what is your favorite coffee

Dark roast, always and forever. And BLACK, because I like the taste of coffee. I grind my beans every day with a hand-operated burr grinder, since I have yet to find an electric one that has a coarse enough setting. French press, 195-205º water. Good coffee takes work.

Wow, you are a real barista!
When I am in Canada, I like to buy and grind my own. I mostly go for mocha blends, but sometimes an Italian blend, Lavazza or Illy.
Right now I am living in china, where real coffee is not so affordable (as if any food item in Canada has been so affordable these past 20 years), so mostly I drink instant. Fortunately there is a variety of rather drinkable Vietnamese coffee available. Yup, drinkable instant. That includes "weasel coffee", which I have to admit is a nice blend, but a little light on the caffeine for my regular morning hit. My wife calls it "cat-poop coffee", and in English it is better known as civet coffee.
My favourite types of coffee:

- Black
- Americano
- Mocha (steamed milk , chocolate)
- Cappuccino (steamed milk , foam)
- Irish (coffee, whiskey, sugar, cream)
I like a big latte with three sugars from Costa. It was the highlight of my day when I used to drive. Even the stuff from the machine is good if it is clean and well maintained.

Mostly I'm a tea drinker, so I get a nice buzz from coffee. For me it's the hard stuff.
