Coffee thread.

  My boss has Keurigs at her homes.  I always appreciated the convenience of them when
  I was over there dogsitting.  As for taste, I don't really care, I drink coffee for the rush!

The PR has taken to making me my first cup of coffee for the day.  She's actually quite good at it. 

(It's instant.  My taste buds went years ago with my sinus problems, so rot gut and quality taste about the same to me.)

  I'm sorry about your taste buds.  My father lost his sense of smell almost entirely in the last
    20 years or so of his life, for unknown reasons, and with it most of his sense of taste.

They are related actually in some way...was reading about it after I lost both for about a month when I had pneumonia. I had it happen before but never to that degree...It sucked...to say the least. 

I'm sorry also QV.

Taste buds of my grandmother went due to a fall on her nose. Well, tastebuds still worked, she could taste sweet, salt, sour, bitter and unami. But all the other aromas, the ones the nose is used for, were gone for her.
So, making tasty food became a challenge. Good balance in basic tastes and nice structures had to be found. On top of that, she was not allowed to use a lot of fat, and was on a sugar and salt free diet. Real challenge.

I guess my taste buds haven't really gone, as much as they've been chronically depressed.

Raspberry it is. <- with raspberry.

Excellent choice. Love dark chocolate with raspberry. It's in my top three of loved chocolate combinations.

My absolute favourite still is dark chocolate with lemon and black pepper though.

  I'm having my coffee with heavy cream, porque no?

[Lestat]

Never had raspberry inn dark chocolate. Best chocolate I've ever had was either salted chilli, or salt and lime, either of them 90% or 95% cocoa. Or just with chunky bits of sea salt in the bar is nice too.

And ew, cbc. milk or cream in coffee, or even worse, in tea ,  ruins it.

  I like it that way. But never with sugar.  I can't drink it sweetened.

Coffee needs to be black, strong and unsweetened.
