Ditto. But coffee isn't one of those things high on my list of
priorities. I do drink coffee when I go out to eat breakfast. That
doesn't happen very often. I do not require it before or while I eat
the first meal of the day.

I didn't start drinking coffee until I was in my 20's. I always loved
the smell of coffee, though. It's too bad even really "good" coffee
doesn't taste like it smells when you first open a bag or a can.

I have never liked lattes or sugar or cream in coffee. When I drink
coffee I drink it black.
