Black Coffee

I drink my coffee strong and black and unsweetened. I drink a cup or two every morning, sometimes drip, sometimes pour-over, sometimes espresso, sometimes using a percolator. I enjoy a variety of coffee-making methods. But I always drink it strong and black and unsweetened. There are even health benefits:

from Mental Floss:
Like everything, coffee and caffeine are best enjoyed in moderation. A few cups daily can provide health benefits...

1. Coffee is loaded with antioxidants. ...
2. Coffee can lower your risk of serious disease. ...
3. Coffee might stave off cognitive decline. ...
4. Coffee could help protect your heart. ...
5. Coffee may ease symptoms of depression. ...
Join me in a cup? But whatever you're having, please share it with the T Stands for Tuesday blogger gathering.

  5. I've been a plain black coffee drinker since I started in my late teens, but recently occasionally have it with cream and an unsweetened flavoring because I missed my occasional International coffee--but wanted to avoid all the strange ingredients in that treat coffee. Very recently have even started drinking teas in the evenings (also plain without milk or sugar). But my mainstay is still plain black coffee. Grind my beans and do pour-over now the past several years.

  9. I've used half and half forever with my coffee, but lately I found a bean I really like, so I've enjoyed it black. I always grind my own beans right before I make my pot of coffee. I go for moderation with a big dose of extremism (grin). Can't live without my caffeine! Thanks for sharing this with us for T this Tuesday. I have missed you for T and am glad you are back!

  11. It is amazing how coffee and tea both have such good things in them. I don't drink coffee, but my mom drank a lot and she lived until 93. Hope it was a great T day.

    1. It was a problem with Norton's settings. They had a handy button to click to dispute their decision, and they responded quickly. Again, I am so grateful you showed me what the problem was. I'd never have known otherwise.

  14. Love the coffee affirmation here. Makes me feel even less guilty about sneaking in another cup this morning. I do add a touch of milk to mine - a lifetime habit that I can't break (55 years of it - lol). Happy late T-day and Hugz

  15. I only drink decaf but it also helps with asthma. Still looking after sick kitties, so I'm very late to the party. Happy T Day! Elle/EOTC xx
