Do you have a preferred or favorite coffee ritual in the morning. For me it's 30 oz of plain old drip coffee, black, using the Costco medium roast beans in the silver leopard spotted bag.
Have been using a 14 cup Cuisinart machine, but it is damaged and will need to be replaced soon.
So, what's in your kitchen and do you have any strong opinions about your coffee?
I think mine is an old mr coffee.
I like mine black.
And hot.
Sad to say I don't do coffee :o
My habit is a 12oz Coca Cola for my caffeine fix...

Ma boi!
I changed over to Pepsi a year ago. That little extra lemon kick does it for me.

I have switched to a dark/french roast at the request of my two son's. The I plastic welded the coffee maker back together. It has been doing fine.
We are a coke house historically. Lately though Dr. Pepper has been gaining traction. I have always like Dr. Pepper, but not the diet so when I cut sugars the Dr. Pepper went. But the new Dr.Pepper Zero has some excellent flavors like blackberry and cherry that I really like and that have swayed my wife into a Dr. Pepper drinker. Those are a special treat for me. After my morning cup of Joe I am a water guy.
Well while Coke is my all-time favorite! When I was working on the fire department, I was buying the coke in 2-liter bottles. (Miss the days when those were $0.45 each) These were place in the freezer for a while. I drank one throughout the day and one was taken in my spare boots to go on incidents.
With seafood I do like Barqs Root beer (these may not be in some areas) of which I keep on hand.

I also like Dr. Pepper...
The diet & no sugar drinks give me almost instant headaches.

I don't get headaches when I drink them, but I sure do when I stop if I am drinking more than 20 oz in a day. I used to think it was the caffeine, but I don't have the issue if I skip the coffee for a few days. I think it must be the artificial sweeteners.
I need to stop my sugar and HFCS intake, but I'm not sure any of that Zero stuff is any better.
Looking at my heath, I should only drink water, low acid juices and certain teas sweetened with agave syrup at best.
Sugar is so addictive.
