I've always enjoyed the flavors/smell/experience of a quality cup-o-joe. But first thing in the morning, especially when I was in the Army, even shit coffee will fulfill the basic requirements. Now that I'm out of the Army and enjoy a few more options shit coffee requires a little splash of creamer to mask the bitter cheap flavor.

I get the feeling that a lot of the reasons a shit cup of coffee gets such a pass is because the flavor is usually masked by people's habits of using creamer or sugar. Certain preparations of coffee, roasts, or whatever drunk black can be pretty intense in a bad way. Starbucks is consistently one of the worst offenders for me. I'll drink it but it really doesn't taste like it was meant to be drunk black. I don't have a problem with Denny's or regular coffee shop coffee that just tastes like plain old coffee. But starbucks is like a burnt kind of bitter.
