I got away from bottom end coffee and dumped the creamers. Initially I switched to half and half and sugar. But it is way healthier to just drink coffee.

Coffeemate and the like tastes like chemicals to me.

We do a Trade Coffee subscription since January . They mail you different stuff from around the states on your schedule. You rate everything they send and they choose stuff like the coffee you love. Not cheap and most mailings are 10-12 ounces not full pounds but it is high quality stuff. Basically I reroute my booze money into coffee as old age / medicals have reduced booze use

My brother is a huge coffee addict. I swear he has OCD for coffee.

He has this roaster that he uses to roast his own coffee every Sunday morning. Takes about 10 minutes per batch which lasts me a week:

Fresh Roast SR800 https://a.co/d/afQOm94

Lot of websites for green coffee beans but he goes here:

https://www.coffeebeancorral.com/

You can get one lb of beans for around $7-8 from different parts of the world. Absolute steal.

The coffee is so fresh from roasting that I don’t need to have hardly any sugar or milk in it.

I’m glad my brother is an OCD coffee addict

Of course! Excellent decision. Of the global ones they have in stock now, I really like the Flores one below. The first couple rows on their website are coffees they have in stock all the time, like the Danger Monkey, Two Stroke Smoke, etc. Those are great, but I like to scroll down to the ones on the bottom couple rows. Those are the ones they source from the best coffee-producing regions all over the world.

FLORES BAJAWA NGURA
Organically grown, Wet Hulled

Tastes Like: Rounded Kiwi Acidity, Maple Sweetness, Earthy Molasses Finish

This coffee is sourced from family owned farms located on the slopes of the Inerie volcano in the Ngada regency of Flores. Over the last decade, a growing number of farmer groups have pooled resources to improve upon processing coffee using wet-hulling techniques (called "Ngura" in the Bajawan Language) similar to those found in Sumatra. Attention to detail is exquisite, reflected in the ripe cherry selection, raised bed drying, and hand sorting done 3 times before export.

If you like what you try, check their website from time-to-time, they update it with new batches all the time. Keep your eyes open for the one below. I just finished a 5lb bag of the whole bean and it was outstanding. The best coffee I've ever had in my life I got from Pablo's. It was from the Dimtu Tero region of Ethiopia and it had this spectacular blueberry taste. Unfortunately they haven't had that one in stock for over a year.

Did you know that cold brew is less acidic than regular hot-brewed coffee?

Yes. the heat causes the oils to bloom and release the acid. Cold brew is really good and I drink a lot of it, but the wife likes hot and during the winter I still do hot.

Cold brew is the cure for what ails you though, I agree.

I drink so much coffee I had to switch to avoid stomach problems, especially after my surgery.

You had to switch from hot to cold brew?

Interesting.

I drank like a whole jug of STOK on a trip not long ago (I was REALLY ****ing tired, guys) and it kind of made my stomach kind of acidic.

Hopefully I can keep my shit under control enough to not have to give up coffee.

I like the Pike Place flavor of Starbucks. 22 k-cups are like 17 dollars and change now so it's ridiculously priced. Pretty damn good though.

I only drink the coffee those monkey cats shit out of their butts

Yeah, I had stomach surgery a few years ago and my stomach is only about 4 ounces in volume. Regular hot coffee gives me heartburn something fierce.

Huh, interesting. Glad cold brew works for you.

That would be bad for me, I love spicy shit. I'd just be a miserable **** the whole time ROFL

I can still eat spicy stuff in moderation. It's the acids that really get to me.

The best cup of coffee I ever had was from an old coworker of mine who was the same way about his coffee - had his own beans, a grinder, and a french press. I don't know what beans he used, but he didn't put anything in it afterwards and it was amazing. I think he said the beans were very lightly roasted to keep a lot of the oil intact or something. So good.

The Columbian blend, whole bean ground daily in burr grinder, from Costco is my daily drinker, but gonna check out death wish.
