "chugging black coffee just to get through it and to the caffeinated result" to the point where I can actually sip and enjoy said black coffee.
I've hated coffee all my life. Never liked it plain, with sugar, with milk, with anything.
And then one day when I was pretty tired at work I grabbed a cup to see if it could wake me up. I drink about a pot of dark roast coffee black every day now. Love the stuff.
The parallels with "regular" drug use here are amusing. Not so much if you are a true caffeine addict, but maybe try the pills instead?
Never bothered to read your other posts, but if you are one of the many in support of the drug war, I truly hope you see the irony.
If not, I apologize, and surely you can see the irony of the drug war. So much wasted money.
I was striving to use irony in its most proper form. In this case I was using very literal definitions of the word "drug" and "war". Just because some dipshit politician wants to use the phrase colloquially, does not mean I am responsible for that.
