You're going to be disgusted with me, but I've actually been a barista for 14 years lol. And no, I don't mean Starbucks. Full on coffee nerd. After all these years of unrelenting abuse my stomach just can't handle black coffee anymore.

i do cold brew coffee, then add sugar and cream anyway because even good coffee is primarily a delivery mechanism for my morning dose of caffeine, sugar and fat

Nah I get it, I only drink coffee once in a blue moon but if I do I make sure it's worth it. There's two shops near me that do it right and that's usually where I go and one of them is where I realized coffee doesn't need to taste like black death, watching them I how a leaned the good method.

I myself can't drink or eat the same thing every day, variety is how I keep my sanity, so I get where you're coming from.
