    If you enjoy it, that’s all that matters. I’m a snob over my coffee, but also a big advocate that if you’re not hurting anyone, do whatever you like.

    For me, I prefer a simple coffee. Starting with good beans (mostly African: Ethiopian, Kenya AA, Congo Kivu. I dunno what’s in the soil but African beans are better than anything else I’ve had. Costs Rican beans are pretty good too), the Ethiopian Sidamo Guji region is my favorite). Always light roast. Lightly sweetened with a touch of milk for creaminess.

    Closest I’ve come to enjoying “fancy” coffee is an Americano with milk. Not big on straight espresso, nor anything that ends in -chino (cappu, frappu, etc).

    If you are ever interested in some good beans, check out S&W Craft Roasting for really good stuff. For a budget brew, I go with Fresh Roasted Coffee (they have a website and an Amazon storefront).
