You've got a ways to go to become a true coffee snob, Grasshopper. (Old Kung-fu reference, just in case it's beyond your memories.)
I hate coffee, but I'm married to a (nice) coffee snob. No-can-do with K-cups. That's a preconceived notion that someone else knows how strong/weak you want your coffee. (Also a marketing plow to get you to spend more of coffee.)
Hubby's favorites are Starbuck Sumatra, Sumatra, Seattle's Best #3, Pete's Coffee, Kona, AA (can't remember the rest of that name, since he shortened it to ah-ah, but I know it when I see it on the coffee shelf.) And his breakfast coffees are Dunkin Donuts, Pete's Coffee or Starbuchs Breakfast blend, and WaWa. When out, his favorite stop-by-for-a-fresh-cup coffee is Americana at Starbucks.
Sometimes he likes French Pressed. (Sometimes he likes that weird thing that requires its own special maker that makes strange noises -- slurps -- and then the cream foams on the top. I think it's called Expresso, but I'm not allowed to make it for him, so I don't remember. lol)
Recently, he's discovered he had to cut out caffeine to sleep at night, BUT decaf has finally arrived. It's just as good as "real coffee" now.
There are two things we do no matter how our finances are. Drink our favorite drinks. His is coffee. Mine is diet decaf Coke or Pepsi.
To cover that, we hide money. (There is a reason I collect banks, each bank has squirreled away money, because we have been broke enough not to be able to afford rice. So, whenever we have change, or if we're getting changed and find dollar bills in our pocket, we stick it in the closest bank, just for such emergencies. lol)
Viva la coffee, and viva la diet decaf national-brand cola!
