Well, whatever the opposite of a coffee snob is, that’s me. I like the rotgut swill that is in the staff kitchen here at work. I drink the stuff that they sell at the gas station, you know, the kind they put on 2 days ago. I even <> microwave my coffee.
Now don’t get me wrong, I can appreciate a decent cup, since my stomach doesn’t do backflips when I drink Starbucks. but there is nothing like the wakeup jolt you get when you take that first sip of coffee with that lovely hint of burnt cigarettes.
A REAL MAN! If you can’t see grounds, it’s a waste of time and effort.
Don’t listen to any of these pantywaists around here. Males who shave their legs and wear bathing caps when swimming? I tell ya, the guys around here make metrosexuals seem like the Marlboro Man.
Real coffee is black, with no sugar…and it’s bold…it’s not that crap you get at gas stations…you can’t even say if this is tea or coffee because you can help yourself with 12oz of coffee and see the bottom of the cup…

I have to agree with Francois; in fact, I’d go so far as to say it is difficult to find a real cup of coffee in the US.
I like my coffee like I like my women – strong and black!
Oh, the stuff at gas stations is great, especially if it’s been sitting on the burner for 5 hours, the water overflowed the filter and there are a couple of tablespoons of grounds in the bottom of the cup. Guarantee you that you won’t see the bottom of the cup with this stuff.
And WTF is “bold”. Is that some fancy newspeak for blacker 'n shit??
Realization: Most people don’t really like “coffee” … they like “sugar milk” with a dash of coffee.
As for me … I’m a Diet Mountain Dew guy. If I want to drink something that tastes like coffee, I’ll pour some snapple that’s been sitting under my car seat for 5 days (in july) in an ash-tray and drink it down. If I want a “starbucks” taste, I’ll just microwave my milk that’s left after eating cocoa pebbles.
Besides “uncool” what do you call someone that doesn’t drink coffee and especially doesn’t drink $5 cups of Starbucks sugar-milk?
Go to any Army office and drink the stuff that’s been sitting on the burner all day. Its so thick that its viscosity rating is ‘lava,’ is so dark it stains teeth, and is so powerful that, when combined with a pinch of Cope, it sends one’s heart rate above 200. Drink that and you’ll never be considered a coffee snob.
